Tag Punch Starburst - Easy Technique - Give it a Try!!


This weeks Splitcoaststampers new technique is a tag punch starburst. I made this card with bits & pieces from my scrap bin because I was sure it would be super complicated - I WAS WRONG!! Very easy - give it a try!! Hopefully I will get the time to try again now that I know what I am doing!! Check out the fabulous examples found here.

Charlie's not naughty - he's high spirited.....

I love this Charlie Image from Whiff of Joy!! This is my submission for their current Challenge to make a Christmas Card with no red or green. I CASED the falling snow idea from Cindy Haffner's bunny seen here on Splitcoaststampers.

No Stamping involved...


This is my submission to this months Stampers Dream challenge. The goal is to use mainly grey / a color pop & some bling!! I am one of those people whose favorite color is GREY & I love the grey & pink together. I used liquid pearls on this project and now I think I need it in every color available!! Great versatile product!!

The traveling image.............

Myself and three other artists recently did a traveling image project. Each artist stamps several copies of an image and mails them to the next person on the list. This continues, with each person adding something to the project until the traveling images returns home.

The above photo shows how my travel images looked upon their arrival back home. I love how this turned out. This piece of art is so special to me as it contains the efforts of three artists whose talents I greatly admire. My heartfelt thanks to Chrissy, Jan & Kimmie!!

No color pop ???????

This is my entry for a Flourishes Chat Challenge which was to use all neutrals. This was a big challenge for a "pop of color junkie" like me!! The little sparkles were an attempt to cover up a crafting boo-boo.
