More skittle album, a layout and FREE GOODIES

my next two installments on the skittle coaster album are ready. The first one is done using the Technostamper Monday Lunch Sketch:



and the coaster:




The technique junkies technique i used is called aged tiles and i have to say i really love this one! i will be using it more i think. the heart stamp is from the new studio g series 11. and yes, that is Pezzy letting her brother cover her from head to toe in stickers :P

the next coaster page uses the SCS sketch for this week:



and here is my coaster:



I was not sure if I could pull this one off but i managed to. The TJ technique used here is called cuttlebug Glow and this is another one i will be doing more of - it uses perfect pearls and anything using perfect pearls is a winner in my book!! (see below if you want to win some!) the stamp on either side of the pic is another from series 11 and is stamped in versamark and then dusted with perfect pearls. the background was sort of a happy accident - my craft mat had pefect pearls all over it from doing the cuttlebug portion and i wanted to use reinker to cover the coaster - quicker than paper right? so i was going to clean up the pearls but then i figured why not leave it there. so i just squirted the reinker on the mat, ran my brayer thru it and inked up my coaster. well despite there being very little pearl powder it really gives it a super sparkle! the skittles just happened to be a perfect match - these are available for purchase over at sugar and scraps. She does great work! If you don't see them contact her as she is scrambling to get everything up!

Finally, my LO for the weekly sketch challenge over at Paper Patch Crafts. first the sketch:



An now the page:



this is a pretty simple one but i really like it. these are some of my favorite pics from our trip to my moms. The circles i used for the balls are covered in clear embossing powder to give them a sort of plastic ball look. bottom border is a series 11 stamp again. and i almost got to the end without using skittles but there is ONE on here - can you find it?? leave me a comment telling me where it is and you will be entered into a drawing for 2 jars of perfect pearls - your choice of colors! The drawing will be open until midnight Saturday april 25 - if you leave your comment as anonymous be sure and leave a way for me to contact you! Again - tell me where the skittle is!!!!! (This contest inspired by my super sweet way too tired last night friend Cat over at Sugar and Scraps!!)

Be sure and tune in tomorrow as i expect to have future studio g series pics for you!!!! (darn attachment wouldn't work this morning!!)

  28. Hi, just found your blog with a link from Techno Stampers blog, glad I clicked. I found your Skittle on the journaling tag handle. What cute pages. Loved all of them, I have often wondered about using the TJ techniques in my scrapbooking. Haven't tried except on cards. Thanks for sharing.
