Happy Wednesday. Just want to drop by and say hello! Not too much with me, just hanging out and testing out one of the La Blanche stamp that I picked up last month at my LSS. Plus, I wanted to play with the new distress stain. So, I created the background with Distress stain in walnut stain and also inked some text with antique linen (but I didn't show to well). And I distressed the image even more with the edges, etc...

Well, that's it for me, have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Hi hi, you know it... it's time again for the Greeting Farm Heart Journaling project! Oh boy, oh boy! It's sure getting challenging. This week's theme is gratitude! I didn't know how to start, so I decided to play with the Tim Holtz distressing stain in shabby shutter, distressed it with more and more colors, then masked it with the punchinella, then I didn't like it... then I added more ink and stain... and Viola! I love this picture frame Hambly print screen, and I decorated with chipboard letter for some dimension.

Totally out of my comfort ZONE! Week 2.

2011-08-03T09:50:00.001-04:00

Howdy, I'm totally crafting on the edge.... it's week 2 of the Greeting Farm heart journaling class. The theme is Sandy Sunshine. With this theme, I can't help it to put a picture of my wedding in my journal. I married my wonderful husband on April's Fool Day in the beautiful beach in Aruba.

And here is my take, I never used soft pastel before.... but I want to try it out. It was super fun and a challenge. To add a bit of texture, I used some fabric as a photo mat and for the seashell (I dabbed the background with pearl dabber ink, then stamped with the seashell stamp from Hero Arts).

Can't wait until week 3... Have a great day!

Play time.

2011-08-02T14:53:00.002-04:00

Hello and happy Friday!!! So, what is in your brain???

Lots of calculus, I hope...

Me? I have been working a lot, my brain is totally fried.

Anyways, let's not talk about me, check out this awesome background stamp from Hero Arts, it sure bring back great memories from college. Not sure whether I'm loving the card.... feels kinda bulky.... but I want to try something different...

And I also want to say a BIG thank you for my friend Lisa, she sent me happy mail.A beautiful flower card, you know how I love flowers. Plus, this wicked awesome Lauderdale floral set from Basic Grey/Hero Arts which I have been eye-ing forever. Thank you very much Lisa! I can't wait to ink them up.
