All of them were really fantastic and, obviously, everyone put a lot of thought and work into it! First - from our creative hostess, Karen - the butterfly in the library. It's stamped with plum colored ink on white glossy paper; wings are highlighted with plum market. This was then mounted on a black deckle edged PC and then layered on a plum colored card. Simple and elegant - my favorite kind! From Elaine Normandy - I envy your patience! This is awesome watercoloring and I''m totally in awe of anyone who has the patience to do such wonderful coloring. It's a child on a horse - layered on a beige PC which is layered on faux marble background PC - all are mounted on a pale beige card. Very, very lovely! From Paula Lowery - a "sampler" type stamp; 9 squares with birds, fruit, sun and cow and colored with Prisma pencils on ivory cardstock and layered on plum PC and sand colored cardstock. Great complimentary colors and a beautifully made card! From Mona Everett - More layering (there can never be too much!) - sleeping cat stamped with turquise ink and layered on shiny pink marble paper then layered on navy linen cardstock. I do love this KISS method - my favorite method! And, finally, from Sandy Kavanaugh - more layering (geez, I just realized that all the cards were layered! How great!). This is really unique - frogs in the swap with dragon flies stamped on green mulberry paper (I think). I'm still trying to figure out how those Canadians know what a swamp looks like! Anyway, this is layered on a black card, layered on a forest green deckle-edged card and final layer is natural color cardstock. The dragonflies are highlighted with a holographic EP - gives a wonderful effect! All of these cards were fantastic and left me wanting MORE Magenta stamps! Thanks again, Karen, for hosting! (And yes, I'll post triple embossing instructions to the list! - watch for it.)

Why/how does it render a card unmailable? Hallmark and such companies often put copyright info on the back of their cards, any card with a picture of a painting has those credits on the back, etc. When I do swaps, I print out a very small label with the name of the swap, my name, and the stamps used--in 6 point type. It generally comes out the size of a small return address label. I glue it on to the bottom left corner of the card, and that's it. It certainly is not overwhelming and doesn't get in the way at all. I only started swapping recently, but already I am getting annoyed when people don't put which stamps they used on the card. Sometimes you really like a stamp you see, but don't know which company makes it. And I like the idea of it being attached, so as not to mix up credits from different cards. But that, as they say, is just MHO.

I'm old enough to vaguely remember the end of World War II. It wasw right around my 8th birthday. I was visiting relatives in Little Rock, ARK, and I was sitting on the lawn playing with the new doll and cradle I received for my birthday, when cars when by honking horns and yelling - "The war is over, the war is over." I didn't truly understand it, except that it meant my daddy would be coming home to stay soon. When JFK died, I was sitting in my kitchen sewing a dress for my baby who was exactly 1 year two months old. So, it had to be December 22. The other children came home from school and Rich from work, and we watch TV for a week. Remember little JFK, Jr. saluting his father's casket? The day the Challenger exploded, I had stayed home from work because I was ill. I was having a cup of very warm (ok, boiling hot) tea to try to feel better and was watching the launch. I didn't usually get to see a launch due to working and so this was to be a treat for me. Naturally, like everyone else, I was shocked. I spilled the tea onto my lap, and didn't even notice the burn until later. StamPatti, vsa & vsr Computers are life. Rubberstamping is art.

Thanks to Jane Sifsof for hosting all the way from Alaska! Jane sent a cute magnet with three laminated teapots and a teacup confetti hanging off it. Denise Pellonari made an adorable gumball machine filled with gumball confetti! Danesa Nicholson sent a gold embossed teacup filled with money - do you think I can spend this at my RS store?????? StampinPooch did a great magent: a little gray cat holding onto a balloon for dear life - on 3-D paper with more balloons under the 3-D. Great idea!

I learned this in a class I took from Catherine of Papers by Catherine during the Atlanta stamp show last November. It's so-o-o easy and gives a beautiful effect! The directions are straight off Catherine's printed directions. Stamp image on cardstock and let dry thoroughly. (Our ivory cardstock creates results that look like antique porcelain.) Use a heat tool to speed up the process. FABRICO Fabric Ink does not smear after drying so it is suitable for this technique. Dab on embossing ink [clear] with an applicator top or small sponge. (Do not drag the sponge or the ink on the stamped image will smear.) Sprinkle on clear embossing powder and heat to melt. Let cool and sponge on more ink. This second time you sponge on more embossing, you don't have to worry about smearing the image because it is sealed under the melted powder. Sprinkle on holographic or psychedelic powder and heat to melt. Let cool and repeat the embossing process a third time with clear powder. This third layer fills in all the uneven spaces and imparts a deep gloss to your image. Trim all around the embossed image with scissors or paper cutter. Mount the embossed image on a piece of cardstock cut from one of our Recycled Postcards, only slightly larger than the image. Use this shiny element as the focal piece for your collage card, or add 2 or 3 more layers of backing to it and use as jewelry. Now - for my discoveries - Using a rainbow pad on the stamp gives a really neat color effect under the embossing layers! When I made the seashells, they looked a little "bland" so after I cut the image out, I "rolled" the edges on the clear embossing pad, then dusted the edges with gold EP and melted it again. Be careful when heating though - lay the image flat on your table (preferably with some paper padding under it), then heat - DO NOT TOUCH THE IMAGE UNTIL IT HAS DRIED AND COOLED COMPLETELY. If you mess with it before the gold has set, you'll smear everything! Try this method - it is so easy and so fast and the results are amazing! If you have the opportunity to take one of Catherine's classes (usually given at a local store during the days of a stamp show/convention), be sure to sign up. We learned several great techniques and she showed LOTS of examples! It was great fun! Oh, she and I also discovered that her husband and I graduated from high school together - I came home afterwards and found his picture in my yearbook! Shows what a really small world we live in! Have fun!
