It is the greatest feeling to get a RAK card. And also it is a good learning tool for the beginning stamper. If you have never been RAKed, email me your snail mail address and I'll add you to the list. If you would like to RAK others, email me and I'll forward you the list. A RAK is a Random Act of Kindness. When you send a RAK card you are expecting nothing in return, just the warm fuzzy feeling you get from cheering someone else up.

It was a great start to a rubberstamping filled weekend (I went to the RDU convention over the weekend and I'll send a report to the list later). I just want to say a big Thank You to my SST - you sure know how to spoil me The package you sent me was way above and beyond the call of duty! Everybody will be so jealous ;) First of all I received 2 stamps, one of a German Shepherd and a small abstract pattern stamp. I have a really soft spot for German Shepherds because we used to own three of them when I was young so that stamp is really special to me. And I can't get enough of pattern stamps because I love making my own background papers, so this pattern stamp will definitely come in very handy. Next I received an uninked felt ink pad. This is just great because I really like making my own rainbow ink pads but the last time I tried to do so, I used foam pads for my dye reinkers which didn't work too well. Now I can make myself another rainbow pad which should work much better :) I also received a circle cutter - what a great idea! Now I can cut out perfect circles instead of wobbly ones! I'm going to try this out when I start on my memory album pages and use it for cutting out frames for my photos. And to help me remember events so I can journal them in my memory album, my SST sent me a small notebook and also stickers (Aussie Christmas theme) to accent my memory album pages. But wait, there's more! My SST sent me a packet of satin ribbon bows, a packet of animal confetti and a packet of foam shapes for making abstracts or pictures. My SST made me a flower card which was made from the foam shapes - that is just so cool! Last but not the least, my SST gave me chocolates - Whitman's Sampler which I just love:D I have to add that everything was wrapped in light blue and violet tissue and the whole box was covered in little punched out bows - it must have taken ages to glue all those little paper punches on the box! SST, I can't say Thank You enough and I can't wait to find out who you are. I hope your SST really spoils you too :) Jessica This message was from lingama@ozonline.com.au (J & A Lingam) - -- The rubberstampers mailing list is proudly sponsored by the Dueling Modems Arts & Crafts Forum.

Has anyone thought about just using the words instead of the abbreviations. The more abbreviations the harder it is to read. I think it is funny that people use abbreviations to reduce the size of messages and then send them in html or add a graphic that is many times the size of the orginal message. I don't want to have to have my secret decoder dictionary in order to read a message. I find that with 700+ messages a day, if it is not VERY EASY to read it is gone. If you run a program that tells you the clarity of your message against a message with a lot of abbreviations, it will come out very poorly. The idea of email (any communication) is to get your idea across to another person (thing) with the least effort. In the case of a email group where there are 500+ people trying to read it with at least 5 or 6 differnt operating systems and likely 30 or 40 different email readers, it would seem to me that if the writer spends a second to not use an abbreviation, than the 500+ readers will save many times that when they read it. The same is true of the fancy colors, font sizes, font types and attached graphics, they may look nice to the sender but unless you have tested them with how they look on all of the different systems and email reading programs, your message is likely being dumped unread by a lot of people. Many people have their email set to not processe and email with an attachment. Others if your email is not plain text and easy to read will just filter all of your messages to the trash. Or if they don't like your posts they may also do that, like an order I received a while back, the person said she had not seen my orginal post, that a friend of hers had forwarded it to her. She filtered all of my messages to trash because of my comments on copyright. So you can see, if you want it read keep it simple.

Although I did not see the Effie video. Instead I had Besy Ritter as a teacher. She opened up her stained glass studio to our stamp club for a night. We went there and did this. Although a little differently. Fist we stamped and colored images. I did most of mine with watercolor pencils. then we went and chose pretty colored and textured glass, which her glass partner Bill cut to the right size for our pictures. Then he also cut a piece of clear glass the same size. Betsy then took each piece of glass separately and foiled them with the copper stuff, which we then smoothed with this roller thingy. The next step was to sandwich our picture between the colored and clear glass. Then the whole thing was foiled again. They came out terrific. The colored glass adds a lot to the piece!I used a couple of the pieces I made for Christmas gifts. It was a lot of fun! I hope to go back there again sometime.

