Hope you all are having a wonderful and creative day. <br />
Life has been pretty crazy lately and I've been toying around with the idea of changing my blog. I've been thinking that I need a blog that more suits my creative projects and process.<br />
So I dove right in. Here is the link to the new blog, <a href="http://confessionsofacaffeinatedcrafter.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Confessions of a Caffeinated Crafter.</a><br />
I have already begun posting there and I've got a few interesting projects going on. I won't be posting here any longer, so for the followers that I have, please start following my new blog.<br />
Take care and I look forward to hearing from you all,<br />
Jodie<br />

Rob and I can't believe that it's been 2 months since we went to Alaska. Where does the time go? Being in the middle of the dog days of summer, I personally REALLY miss Alaska's cool breezes and fresh air feel. With that being said, here are the pages that I did for when we visited Glacier Bay. This is the first side...
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj5emrDvOr5HwPrEx7RpGkZauRACZ1FORiO7UkVsWUTszxoQdgo5wIszijH6UIbBh2vst7mKI3fugV1CICkWZd2xVRaMaxfYxL9hbRp3mpxqw2qPlTfEAIDUywPHUB7x3gfFk7Vl_LIZ-F/s1600/IMG_0504.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj5emrDvOr5HwPrEx7RpGkZauRACZ1FORiO7UkVsWUTszxoQdgo5wIszijH6UIbBh2vst7mKI3fugV1CICkWZd2xVRaMaxfYxL9hbRp3mpxqw2qPlTfEAIDUywPHUB7x3gfFk7Vl_LIZ-F/s320/IMG_0504.JPG" /></a></div>
I didn't want a lot of background patterns to overwhelm the pictures so I decided to go with a white background. This was hard, one because working mostly with cards lately I had trouble locating plain 12x12 paper, and second because I love my pattern paper, it was tough not to use some.
The title I made by painting plain white cardstock with Sorbet Paint from Art Anthology that I bought at <a href="http://www.thestamproom.com/sorbet-texturepaint-2oz.aspx">The Stamp Room.</a> This stuff is awesome. It's a dimensional paint with lots of sparkle in it, what more could a girl ask for? lol So the next picture is a closeup of the details of the page.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxXPC_plx8af_hh5SU9mWfO96yfuEbkVx-1Y5l1oUwOiTvVt5uTILzLVcfKLqPFCcDEDhtdaiuOakLiJ6hnCr7R6Xgp47s0aF3FA_fBa3Wz9oAAyNz6YXzvU__GnSHktd1rdoJn8mVjerq/s1600/IMG_0505.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxXPC_plx8af_hh5SU9mWfO96yfuEbkVx-1Y5l1oUwOiTvVt5uTILzLVcfKLqPFCcDEDhtdaiuOakLiJ6hnCr7R6Xgp47s0aF3FA_fBa3Wz9oAAyNz6YXzvU__GnSHktd1rdoJn8mVjerq/s320/IMG_0505.JPG" /></a></div>
I used the paint on a background stamp I had and made swirls peeking out from the photos. FYI remember to clean your stamps RIGHT AWAY if you're using paint on them, otherwise the stamps could be messed up permanently. I also used the Sorbet Paint on some chipboard pieces that added dimension to the page, then of course I had to add my bling. Here is the other side of the layout...
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC23giK-mxCAv_oiB_EnfVQORug1PdSYofZq0j7CY72BKKZmwzNXmFlZxROFRkOisVCdfIvU8JFWlOk5oCcKsHjUNfo6ppiNLzJTXOe6NEbvQRq-x52TQ_gBcFsafE3C0PH4ADyb-2_E7d/s1600/IMG_0506.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC23giK-mxCAv_oiB_EnfVQORug1PdSYofZq0j7CY72BKKZmwzNXmFlZxROFRkOisVCdfIvU8JFWlOk5oCcKsHjUNfo6ppiNLzJTXOe6NEbvQRq-x52TQ_gBcFsafE3C0PH4ADyb-2_E7d/s320/IMG_0506.JPG" /></a></div>
I cut all the letters out using my Cricut Expression. If you are using thicker cardstock, remember to use a fairly new mat so that the paper will have good adhesion to the cutting mat.<br>
Hope you enjoy the pages and get a few tips from them.<br>
Take care and happy crafting - Jodie

