Tim Holtz stamping......

I went to the Memories Scrapbooking Expo in Columbus over the weekend...mostly I was very busy working at the Scrap Happy area. But, I did manage to sneak away for a couple of minutes to go check out the Tim Holtz stuff. I love so much of it....and some of it is too abstract for me. I did find some stamp sets to buy, though. I made a tag with some of the stamps so I thought I would share it with you.


I threw a little water on it and then stamped all of my images. Then I decided I wanted more water spots and dropped more water on it.....mistake! It only takes one time to learn not to do something. It ran my black ink....boooo hooooo. I am no longer really happy with it, but thought I would share it anyway. I love the colors.....the middle is broken china distress ink and the edges are done with vintage photo distress ink. I am really liking those distress inks....just have to play with them a little more!!

Copic Beginner class...

This is the new image for my beginner classes I teach for Copic markers. I get tired of coloring the same thing over and over so I change it up every so often.
....cute little thing! :)

Birthday Card...

This is a birthday card for my mother-in-law....(hope she doesn't look at my blog).

Hero Arts, Martha Stewart, Nestabilitie and Stampin' Up! stamp .....LOVE that new MS punch I used!!

Thank you card...

This card is much prettier in person....
I used a unknown brand stamp (music notes), a silhouette cut-out (the flourish), a Stampin' Up exclusive Sizzix die (the little leaves)...and Tim Holtz's new dies!! (the flowers and the film strip). Had a lot of fun making this card. It is a thank you card for our niece and she is going to be in Annie at school so I thought the music notes and film strip fit in with that.

Easter card...

I loved this stamp when I saw it in the store and fought and fought with myself not to buy it. Then someone else bought it and sat there and colored it in (thanks, Cathy!), so I just had to have it then!

Banananananana........

This image I colored for my friend Susie to give to a friend of hers....
This banana was probably the hardest thing I ever colored in so far. Hope she likes it!!
