Why I like Snow



It is still snowing today although not sticking. It is a challenge that is for sure. took three sets of friends and neighbors to pull me out of the driveway over the last few day. It is so pretty and to be honest it makes me stay home on days I am tempted to head into town so in a way it is relaxing.
BTW here are pics of my grandpuppy Juno! Cute huh!

I have a question...I took a class from you long ago one technique was Colorbox Chalk Inks on Kromecoat paper. How come I am stamping with Bisque and Alabaster and after I smear the colors on top you can't see the background image in alabaster~a frustrated stampin fan of yours!

Hi Mary Jo. I took a class from you in Sandusky this weekend and meant to ask you a question. I love the 'Silk' iridescent paints made by former company Stampa Rosa. They are the ones that come in the little nail polish type bottle. I figured you'd know if there was another product like this out on the market currently.

My email is sunderance@gmail.com.

Thanks! I really enjoyed your class.

Thanks for visiting

I love Chris Cozen's use of nature in her pieces so I am totally thrilled to have received this wonderful POD stencil set from Artist Cellar . BTW Chris's new book with Julie Pritchard is incredible. This coming June, Chris will be teaching at  Spokane Art Supply  and I cannot wait to see how she uses these stencils! When I get a new stencil I like to see how they look just outlined in black so that is always my first step. Once I saw this I knew I wanted to draw them in pencil in mass. Come back and see this as a full page in my doodling journal later this week. I use a lot of figures and I make my own templates sometimes  using magazine cutout and them painting them with plain acrylic on both sides then coating them with matte medium and then  Micro Glaze . This makes them tough like vinyl and the Micro Glaze keeps them from sticking together. If I end up loving the image I cut out a REAL stencil from acetate. These two look kind of beat up but they ...

Pages with Distress Oxides and Crayons

So last week Tim ( http://timholtz.com/tim-holtz-products/ ) sent me a bunch of Distress Oxide pads. I was curious and wondered how they were going to stack up against all the old pads I had loved for like more than 20 years. Well I was very pleasantly surprised and pleased. The colors are great and the blendabilty was excellent! This is a fusion ink which has properties of dye and pigment. I have always loved that the color line of all Distress products has a good array of neutrals which many stamp pad lines do not have. When I put the first color down I thought they felt a little dry but I was working on Mixed Media Strathmore paper so any pads would feel dry. I put a couple more colors down and pulled out the awesome Distress Sprayer. I really like this Sprayer!!!!! It's very easy to use and that little on/off button makes it great for travel. Once I started spraying I could see what the fuss is all about. The colors blended really well ...