I've been feverishly working on our Alaska trip and am happy to say I am one and a half layouts away from being finished. I thought I'd start posting some of the finished pages with tips and tricks of the details I used. Here is the latest...
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Nh8cgvea_P_ssEPbdy-wnRDYbkGIo3KdvhDoZ8SyqD737qYTJkjbaYkz8SacZWrIxfG_F0CscXWMk0ZN2xbw9QhroJEP3xXr8XCyaWwapD1XuKQCkU2xHN8u6VRk4laayQXwz6cmNlNf/s1600/IMG_0489.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Nh8cgvea_P_ssEPbdy-wnRDYbkGIo3KdvhDoZ8SyqD737qYTJkjbaYkz8SacZWrIxfG_F0CscXWMk0ZN2xbw9QhroJEP3xXr8XCyaWwapD1XuKQCkU2xHN8u6VRk4laayQXwz6cmNlNf/s320/IMG_0489.JPG" /></a></div>
If you've read my other posts you know that this album has been a challenge, just because the colors in the pics are not my usual color scheme, so paper with these colors have been in short supply. I have started using molding paste and stencils to give dimension to my work, so on the tag, I colored the paste with mica powder and used a new stencil I got...
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR5xfoUC7_2eoz1_njWKWDuUlDDKbkXY0tJx36_6N4VCdVPSYqKP2MeGJ1KWQppc-22WkzCM_3XK1uTySjuMj4Qd8Pes_izZ2AL0a6E-SbemDkeJbvxx1ZA7-l33q-s7dypTbBV6labytP/s1600/IMG_0490.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR5xfoUC7_2eoz1_njWKWDuUlDDKbkXY0tJx36_6N4VCdVPSYqKP2MeGJ1KWQppc-22WkzCM_3XK1uTySjuMj4Qd8Pes_izZ2AL0a6E-SbemDkeJbvxx1ZA7-l33q-s7dypTbBV6labytP/s320/IMG_0490.JPG" /></a></div>
I first painted the tag with Twinkling H2Os, did some stamping with StazOn, then added the paste and let dry. The next photo shows how I used the new Tim Holtz Distress paints...
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB2yrGYsjPbQHXIyYWCXtnQNWiBUgc83lVD4ghw_hr9SipWvuTWCTh8jazNQyu8LX0U7_hf8YjiWE72tSje8FEdvqPzPx9Bg93mxnVlQGcnM7DQQ0Q2f-ZmWwPZYn73IfbmSsE0j4Pcbi1/s1600/IMG_0491.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB2yrGYsjPbQHXIyYWCXtnQNWiBUgc83lVD4ghw_hr9SipWvuTWCTh8jazNQyu8LX0U7_hf8YjiWE72tSje8FEdvqPzPx9Bg93mxnVlQGcnM7DQQ0Q2f-ZmWwPZYn73IfbmSsE0j4Pcbi1/s320/IMG_0491.JPG" /></a></div>
I painted the Grungboard pieces with the paint, then stamped over it, once dry with the same color of ink pad as the paint. I wanted subtle texture and this worked out perfectly.
<br>
Thanks for visiting and be creative!

