Try That Technique thursday

This week, Beth Norman and I challenged each other and the other TJ members to do a card using the Penciled Twinks technique from the Feb 08 newsletter.

I used a stamp and papers from ClubScrap - it's really hard to see the shimmer from the twinks in this scan, but in real life it's very pretty.

Would love to see what you can do with this Technique and if you aren't a member of Technique Junkies check out http://patstamps.com/ and it's easy to join.


Don't forget to check out Beth's Blog to see the amazing artwork she did with this.


I have been under the weather the last 2 weeks with pneumonia and am just now getting back into doing any crafting.  I will be adding some cards in the next few days that I've done for our Club Scrap PSL challenge

Beth and I opted for the "Level Up" Technique from the August 2010 Newsletter from Technique Junkies.  I used the Wood mounted stamp from the Adobe kit from Club Scrap to make this fun card.  All papers are from the same Adobe kit.  I hope you enjoy.

Card Keeper Books

I learned how to make some fun "Card Keepers" or "dates to remember" books a few years ago and made up a couple recently to show here in our RV park to see if anyone wants to learn how to make and thought I'd share them here.
This is the 2nd book I made

 And this is a view of the inside

 This is one I made last month....

 This are very easy to make and one method is available on Split Coast Stampers Website here.

If you make one I'd love to see it.
Thanks
