All Ocassion Card

This card is fun! Lot's of Techniques! Ever work with bleach in your stamping?

First choose a dark card background. Choose a stamp that has a large focal point and then a smaller stamp of a similar nature.

You have to work quickly and carefully with the bleach so as to not compromise your stamper, rubber and chlorine don't mix well. You also need cream bleach.

Stamp the smaller stamp on the card using the bleach as your ink. Watch as it pulls the ink color from the card! Cool right?

Next stamp the larger imprint on the card face letting it pull the color from the card as well. Clean your stamps immediately after using with the bleach in soap and water to preserve the rubber. Next, emboss with black embossing power over the dried "bleached" impression on the top of the card. After it has set...color with markers the places where you have it bleached within the embossed spots.

Layer, use alittle ribbon and there you have it....different right?!

Got to love the techniques it's what sets your work apart from the store bought cards!

Warwick Farmer's Market...

What a great day to take a stroll through the Warwick Farmer's Market. Go early and see what there is to create a great meal with....I scored some fresh chives, early garlic, portabello mushrooms, some amazing peppers from the pickle guy!

I created when I got home some amazing Rissotto. Corn and Mushroom Rissotto to be exact! It came out so good, mostly because the ingredients are so very fresh!

My favorite farm markets are the one in Goshen and this one in Warwick. This year I am going to see if I can try out a few different ones though, we are so fortunate to have them in almost every town in our County!

Love to cook just another great outlet for my creativity!

Demo Day At Michael's Arts & Crafts....

Spent the Day with the other instructors at Michael's demonstrating scrapbooking for our store. Long afternoon, lots of interest in the classroom though!

We had a knitting instructor, a crocheting instructor, a beading instructor and myself for scrapbooking (papercrafting) talking to customers all afternoon. Interesting the questions that you field from people regarding papercrafting!

Clocks Of Goshen Continued....

Well No one guessed the Mystery clock posted as clock number four on my previous post....

It is Located at Steve's Deli right here in Goshen! Steve finds some unique antique things and brings them in to his Deli quietly. You never know what neat cool "new" thing you will see on a visit to his establishment.

I was surprised to see the clock! Just love it, it looks great on the outside of his building!

Mini Scrapbook Album

My ever evolving Craft room yeilds things I have stored

away that I made awhile ago...each time

I go to work on it!

This is an album

that was created

with a small box

from creative memories.

The outside was stamped and distressed and then on the inside I added

a small accordian folded pages along with a few embellishments.

Great to use as a gift for a grandparent with the school pictures!
