Off we go into the wild blue yonder. Climbing high into the sun….. I cannot get that song out of my head! Today's card features the Plane and Simple Stamp Set from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I sure hope this makes it into the 2011/2012 Idea Book and Catalog because I love the antique images in this set and we have so few masculine stamps. Whether it's for a birthday… Read More »

The image was colored in using Marina Mist and Old Olive Stampin'… Read More »

I'll be showing the ladies how to color with alcohol (not the drinking kind!) and markers at the New Techniques class on Friday, 4 March 2011. I first stamped the image with Jet Black Stazon and then started to color in with the Poppy… Read More »
