Flight of the Butterfly doing the jig...

This is a card I did for a workshop last week. We used the Stamp-a-ma-jig for the butterfly in order to place the dots right where they should be. I love how the Crushed Curry is so bright on Whisper White card stock. I was worried about how it would show up...most of the time yellows just don't look too good next to whites ~ but I love this! Hope you like it, too!

Have a great day!

Explosion Photo Box

Good morning, Everyone! I wanted to share a project that's been quite popular for me ~ an explosion album box. What is different from this box compared to most I've seen is it can hold 4X6 photos. Most explosion boxes only hold small photos because each "layer" is made with one 12X12 piece of cardstock. The box I've made is actually made with 2 pieces of 12X12 cardstock for each layer. Here are the photos of one of the boxes I've made. I also did one for a Mother's Day class I did ~ but sold my sample so I don't have one to show. We used the DSP Tea Party for it. I also have a kit made up that uses the DSP Good Morning Sunshine and Good Friend stamp set. I'll post it as soon as I get one made up. The box stands close to 7" tall and is about 4-1/2" on each side.

Thanks for checking in!

Progressive Scrapbook Page

Here is a Progressive Scrapbook Page using the Bella Rose DSP. When I say Progressive Scrapbook Page, do you know what I mean??


It means that the scrapbook page starts out as a 6X6 page, which you can incorporate into an 8-1/2X11 page, which can then be incorporated into a 12X12 page. Usually when I have a hostess that wants me to do a scrapbook page for her class, I will do a 6X6 page. But, for the class, I demonstrate to them how they can take that 6X6 page and make it into any size that they might use. I know lots of times I just take what is presented to me ~ in this case a 6X6 page ~ and I think...I'll never use that, it's not the size I scrapbook. But with a few additions, you can take that 6X6 starter page and make whatever size you need.

Hope you like it! Let me know if you have any questions.

Bleach + Stamps =

The bleaching technique! We did this technique this month in my clubs...most of them were pretty impressed by it ~ it's definitely a WOW technique! I did find out one thing ~ the supply boxes that SU! sells are not air-tight enough for bleach ~ even in a span of 2 hours. I made my sample at 4:30, then had club at 6:30 and the bleach did not hardly work at all. It had already lost it's potency. So...I recommend that you use fresh bleach each time you get ready to do this technique. That way you'll be guaranteed great results!

Enjoy! and thanks for visiting...
