Framed Nesties

This is a technique I developed for Technique Junkies. It appeared in the August newsletter. You can see in the first two photos that the window area is raised, giving it a lovely dimension. I hope you like them.

I am off for a weeks vacation to Oregon to spend time with my youngest son Ian and his family. I am really looking forward to it. It will be a relief to get out of this Arizona heat for awhile. I only wish it were going to be winter here when I return next week! LOL!

I hope all is well in your little corner of the world.

Tie Dye Chic

There is a challenge over at Bella Creations. It is called the Bella Unique Challenge. This challenge is technique based and the Design Team at Technique Junkies have all done the Tie Dye Chic Embellishment technique from the Stampbooking CD. You can see all of the other design team members' beautiful creations at Technique Junkies Blog. The prize to be awarded by Bella Creations is the Stampbooking CD and a years worth of TJ online newsletters!! Good Luck!

That is my beautiful granddaughter Grace in the photo.

Another Great Technique from Technique Junkies

This technique is called Spray Away. It is in the July issue of the
Technique Junkie newsletter What fun this technique is! It lends itself to all kinds of stamps and many compositions.

You Can Make One Too!!

I always want a way to showcase the many cards I get as I consider each of them a work of art. Several years ago I purchased a wire thing from Pottery Barn that is used for photos. I have it above my desk. I like it, but not how much I had to pay for it, LOL! I have been on the hunt ever since. Well, I hit pay dirt and by that I mean DIRT CHEAP. I purchased a wire garden fence (those short ones you put around a flower bed) for $4 at Big Lots. $4 can you believe it? I must say it was a really nasty green color, but it was only $4!!!! I took it home and spray painted it black, used wire cutters and cut off the wires that stick into the ground. I then dismantled part of it, according to where I wanted to place it on my walls. I even had a large piece left over to give to my daughter to use for family photos. What a perfect and nice to look at display of my stamping friends art. No more having piles of cards here and there. Now they are just a glance away.

I hope this inspires you to make one yourself. Please leave me a comment if you make one , and tell me what you think. Have fun!!

My son Shane in the news on Channel 12

To say I am proud of my son would be such an understatement.He is kind beyond measure, thoughtful,loving, generous and did I mention handsome? LOL! He is a HUGE blessing in my life. Truth be told, I am in awe of him and his abilities. He is a great son, a fabulous man, and an all around wonderful human being.
You make me proud Shane and I love you more than words can say!
