Fall leaves. . .

I really like doing the Polish Stone Technique and I really, really like this stamp! This stamp is by Northwoods and a good friend of mine, gave it to me!!! Thank you, Kathy.

Do you like making Autumn cards? Do you like the polish stone technique? Have you given it a try?

Have some fun today and I hope you get some ink on your fingers!!!

hugs and Prayers,

I am not. . .

Greeting friends, I know it's been several days since I posted anything. Forgive me, time got away from me. Today, I wanted to share a card, I made and sent to a friend. She should be getting it any day now.

I have been trying to find the saying stamp, but of course, I have laid it down and I can't find it. The boat is from Stampscapes and the dune is from Seaside Stampin, stamped several times. The background was done with re-inkers and alcohol and instead of pouncing up and down as one does for the polish stone, you streaked the cotton ball across your glossy paper. It is a lot of fun and I learned this technique by Kathy, owner of Seaside Stampin, while at a convention.

I hope you all are enjoying your summer and you have been getting some stamping time.

Thinking of You

Hello again, I thought I would share this card that I just completed putting together. I did the auto piece a few weeks ago. I think this card would be a nice one to send or give to a man, don't you?

The stamps used in this card are: the background is by Judi Kins #2206 J, the auto is by Stampers Anonymous #P5-1089, and the Thinking of You is by DeNami Design. I stamped the auto on a piece of glossy paper that I did the Polish Stone technique on. Every time I do the Polish Stone, I chuckle. A few years back, my friend Kathy and I decided we would learn how to do this technique. I don't think we ever had so much fun or laughed so hard. We were going to make a couple of backgrounds and then go to something else. We began right after lunch and I don't think we quit till supper time. We would do a background and then one of us would say OH, that is so ugly and the other would say, WAIT before you throw it out, stamp an image on it. Each and every time we would go, ahhhhh, that is so pretty.

Thank you, for taking a look and I hope you have some fun, today.
