It’s a bittersweet time of year, Becca went back to school last week and I miss her and think it’s wonderful – all at the same time…quite conflicting….but I get a lot done when she’s in school – and have lots to do planning Stamp camps, the Used Rubber Stamp Sale and the “Time to Stamp Camp” in November – which will be a full day of stamping – with REALLY cool classes!
Now, on to stamping news…
I have to tell you how much fun my Hostesses had at Hostess Appreciation last month….they made fun cards, 3-D projects and flowers and a great color chart. We used gorgeous papers, hot accessories and ate yummy deserts. All with a Luau theme. Just some of the projects….
None of you want to miss my party next year…so plan on having a workshop or book show or joining a Color Club (the 1st one launches this month and is full – starting to take reservations for club # 2 !) between now & July 1st 2011!!!! And come be appreciated next year!!!!

Speaking of brayering…..or in this case sponging…try sponging various colors in random splotches across your white cs, (like….pumpkin, red, pacific point, espresso and a little black around the edges….add a background stamp and Voila…a gorgeous background ready for incorporating into your finished card!
PS – remember – as a friend told me… if you don’t have ink all over your fingers…you’re not doing it right :-)