As some of you may know, I've been taking an online class of sorts. It's called <a href="http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/classes/campscrap2013/index.php">Camp Scrap</a> and it's like a virtual camp for papercrafters. Each week there are new videos and challenges and all sorts of stuff.
Anyhoo, one of the challenges was to use a new product or one you haven't used in a while, so I broke out my Twinkling H2O.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhjkQXfmCx6fR6EYTtwq0q_4t-4iusbwkU1HNpOJVRkGcS_uzmxj3V-PkDp6TxxVu4JkBj2beY5fpBOC0NnKfvu_W18OuV855cGYBVGAZoh0X6J8NjkOqkaixcjZFARDqjZkSow55v8IJd/s1600/IMG_0485.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhjkQXfmCx6fR6EYTtwq0q_4t-4iusbwkU1HNpOJVRkGcS_uzmxj3V-PkDp6TxxVu4JkBj2beY5fpBOC0NnKfvu_W18OuV855cGYBVGAZoh0X6J8NjkOqkaixcjZFARDqjZkSow55v8IJd/s320/IMG_0485.JPG" /></a></div>
This Alaska album has been about modification. Modifying my papers and embellishments to better suit the colors of the pictures. In the above photo, I used the Twinks to change the color of the chipboard stickers, which worked great, because the glitter was still showing through, even after I painted them.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkTgzUxrTGXLgIGjUwV44B_hG1UNczGfdVcnfTjFSWaQj7dOc0W0GdKobqHcpJsxyTwFLnyEYLZyquen1KnR7DfDB0cAUJRdlcw6TQ6Ckfa_MuyoYREoHd9n84NCAJ6zKMMZdEdfwp0S9i/s1600/IMG_0487.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkTgzUxrTGXLgIGjUwV44B_hG1UNczGfdVcnfTjFSWaQj7dOc0W0GdKobqHcpJsxyTwFLnyEYLZyquen1KnR7DfDB0cAUJRdlcw6TQ6Ckfa_MuyoYREoHd9n84NCAJ6zKMMZdEdfwp0S9i/s320/IMG_0487.JPG" /></a></div>
To also add more interest and layering, I broke out my grungeboard accessories, and painted them with the Twinks as well...
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7jbZCKy9G9kaWfe-75DsZ9f-RLu-H8-qaOhVU-TmrkCMbccXS4vfHHgtRcO53wExF3kaqcv9TCQo4ngGHM846R5LLQhOOfoUfd6rzEABZG64pG5C6JjjMGQr8MMnUUa0SgYxzqrpTeS8j/s1600/IMG_0488.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7jbZCKy9G9kaWfe-75DsZ9f-RLu-H8-qaOhVU-TmrkCMbccXS4vfHHgtRcO53wExF3kaqcv9TCQo4ngGHM846R5LLQhOOfoUfd6rzEABZG64pG5C6JjjMGQr8MMnUUa0SgYxzqrpTeS8j/s320/IMG_0488.JPG" /></a></div>
As you can also see in the above picture I painted green cardstock (which originally was the wrong green of course - lol) and cut out letters and strips of accent paper for the page.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrCBxeDhnn0TpRHzIfxT3DXmqG7WDweFfmDPK6bmiFuEOVxVYrDsqJ8U-AW7pg2bg8QHbJUNRCATgit29GOU-Wu4PSL2m0MawLA9nT8MVbWcS_0OwzvqhfntNRakjI0fGyu7WTaRHenf8z/s1600/IMG_0484.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrCBxeDhnn0TpRHzIfxT3DXmqG7WDweFfmDPK6bmiFuEOVxVYrDsqJ8U-AW7pg2bg8QHbJUNRCATgit29GOU-Wu4PSL2m0MawLA9nT8MVbWcS_0OwzvqhfntNRakjI0fGyu7WTaRHenf8z/s320/IMG_0484.JPG" /></a></div>
I think the final layout really came together well. I'd forgotten how great those little paints are!
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZZBHnJ9nPH3q3YrpwzWlkMWnJCfkhz87u8TLiX8Sc6BrgxVROk4rJynNmxZfe6JUVTM63XHL7P5HrCNGiiquwbLxlHm7xPd9Znja2FOyAuE2VgK58BDGoLsI6dAucPb8ttCJGGjz1J-aD/s1600/IMG_0486.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZZBHnJ9nPH3q3YrpwzWlkMWnJCfkhz87u8TLiX8Sc6BrgxVROk4rJynNmxZfe6JUVTM63XHL7P5HrCNGiiquwbLxlHm7xPd9Znja2FOyAuE2VgK58BDGoLsI6dAucPb8ttCJGGjz1J-aD/s320/IMG_0486.JPG" /></a></div>

