A Glimpse of who I REALLY am!

That's my bumper sticker. Not the best photo but the sun is fierce here in Arizona at 112 degrees!! And there is no getting away from it. Yes, I was a child of the 60's. I still hold dear all the true meanings of that movement very close to my heart. Peace and Love ...we could all use more of that! Granted, I did a lot of kinda of crazy things (that I won't go into here, LOL!) but it was the true heart of the time that meant so very much to me, and still does today. Oh BTW, did I tell you I went to Woodstock? Did I mention my daughter was with me and she was 3 months old? 1969 was a great year all the way around for me. To this day, I can listen to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young..Joe Cocker..Jimi Hendricks and be transported right back there after 40 years. I was a Flower Child and it was GROOVY!

And the WINNER is!!!!!!

That would be Wendy Thrift from Australia! Congratulations Wendy! I will notify the Paper Temptress and she will mail your wonderful papers to you! I would love to post on my blog your creations and I'm sure the Paper Temptress would also.

BLOG CANDY!!!!

Just leave a comment and you can win a 20 piece hand chosen package of my favorite card stock assortment from the Paper Temptress.

The first card is made with the Silver Laser Lustre line and I used Cryogen White (my most absolute favorite!!) to stamp the image on. The image is from Hearts in Touch. Frances has the most gorgeous Asian images. Truly they are the best around! I also wanted to show you how beautifully these papers emboss.

The second card was made with Silver Laser Lustre, Eclipse Black and Silver Sizzle Glossy. You will notice there are some text weight papers in the package. I use these for my mats as they keep the card light and therefore less postage. You may recognize the stamp I used but may be wondering what I did with it. Well I came across some fabric paint in my studio. It is the kind with the very thin nozzle. I stamped my image and then used the fabric paint as an outline to add dimension. It was fun and quite effective on the Silver Laser Lustre background paper.

So all you have to do is leave a comment. You have until June 30th. Exactly one week from today, I will pick a winner by random drawing.

GOOD LUCK!

More From This Month's Package

Another project from Hearts in Touch Victorian Embellishmnet package.

Every Month Something Different

I used this months embellishment package from Hearts in Touch to create this card. Every month Frances has a package of assorted papers, bellies, ribbon and more in various themes. This month theme was Victorian and the assortment was fabulous. The price is right at 15-20 dollars per month and they are really fun to work with. I embossed the vellum sheet with a Quikcuts embossing folder and got just the look I wanted to finish the card off.

A Blast From the Past!

My niece Donna just purchased this VW bug. When we were both younger, I had one and we used to tool all around in it. Can you believe this car is 40 years old? It's really fabulous and we had our first ride in it together this morning. BTW, this photo was taken in my front yard. Peace out!