I've heard so many good things about them. And can you tell me what kind of images they have? Yep, we want a review!" Northwoods 841 Eagle Ridge lane Stillwater, MN 55082 Catalog is $13.00 but well worth the steep price. This catalog is 190 pages. It is B&W on a heavy quality paper. the contents are in the following sections: Scrap Booking, Scenery, Special occasions, floral, nature, then all the holidays. What I love in this catalog is the nature scenes. There are beautiful full size typically nothern scenes like "Mallards in Marsh, Grindstone Creek, the Cabin, Country Road, Nothern Pines, Leaning Pines, Nothern Stream,Peaceful river, After the Strom, Forest Friends, Winter Road" etc etc. Each of these is a drawing of that scene which is peaceful and heart warming. The amimals, flowers, and single scene stamps like trees are also the same sketch style drawing that is very artistic and very well done. This is not a cute catalog. so if that is your style skip it. Nor is it wierd. The images are beautiful, realistic, and artistic. Many sayings and images are Christian and very tasteful. And there is a great violet. Violetnut This message was from "Marcia L.

But suffice to say that I had a great time. I only made about 40 pins to trade and I couldn't believe that there were people there who made over 150 pins. People were trading pins everywhere and pins covered shirts, scarves, bags - my husband commented that I looked like I had been attacked by a swarm of strange insects because my shirt was all covered in pins! I think there were about 30 companies represented at the convention, and it was great to be able to see all the different stamps available. They weren't all just US stamps...we now have a really good range of Australian made stamps too. It was really pleasing to see that the quality of the Aussie stamps were as good as those from overseas and competitively priced too. There are so many good Australian stamp companies that it's hard to single out any of them. But I was especially impressed by Stamp It's Australiana images - great details with wonderful Aboriginal designs and bushmen images. Inky Pinky has just come out with their own range of stamps and they are beautiful. Their Australian animal images are really detailed like Magenta stamps. And I had been waiting for the convention so I could buy the great bush hut stamps from Inkums Dinkums own Australian collection. They look like watercolour sketches and would be perfect to use with watercolour techniques. But as I said, the range of Australian stamps available was incredible, ranging from whimsical to cute to elegant. The Australian rubber stamping industry is really growing and this is great news for us Aussie stampers because we now have more choices. There were free demos throughout the whole two days of the convention as well as hands on demos and workshops. We had a few international guests and well known Australian rubber stamp artists conducting classes and demos. I had an opportunity to take a hands on demo with Maryse Carrier, designer and demonstrator for Magenta stamps. She came all the way out from Canada and showed us some wonderful Magenta magic. I couldn't believe how in just 20 minutes, I could make a stunning card using her techniques - it really is magic! I also took a two hour workshop with Karen Johnson of All Night Media who showed us the latest tips and techniques from the US, including stamping on velvet, stamping on modelling clay to make jewellery and the latest thing to hit Australian shores, scrapbooking. Karen makes the most unique jewellery and photo frames incorporating stamped images and her work was recently featured in the Artistry in Action page in Somerset Studio. Leigh Edwards from Limited Edition was there, showing us all the fun things to do with their really unique range of stamps (like mini scrapbooks and peek a boo stamps). Ellen Eadie was there and so was Jo Mansell, one of Australia's well-known mail art artist. I also met Julie van Oosten, the editor of TRG who is really nice (and I found out that her mum was from Penang, where I was born!). And I met fellow listees and their friends including Helen aka Daisy (who managed to talk her friends Christine and Di into coming down from Sydney to attend the RDU), Belinda aka Roxy, Berni (who is in the SST and came all the way from Qld), Susan Uncle and her mum Grace (who is known to quite a few Aussie stampers on the list because she has hosted several swaps). Do you remember Colleen, Susan's niece, who hosted the recent Horse Swap? Well, I met her and she is only 13! Cyndi, who is Colleen's younger sister (age 9) will be hosting a swap aoon. Isn't it great that these young stampers are really getting into swaps. There were so many great people to meet at the RDU (and everyone is so friendly), so many stamps to buy (BG) and so many things to learn - I had a ball. Sorry this is really long. I guess I just wanted to share with you everything I experienced at the convention. The next convention will be held in Brisbane and all you Queenslanders who couldn't make it down to Melbourne should really attend next year. You will love it!