I hope that you are enjoying your Sunday so far. I certainly am, but unfortunately it's going by too fast! LOL I just wanted to write a quick note that I'm still scrapbooking, but not creating a layout. How is she doing that you ask?
<br>
I'm actually sorting through all my digi pics and man what a task that has been. It has been cathartic though, weeding out the keeps and not keeps, plus reliving all the great memories that the photos are bringing back. I have started to read this new e-book (well it's new to me - LOL) called <a href="http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/ebooks/photo-freedom.php">Photo Freedom</a> and it's really reawakened my interest in scrapbooking again.
<br>
Part of the philosophy is getting out of the idea of having to scrap in chronological order, which for me is a challenge. But sorting my pics in a different way, has made me be interested in scrapbooking again.
<br>
Anyway, that's my shpeel for the day. Hope you a have a great rest of the weekend!
<br>
Take care - Jodiejheuser69http://www.blogger.com/profile/01885250228573507550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030244187632668823.post-74766896651011214572013-06-13T11:13:00.000-04:002013-06-13T11:14:27.912-04:00WOW, 2 Posts in a RowHi everyone,
I'm really getting inspired to start more scrapbooking. It's partly due to the amazing photos of our Alaska trip, while the other part is due to this fun class I'm taking over at <a href="http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/">Big Picture Classes</a>. This is a great site, not only do they have reasonably priced classes, but a selection of them are free. If you're a scrapbooker, you gotta check it out. Don't worry my stamps are still getting love. I just bought a bunch of great stamping stuff at my friend Kina's store <a href="http://www.thestamproom.com/">The Stamproom</a>. It's an online store and if you're in the Jacksonville, FL area, she'll probably have time for you to come over and shop! She has a wonderful selection of mixed media supplies, stamps and more! And no I'm not getting any kickbacks from these sites - LOL.
<br>
Anyhooo, onto today's post, I'm working on the Alaska album and here is one of the latest layouts...
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRn2z24Bk9Fmvb02MiMtX0zJe0OBzwVLNJxlPIskk5jSAwZHk8LSq9sC0T0MudSWOl6TV7spL_2uOcSwPaiX8rlUj5MUwdGTQi38dWg_StI4sq5i0RjxUWpXvI6ZtcTCbBi_V6moy3eUat/s1600/LO-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRn2z24Bk9Fmvb02MiMtX0zJe0OBzwVLNJxlPIskk5jSAwZHk8LSq9sC0T0MudSWOl6TV7spL_2uOcSwPaiX8rlUj5MUwdGTQi38dWg_StI4sq5i0RjxUWpXvI6ZtcTCbBi_V6moy3eUat/s320/LO-1.jpg" /></a></div>
I've been having trouble matching the amazing greens and blues in these pics, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. As any crafter knows, I have a TON of paper and I just can't bear to buy anymore, so I made my own...
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguxP5_Ru8lYbp-38z5OvuFI31L2ZzuWzltI1CsDNnlyo_OKPmJx2HH5-ynPtcPN5HHcAbcyXcn2OaXRKcNBr_UXosWL3fgr4DFiA6N2lN4Ko3uoIReqQ_XzQ-id9K7JzFhvXQhpgvY7fps/s1600/IMG_0473-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguxP5_Ru8lYbp-38z5OvuFI31L2ZzuWzltI1CsDNnlyo_OKPmJx2HH5-ynPtcPN5HHcAbcyXcn2OaXRKcNBr_UXosWL3fgr4DFiA6N2lN4Ko3uoIReqQ_XzQ-id9K7JzFhvXQhpgvY7fps/s320/IMG_0473-2.jpg" /></a></div>
The green paper is or I should say was a really, light pale green. I took a green ink pad that matched the pic better and inked up the paper. At first I used a Foam Applicator by Tim Holtz, but it wasn't giving me dark enough coverage, so I took the ink pad directly to the paper and used the applicator to spread out and smooth the ink. So at this point I just had green paper, so to add interest I added some background stamps in black Memento Ink. If you notice, I used the flowers that I made green as well. If you don't remember how I did, tune into yesterday's post. But I couldn't stop there because I wanted more green paper but with slightly different tones, so...
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS5T3mmMuyoezom0vz6i43KOiYaJ_KYGzej72wkNGJ5A_Pgm491EMk3AAGDS93PvDGaH1-VUc_BBJIWSLjPcGIF_fYrmy-QgVUo5ZozpxTdviRqQHzBuHjMla_Vl4nlcASN0sTcONRuLIo/s1600/IMG_0474-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS5T3mmMuyoezom0vz6i43KOiYaJ_KYGzej72wkNGJ5A_Pgm491EMk3AAGDS93PvDGaH1-VUc_BBJIWSLjPcGIF_fYrmy-QgVUo5ZozpxTdviRqQHzBuHjMla_Vl4nlcASN0sTcONRuLIo/s320/IMG_0474-3.jpg" /></a></div>
The green here was originally white glossy paper. I broke out my Alcohol Inks by Ranger and went to town with their Felt Applicator, (OK so it's the same applicator, I just changed the pad!) I also added a touch of the copper alcohol ink. Remember a little of this goes a long way. So after all that, this is how it came together.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRn2z24Bk9Fmvb02MiMtX0zJe0OBzwVLNJxlPIskk5jSAwZHk8LSq9sC0T0MudSWOl6TV7spL_2uOcSwPaiX8rlUj5MUwdGTQi38dWg_StI4sq5i0RjxUWpXvI6ZtcTCbBi_V6moy3eUat/s1600/LO-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRn2z24Bk9Fmvb02MiMtX0zJe0OBzwVLNJxlPIskk5jSAwZHk8LSq9sC0T0MudSWOl6TV7spL_2uOcSwPaiX8rlUj5MUwdGTQi38dWg_StI4sq5i0RjxUWpXvI6ZtcTCbBi_V6moy3eUat/s320/LO-1.jpg" /></a></div>

