I made this card for the "Vehicles" card for the monthly SASSSC swap. It features the motorcycle stamp and new embossing folder that will be in the summer mini coming out next month. The dsp is from the winter mini called Night and Day.

This is the second card we did last weekend for stamp club. It features a brand new set that is available this month only from SU. It's really a neat set.

Vintage Nature


This is one of the three cards my club members made last weekend. I saw a layout in the April/May issue of The Stampers' Sampler. Susan Eubanks did some wonderful cards with this set and technique. She used glossy "book paper" which I guess means magazines. But none of my magazines had full pages of type that were suitable for stamping the image on, so I made my own with the En Francoise background stamp and glossy card stock. Stamp the words on the glossy first. Rub on color where the blooms will be. Stamp the image in versamark and clear emboss. Brayer over everything with Chocolate chip ink. Wipe off the excess ink and you're done!

I've been mooned by Zindorf!

Michelle and me at the workshop
The teacher

Michelle's sample



My first zindorf card!

Here is Michelle "mooning" the class, lol!



Here's my moon.


This is how she keeps up with her class samples and steps.

This is called Le Jardin Bontanique on a golden lake.


I was one of the lucky ones that was able to get into the Dallas area Zindorf brayer class today! This is the first Texas class that I have seen on her calendar. I barely got in and she had a looooong waiting list. She did 4 classes, two yesterday and two today. She does a beginner and an advanced. I got into the beginner only, but I will keep an eye out for her to come my way again so that I can get into that advanced class. Michelle was so much fun and her class was too. We were all amazed by our end products. There were many aha! moments. I'm sure you have drooled over her cards and often wondered how she gets those wonderful effects with her brayer. Well there IS a technique to it. I can't wait to demonstrate it to my down/side line and club members. I will let you in on a secret though ......start off the paper!

Bunny Gift card holders

I wish I could say this was my design because they are so cute. But the truth is they we designed by Chat Wszelaki over at www.memystampsandi.blogspot.com. I plan to put in the target gift cards I bought for the grandkids to put in their Easter baskets. I think they will work perfectly. I used the ornament punch for the boys and the scalloped circle for the girl. The base if the petal die for the Big Shot.
