Recipe Swap

About two years ago I participated in a circle journal; it is an possession that I will always cherish. We learned a lot about each other and had a wonderful time together (digitally speaking) It was how ever very stressful for some of us wondering which package would be damaged or who would flake out.

Since then I have discovered a new way to get a wonderful little scrap book that tells about friends around the country, Swaps! We are doing a swap where we do a 6x6 scripture scrap page; we each do 8 identical pages then mail them to the hostess. Who makes 8 piles of pages and sends one of each to each of us in the self addressed stamped envelope that we sent with our pages. We do this each month with a different theme, July's theme is truth last month it was hope.

Junebug and I tried a variation on a swap at my forum by making 6x6 recipe pages and posting them so we could print them out; Our theme was recipes and I personally have a cute little cook book now that I will cherish for ever!

How ever the printed pages were not as nice as the ones scrapped by the participants.
So I am open to hostessing a Recipe Swap, just this once to see how it goes; the details will be on my forum under swaps. Please visit there and let me know if you are interested


Happy Scrapping

ATC Card Holder

I saw this little card on someones blog (sorry don't remember which one) it has an envelope cut in two and glued together down the center, then glued to the card it's self; the square in front is glued along the bottom; And the top flap goes under the top of it, to hold it closed.
you can put a gift card or money or a couple of ATC cards in it.

This is a 6x6 page lay out for a scripture swap I'm in at Splitcoast Stampers

"All Dressed Up" #2

Here's My Goasty I love him, As soon as I got my stamp making kit I knew I wanted this set of stamps; I have been in love with it every since Becky designed it "by the way still copy righted"

Home Made Stamps

As you can see on the side bar of my blog my daughter has a Digital Scrap book store; The one on the sidebar is " All Dressed Up" and she very generously let me use her designs to make some stamps with my new stamp making kit. from Just rite stampers.
"these designs are copy righted by the way" She wanted me to make sure to post that LOL

Christmas card

This is my first attempt at chalking over clear ink; I have never cared for chalking by it's self, but I really like it when it's done over the clear ink. Very pretty.

Altered note Books

I used Stamping Up's more mustard and not quite navy card stock
CTMH's sunny yellow and garden green inks to do this project
This is an index card binder that I put my card page maps or sketches in so I can take it to crops with me
This is a small sketch pad that I like to keep in my purse to jot down sketches and notes when inspiration strikes me.

Masking

This is my first tutorial so forgive the sound on the first part the mike was rubbing against my shirt

My Scrap Rack

I saw the scrap racks on the net and had to have one BUT they were 225.00 plus. Sooo I put on my thinking cap and made one for about 30.00 And I love it! I had forgotten how much cool stuff I had in all my binders, now it's out where I can see it. How cool is that?
Now I have all my acrylic stamps, ribbon, stickers, page kits, coluzzles, templates and more where I can lay my hands right on them

A Giggle for you

As You Slide Down the Banister of Life, remember... 1. Jim Baker and Jimmy Swaggert have written an impressive new book. It's called... 'Ministers Do More Than Lay People' 2. Transvestite: A guy who likes to eat, drink, and be Mary. 3. The difference between the Pope and your boss: the Pope only expects you to kiss his ring. 4. My mind works like lightning. One brilliant flash and it's gone. 5. The only time the world beats a path to your door is when you're in the bathroom. 6. I hate sex in the movies. Tried it once. The seat folded up, the drink spilled, and that ice, well, it really chilled the mood. 7. It used to be only death and taxes were inevitable. Now, of course, there's shipping and handling, too. 8. A husband is someone who, after taking the trash out, gives the impression that he just cleaned the whole house. 9. My next house will have no kitchen. Just vending machines and a large trash can. 10. A blonde said, 'I was worried that my mechanic might try to rip me off. I was relieved when he told me all I needed was turn signal fluid.' 11. Definition of a teenager? God's punishment for... enjoying sex. 12. As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never point the wrong way.

Painting

This is one I painted 2 years ago for my sister, but I never finished it, I can't decide on what to do with the Back ground

Distress Embossing

I used Tim Holtz's Walnut distress embossing powder to stamp the image; It comes out looking like sandpaper, then I colored it in using my Close to my Heart ink and my water brush.