Hi everyone, it seems like I haven't posted in forever, but looking at the date of the last post, I guess that's the truth! LOL Just to give a few details about what's been going on...
Folks came down in November for 2 weeks and we had a blast. If you go to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/jodie.heuser">my Facebook page</a> pics are posted with more to follow.
I made it through the Christmas season and inventory at Hobby Lobby, which was crazy busy and stressful! Work has calmed down a bit, but I'm thinking about a career move, more on that to follow.
Then finally Rob and I went on an Alaskan cruise for a week, to celebrate Rob's birthday, the big 50! It was amazing and it's working on this album that has brought me to today's post. Out of all the paper I've got, the pics are this amazing blue and green, and I just don't seem to have the right color of paper in either cardstock or print paper. I'm having to improvise. Of course this applies to my embellishments so...
<br>
This first pic is a comparison of where my flowers started and where they ended up. They started as pale pink, salmon, yellow etc. and ended up this amazing forest green with gold highlights.

Here are the tools that I used. I used Pinta alcohol ink but you could easily use the Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks. The Lumiere paint I added with my finger. The paint is a hunter green with gold highlights, which are what I wanted to pop out from the flower.

I know it's been ages since my last post and I'm hoping to change all that. Recently I was reminded by a friend that my work is valued and that I need to do more of it...so here we are...

I did this card for a couple of challenges in order to get the creative juices flowing. I just love fall, especially all the colors changing, unfortunately here in Florida, that doesn't happen till January, so I have to get me color fix through my cards.
The stamp I used is from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and the paper is from Memory Box Co. I of course colored her in with Copic markers and used jewels for her dress.
The card shape is a little out of my comfort zone, but it was fun to try something new.
Enjoy and I look forward to more posts than once every six months lol.jheuser69http://www.blogger.com/profile/01885250228573507550noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030244187632668823.post-40487488396713921712012-03-16T10:46:00.004-04:002012-03-16T10:49:45.098-04:00March Upcoming ClassesHi everyone,<br />Here are the samples for my upcoming classes.

With digital stamps you can resize them to fit any project.

