Fashionable Stamping Challenge

I stumbled across this site a few minutes ago and I LOVE it. They seem to have a big emphasis on stamping and vintage designs. Looks like they have some great challenges too. I think I will make a card to enter in their latest challenge. Ooooo, so much fun! Here is their URL.

Writer's Conference

Just got home from a fabulous writer's conference in Arlington, TX. It was sponsored by the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. I learned so much and got a great critique on a manuscript I had submitted to one of the editors attending. I have two agents willing to look at my material. I am really excited to be getting one step closer to publication. I'll let you guys know when I know anything. Thanks for indulging me for a moment. Check out www.scbwi.org if you are interested in joining our regional group.

Delightfully Random

Time for another Tuesday Trigger in the Moxie Fab World!



I found some lovely new papers from the Madeline collection by Prima Stationary. The colors matched this week's Trigger perfectly. I had a great time creating this card.

Here's my card and the Trigger is below.

 

And here's the Trigger photo and URL..

Masking Technique

   This is a card I created using masking. I began by stamping the blue flower that appears to be on the top of the other two flowers. Then, I stamped the same image on regular copy paper and cut it out. I laid that cut-out image on top of the one I already stamped on the card. Using pink, I stamped again overlapping the cut-out image. I did the same thing again in purple. Looks like it could be difficult, but it's easy.
