Peace and Tranquility

Another card I made for Feb OCAM using TJ color burst background and Artistic Outpost stamps....some of the nicest stamps I've bought in a long time.

Fortune Teller

This is a card I made using Technique Junkies block collage background techniques and stamps from Artistic Outpost.

Claudine inspired collage

Dani came for the weekend and we spent two days playing with Claudine's background techniques. I bought all of her new sutdio line paints and we had a great time trying out the paint techniques. Here is a 5 x 7 collage that I did on one of my glazed paint backgrounds. I have finished backgrounds in peeled paper, peeled paint, and textured. Can't wait to finish them.

This collage makes me think of my family when we all get together...hence, the title.

Claudine inspired ATC

Here is the second ATC I finished this morning.....will the rain ruin her new hairdo? Probably!

ATCs a la Claudine Hellmuth

I've been fascinated with Claudine's work lately and ordered her book, Beyond the Unexpected. These are some of my weekend attempts at rinse aid resist and a poppet. It was rather hard to make such a small poppet, but I think it worked.

A Valentine Tag

Instead of cards, I make my grandchildren tags for the holidays and birthdays. Here is one of the tags I made this year using stamps from http://www.artisticoutpost.com/.

The PAO board has a Feb challenge to do a layout that is outside your comfort zone...Well, this certainly qualifies! I used Basic Grey papers, covered grungeboard heart with paper, sanded and edged in Distress Brushed corduroy; covered flourish and letters I and U with pink ink and embossed in clear, then re-embossed with more clear and glitter. This is my DGD, Morgan, who lives in Florida.