There are 5 images in total.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0mMoFK6Lg0GfEL1d1yQ3Kh-NCfkBttZeNpdN2t0sAftGgUuyVCTlCjNlLhqwYMOzHWXhhtOe9vI0ntzhA_Y5MojMNhEKCUI5X3zWTAbBL1FTt-zdEisD-Ry14xNwlB42l4SE29nz-YFKi/s1600/SDC10187.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0mMoFK6Lg0GfEL1d1yQ3Kh-NCfkBttZeNpdN2t0sAftGgUuyVCTlCjNlLhqwYMOzHWXhhtOe9vI0ntzhA_Y5MojMNhEKCUI5X3zWTAbBL1FTt-zdEisD-Ry14xNwlB42l4SE29nz-YFKi/s320/SDC10187.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601005341032871042" /></a><br />I then added glitter for the finishing touch, and voila, my card is done.

My crafting gene has had to take a back seat to the living of life, but now I'm back and fired up to start crafting.<br />Here is my latest creation using <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/2CuteRubberStamps">2Cute Digital Image</a>. Heidi is a great designer and her images are adorable. She offers a great selection in both cling rubber and digital stamps, so be sure and check out her Etsy store.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi71jDQr_rvFci-b3eMhSvmeSZBkctfuMc8_V71A_FN3HZ2VY6I_0F4qI4NZlKS6MrPbhTqZw6GOyyelupT8ZvfjmZuHSrfPzKamLrGkOUwIMx3Fsg9XmxsLFOtLFOe7VZkp5nLbkSCgIEG/s1600/2cute-042211.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 245px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi71jDQr_rvFci-b3eMhSvmeSZBkctfuMc8_V71A_FN3HZ2VY6I_0F4qI4NZlKS6MrPbhTqZw6GOyyelupT8ZvfjmZuHSrfPzKamLrGkOUwIMx3Fsg9XmxsLFOtLFOe7VZkp5nLbkSCgIEG/s320/2cute-042211.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598085257608076706" /></a><br /><br />We all know that I love the bling, but with this card I decided to go ALL out. I used glitter, beads, and pearls. The image was colored in with Copic markers and Art Institute glitter. My poor little fur babies were walking around with this stuff for days!LOL The dies are from Spellbinder and I just love their new labels and shapes!<br />I hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend and have a creative day!<br />Take care - Jodiejheuser69http://www.blogger.com/profile/01885250228573507550noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030244187632668823.post-16142693809005257222011-02-05T07:30:00.000-05:002011-02-05T07:30:02.057-05:00Happy ValentinesGood morning all,<br />Hope you are enjoying this cool weather. For those of you who know me, you all know that these temperatures are working for me, colder would be even better! LOL<br />Heidi, who is owner of 2 Cute Rubber Stamps is having a Valentine challenge, <a href="http://2cuterubberstamps.weebly.com/1/post/2011/02/valentine-challenge-starts-saturday.html"> at her blog.</a> You will for sure want to check it out, her designs are wonderful.

I created texture and interest, but simply used white cardstock, mounted onto a white base.<br />The little guy was colored in using Copic markers, then I added more detail with Stickles glitter glue and gems.

Where is the time going? Since as many of you know my family is in Canada, so I have to start my Christmas shopping ASAP.<br />Of course this doesn't mean I don't take time out to create a card or two...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVlm_dCQGd8noQfoVchTcd13zRr-4WOO0R9OTImAnNU8fKnXaZJQNcTeaUea4iu-YORVTYpgP12GBHQWaVSJGDYw2axmRLMjc05a9_no-hDi2heB81dSb1X_stQlK9zdTt7bU4eYDftPt6/s1600/2CRS-111510.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVlm_dCQGd8noQfoVchTcd13zRr-4WOO0R9OTImAnNU8fKnXaZJQNcTeaUea4iu-YORVTYpgP12GBHQWaVSJGDYw2axmRLMjc05a9_no-hDi2heB81dSb1X_stQlK9zdTt7bU4eYDftPt6/s320/2CRS-111510.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539845148786374962" /></a><br />I made this simple card, not only for my design team committments at 2 Cute RubberStamps, but also for the weekly Mojo Monday challenge.
