Mmmmm....crawfish!

In case you've never had the pleasure of attending a crawfish boil here's what it looks like :)

I have a few Easter cards to post today. Not much time to "talk" as the 17 year old woke up the baby so i said he has to watch her while i finish this....may not last very long!






The first two use the emboss resist technique with Ranger's bridal embossing tinsel, perfect pearls spray mist made from perfect pearls powder and stamps from CTMH. The third one is just a Fluffles stamp colored using the Gamsol technique and then the cracked glass technique and SU papers - LOVE SU papers incase i haven't mentioned it before!

Try to be back with a few more to post tomorrow or Wednesday. I am also working on changes to my website - i hope everyone likes it!!

gotta love embossing powder!!!!

i did these cards with the magic pattern technique in the Technique Junkies newsletter I just got - so many fabulous ideas, so little time!!! the stamps are a CTMH set that i just love AND i got to use my watercolor pencils that have just been sititng around - i didn't get very artistic with them as i have not had much success with that....i really love this look but need different stamps to make it look as good as the samples i have seen. i made these for my mom because she said she needed some "every day" cards.

in other news...i finally broke down and ordered some grungeboard! :P i fought it for awhile and then started looking at the elements set and thinking maybe....but then there are some weird shapes in there i thought i'd never have a use for, then i thought oh what the h*** i just have to play. and then don't you know i suddenly realized the piece i thought i would NEVER use will be the first one! i had some pics sititng on my table waiting to be scrapped and i came up with the perfect idea - used crackle paints to and LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!! but ya'll will have to wait til i get my grunge board piece before you can see it!! i am really trying to do more scrapbook layouts and use the new products, stamps and techniques i am learning on my pages because frankly i have WAY too many cards!!!
