Stamped Tissue on ATCs

July12thATC 006

Here are some Artist Trading Cards I made at home today playing with permanent ink on tissue paper, adhering with gel medium and then adding some acrylic paint for accents.

Playing with a full Deck ATC class

July12thATC 004

When I heard that Novel Approach was having an ATC class I signed up right away because Artist Trading Cards are so much fun and I needed to replenish my stash. I had a lot of fun working on these. The class was 3 hours and had minimal instructions so it was pretty much play with inks and colors! Some of the techniques I’ve never done before were the Emboss Resist stamping, Luminarte’s Twinkling H2Os, Crayon resist, and using gesso and phone book pages.

I’ve had these pics for a while and thought it was time to share my Fabric books with you. The first 2 pictures are of the book I made on HGTV’s That’s Clever tv show that aired Oct 2006. The 3rd is the demo book I made and sent to them for the final pitch. Being an avid scrapbooker I just had to make a layout with pictures of me and the production experience! You can Check out the book instructions Here.

Video Games Live Houston 2008

July10th,2008 011

What a blast we had last night! There were so many people in Jones Hall it was like being packed as sardines! But the show was awesome and thoroughly enjoyed the music. The Houston Symphony Chorus did a fabulous job, my father in law was one of them, and they nailed the songs! Check out Video Games Live for more dates.

Me all dressed up!

4th of July in Texas

Our 4th of July here in Texas was a blast watching fireworks over the beach. We also had a gorgeous sunset that night so of course I had to snap that too! Just thought you would enjoy these!
