My Father's Day Page

Memories of my husband & my daughter Jordan, Old Orchard USA.  I took this picture while they where spinning in this big giant bear ride.

Well let me tell you I found a new addiction! Specialty Designer Series Paper.  It's in the new Summer Mini Catalogue.  This vintage Designer Series Paper has different glossy designs that can be magically revealed using 1) Smooch Spritz 2) Aqua Painter 3) Brayer or 4) Sponge and ink.  I love love love it… As much as my stencils which I use a lot!  The brown specs are smooch spritz in log cabin.  I recommend using the color catcher so you don't have smooch everywhere.

My close up reveals a light impression of colors because I used a sponge.  If you want a bolder look, then I would suggest a brayer.  If you notice on the right side of my picture, I also stamped Sense of time stamp set over my sponged image to create texture.

If you are coming to one of my clubs or Melissa's party on Monday you get to make one of these!

Then I added On Board Cog in chipboard.  And added some chocolate chip ink to it. I used chocolate chip instead of early espresso because my new catty order will only make it in Canada monday!

By the way, have you noticed something different from this page?

Stampinup! sent us some samplers of cardstock from the new 2010-2011 catalogue.  A wonderful perk from being a demonstrator.  I used cherry cobbler and early espresso.

This is one of the techniques I did at my Riverfront stampin’ retreat.  The retreat is over but you can still purchase the 24 technique book.  Details here:  http://riverfrontstampin.com/?page_id=82

Stamp sets used:  sense of time, teeny tiny wishes

Punches: Modern label, horizontal slot

Soot Stampin:  Hold glossy cardstock over lit candle, so that the flame touches it.  Move the carstock around quickly.  Press a stamp onto the soot covered cardstock.   Do not touch the soot-covered part with your fingers.  The soot comes off easily.  Spray your image with acrylic sealer or hairspray to prevent smudging.

***I am currently working on creating a password access for those of you who attended the retreat or have purchased it with instructions in french and english.  I should have it ready in September, once the kids are back to school.
