Projects with Shrubbery Stamps

Hello,
Karen McAlpine here on the Lost Coast Design blog with you today.  I have been working with Linda to make lots of samples using the fabulous line of LCD stamps.  I have two projects today that I created with the new stamp "Shrubbery".  This luscious large stamp is perfect for decorating large surfaces.  Take a look at how I used the stamp on a page from a mixed media paper pad ( 5.5" x 8.5 ").

I stamped on a background made with spray inks.  I used a little gold spray to add some glitter.
I made a second project that was cropped to make a smaller card
(5" x 6").

 

This stamp makes it easy to create an intricate looking project with minimal time.  The stamp would look great stamped on Kraft CS too.  Fun, fun, fun!  If you would like more pics and instructions, head over to my blog, Dreaming and Creating here:  Page; Card.
Glad you stopped by today.  I will be back later in the week with more projects! Take care.

Well, we've checked the website on 55 computers, and it only failed on 4. There is no corelation with the OS or the Browser. Deleting the cookies doesn't help, AND will delete any stored passwords, so I'm taking back that suggestion. I'll just have to hope that it eventually fixes itself. I've had an eye infection for a couple of weeks, which has severly effected my already-questionable vision. I went to Puyallup last weekend, and thought I'd packed 3 tablecloths, but when I got there, I had two tablecloths, and a black dress and blouse :-(

Fortunantly, Sheila (Heirloom Productions) had a spare purple plastic drape that I could borrow, so all was well LOL. Doesn't look too bad, eh?

If my website won't open with your browser, try deleting the cookies, re-boot and try again. I've also been told that going to your "visited pages" will bring it up. If anyone has other suggestions, please let me know.

I am getting reports this morning that my website is not opening on some Apple computers and iPads running Safari. I am looking into the problem, and will post a solution hopefully later today. The error says that there are too manmy re-directs.

Day before yesterday we had another freeze; yesterday was Springs, and today is Summer. I am not acclimating well.

This is probably the extent of our garden additions for the year -- blueberry bush, lavender bush, two little lavender trees, limequat and miniture orange trees. I love the teal and orange pots! Cosmos was aggreable to posing for a treat, but Batman preferred barking at the neighbos.

Latest page in my journal, finished at the Visual Journaling class at Marco's in Dayton last week. The face needs some work before I can print it as a greeting card, but I'm happy with the rest.

Back from Zeist late last night. I made this scarf on the way home. If I'd know how cold it would be in The Netherlands, I would have made the scarf on the way there.

I'll be leaving at dark-thirty tomorrow morning for the show in Zeist, The Netherlands, Creighton will be at the show here in Coeur d' Alene, Adrien will be at the show in Sacramento, some of my stamps will be at the Stamp Doctor booth in Allentown, PA, and Melinda will be at an art show in Pullman, WA. Why can't coordinators put the shows on different weekends? This is a logistic nightmare.
These are a few of the little shrine necklaces going to the art show (dog dishes not included).

Happy Easter everyone! It's another work day for us, getting ready for stamp shows in Holland, Sacramento and Spokane, and an art show in Spokane...all next weekend, but we took time to festively decorate the medical skeleton and Batman. I couldn't find Batman's bunny ears, but I told him it was Christmas and he was fine with the red and green collar. Such an amiable dog LOL

I've been trying to find the time to post some of my shrine necklaces that I've been making in the last couple of weeks. Well, that hasn't happened, but I had a reason to be poking around on my website today, and noticed that what I thought linked to a Die-Cut Diva Tutorial, instead went to a little video I made of an automatic toilet seat cleaner that I thought was very entertaining. This link has probably been wrong for MONTHS, and I'm very, VERY sorry.
