Featured Artist & Cuttlebug Highlights Technique idea

This card is so cute I just had to get permission to share!! Donna is on Technique Junkies email group too, and I found her post in my in box this morning- AWESOME!

 

Donna Duquette  is our featured artist today be sure to click her name and visit her blog and let her know I sent you!   Her description on the email said: "

I think I'm stuck on this technique, LOL!  This time I gave it a different spin and brayered the embossed design with Versamark, and then embossed the embossing with clear EP.       Stamps:  none!"

 

Personally, I am working on kits-LOTS OF KITS!   I have had a fantastic response to kits by mail - card kits, recipe book kits and the technique book.  I first had to put together the cards and supplies for tomorrow nights cards galore class #2, and I am making a few projects with the gorgeous cardinal stamp in the mini catalog today so stay tuned for that post tomorrow.  I also have to "find" my work table, my tool table and my floor in the room before guests arrive! lol Toimorrow I have TOPS and more kit making, on Wed Kris is coming to stamp at 11 am,  and in the evening is our group meeting for orphan demos and my downline.  I always love these meetings and card swaps! I think I am going to collapse on Thursday lol (ya like that can happen) and then keep making kits to get in the mail! Oh I nearly forgot the Homemade Gourmet gathering this week too! As my mom would say-  "no rest for the wicked" lol gotta love those momisms!

Hope you are all having a productive day too! I did go to curves this am and I can sure feel it all over! lol but its a good feel bad kinda thing you know? lolol

hugs!

Featured Stamper: Debby McGillivray

Debby is a wonderful friend of mine from suangels yahoo group. She posted this card today and it's so stinkin cute I knew I just HAD to share it with all of you!

 

"I made this card for my 87 yr. old Aunty, who is having back surgery next week I believe it is.  She is now in an assistant living place and no longer on the farm which her and her late husband used to be pig farmers.

The scan is not the best because the piggy is pop dotted and stands out from the card so my scanner didn't like that and made it a little blurry in places.

Angel Hugs,
Debby McGillivray

AMAZING CARD!

I belong to a yahoo group called technique junkies and this morning the cutest card was in my email box and I just HAD to feature it today! (sent it to hubby also! lol)

I made this for todays SCS sketch challenge.  Both word panels have the tech done on them.   Stamps are LIWP, Innovative Stamp Creations, and I don't know who made the Doctors Orders stamp I bought it years ago and there is no name on the block.

TFL! Brenda
