Polished Rolling Stone

I am so sorry I can't seem to get a clear picture. I have been trying to shoot in different environments, and with different cameras and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. when I shoot pictures of the kids or the dog they turn out clear. I will keep trying to get you better pictures. I am still posting, because I haven't posted in such a long time.

I wasn't thrilled with this card when it was a thought in my head, but I did like the way it turned out once it was done. I had signed up for a swap that used the Polished Rolling Stone technique. I also wanted to use a microscope slide since I hadn't used them in quite some time. So for the polished stone I used More Mustard, Summer Sun, and Gold on glossy cardstock. I rolled marbles in Basic Black and then rolled them over the polished stone. I used the Wrought Iron punch for the corners and the Flower is for Stampin Up's Heartfelt Thanks set. You can't see it very well but the microscope slide cracked, giving a great authentic cracked glass look.

I will try to Post a better picture of this one, because I am proud of this one. I didn't even case on this card. Which is huge for me, because a large amount of my stamping is cased with a twist.

I Hate Windows Vista

Sorry I haven't posted in a bit. I have Windows Vista on my new computer and nothing seems to work with it. I can't get it to recognize my camera. I am struggling with this. So, I apologize for not having posted in a bit. I promise I will have some new posts before the end of the weekend. I have some fun things I want to share.

Please stay tuned...

Paint Can Challenge

I have fallen in love with these paint cans. I was given a batch of clean gallon size paint cans a few months ago. I work in the construction industry and was able to coax some out of a local paint supplier. Score for me! I am thinking to do this as a stamp camp project. This little one is a quart size can that I thought was too cute. I was thinking that this would be the perfect size to fill with a cello bag of cookies.

To make this simple design I used all Stampin Up products. I really like the versatility of the Spring Flowers patterned paper and the coordinating Spring Bouquet Flower punch. I finished it off with a piece from the Hodge Podge hardware kit and some Apple Green gros grain ribbon. Let me know what you think.

I Got Mail!!!

I received my first order from Eclectic Paperie . I received the most adorable Primas, and Prima purses. I also received the coolest papers from Basic Grey's Pheobe collection. I can't wait to place another order. I am very impressed with how fast I received my order. I have the privilege of knowing the owners personally and let me tell you, these ladies Rock! I will play with my new treasures this weekend and post some of what I come up with.

My First Punch Card

Well, I have labored over this punch card. I have taken elements from so many things I have seen I don't even know where to give credits to. I entered a swap that grew to 21 samples. Can you believe I am almost done with 21 of these? I think I am on the verge of insane. Thank goodness for the tweezers in my SU tool kit. Let me know what you think.

I am working on better photos and learning how to work with the programs. this whole things is a learning experience for me.
