Flower Soft Class

Here is the lineup for the Flower Soft class September 17 at 9 am.  I love the variety of techniques using a product I'm having a lot of fun with.  We'll two each of the three cards, mostly for the sake of time.  This first card has layers of inking and embossing before the final application of Polar White Flower Soft.

Polar White Flower Soft makes a lovely Christmas scene.  This card uses a Tim Holtz pine tree, snow resting on the branches.  Snow is still falling against a blue sky.  Snow Soft would be a better name for this card!

This card has been a hit all summer.  We'll use a Penny Black stamp to create cattails on a distressed ink background.  Very simple, very elegant.  You can use a different sentiment, if you like.

The text is the focal point here.  Touches of Autumn Flower Soft frame a familiar scripture set on scalloped oval Nestabilites.  We'll even emboss the scalloped oval the words are stamped on. 

So here's the set.  One card uses a sculpting technique, one a spare and random application and one uses a heavy application that dominates the card.

Day off

Sort of. I'll go in around 2 pm. Got to get some housey things done but I'm excited to get into the studio. Creative ideas are bouncing around and I have to EXECUTE when that happens. If it evaporates, it's gone! For me at least.

Elk in the shadows

We spotted an elk resting under a tree this morning as we walked home from church. He was most likely one of the "lonely boys", my term for the males who just weren't tough enough this year to have a collection of ladies for themselves. Poor lonely boys. Maybe next year.

G-sale-ing

Here's what can happen. LOTS of cool stuff. Less space in the garage. You've been warned!!!

Scripture cards

Here's the three cards that started all the madness; hope they post better this time!

I had a fun day today @ the Rubber Stamp & Scrapbook Expo in Greeley. I met up with some good friends, made some new ones and got some good ideas. Susan Mostek and I are working on a plan for her to come & teach again in October. Watch the blog for that announcement. She's working on some gorgeous cards!

Guess who fixed her blog???

Wow, wish I had those 6 hours of my life back.  Oh, well, its done now and I can get back to creating and posting.  I'll try sending those Scripture card images AGAIN.  Sure hope I don't start this whole mess over again.  Even if I do, I think I can figure out how to fix it faster.  Hopefully, I've learned SOMETHING!!  ;p

You gotta come and see me Saturday!

Because Friday afternoon, I'm getting one of my most anticipated papers ever!  The conversavory line from 7 Gypsies.  Completely gorgeous.  You gotta see it.
