How-To Video: Enhancing Stamped Backgrounds (and links!)

Happy Wednesday!  And it is an extra special one for me – I get to go tomorrow to Cornerstone!  This time, I get to go with Jana and my mom.  We will have such fun together.

I thought I would link ya all up to a video I have over on the Hero Arts blog.  Click HERE to see all the info.

Here are some links for you for tonight:

  • Great page by Vicki Boutin HERE.
  • Mary Macaskill is a scrapbooking goddess.  Wow.  Lovin’ the Outtakes page HERE.
  • That Jen Gallacher is amazing.  She is even great at digital – HERE.
  • THIS Pebbles line looks yummy.  I always like their easy-to-use bright papers.
  • Different gear: Does your area have a Recyle Bank program?  Ours does, and I have earned such fabulous things just by recycling.  Discounts at Target, Boden, etc.  What a great thing.
  • Caardvarks had a great shaped challenge – such FUN ideas!  Can you say amazing?
  • THIS is STILL my favorite purchase in a long time.
  • Anyone use THIS stuff yet?  Curious to try it.

On a oh-so-very happy note: The girls summer starts in 9 days.  Or, for Colin: 8 more “sleeps.”  We are all very excited.  When the 5 of us are together, everything seems right in the world.  And louder.  Ha.

Do any of you watch Deadliest Catch?  I am not getting into it this seaons.  Not sure why?

Night!

    Jennifer,
    Have a great time at Cornerstone! I just sent a request for RecyleBank…I’m hoping they’ll come to Loveland. My husband and I were just saying we wished Rumpke gave recycle bins as big as the garbage bin!

    Beautiful card! Thanks for all the wonderful links lately (here and twitter) I love them. What is Cornerstone? I hope you have fun…whatever it is! :)
    As for deadliest catch…I used to try to watch it…but 2 people I love very much work on fishing boats off the coast of Alaska and I keep holding my breath praying I don’t see them. It scares me way too much.

    Off to get my daily hero dose! THANKS! :)

    Awesome tutorial Jen. thanks so much. I can’t wait to try it. Your cards always looks so difficult, but with your help, they are do-able for us less talented folk.

    beautiful card and great video Jennifer, thanks!!!
    My husband and son watch the deadliest catch, I do sometimes, but to be honest i get nervous. They DVR’d it to watch it when my Dh gets home!

    Hi there,
    Know what, this year’s episodes of Deadliest Catch are kinda hard to “get into”.

    I think it’s partly because of the first episode with the boat sinking, and then bad fishing, they just don’t seem “themselves”.

    We still look forward to watching it every week, but you are right, it’s just not the same.

    BTW, love your blog. I check it almost every day.

    Cute Card. Your last sneak peek was for Flower Soft. I’m starting to get addicted to that stuff. The ivory looks great on a stamped dandelion.

    Hi Jennifer, what camera do you use to shoot your videos?
    Thank you!

    This is a cool way to use this stamp and emboss the card. Really great idea!!!

    Oh, I am so happy the girls are coming home. I am sure you will have a great summer. Your sleeps equal, our sunshine when counting days.

    Love the recyle bank!!! I am going to check into this. We really do a lot we do not use a gas mower and Bill’s car is a flex car.

    I loved the other links too! Pebbles paper is cute looking.

    Thanks

    I love Deadliest Catch!
    But I haven’t seen a lot this season either.
    I am thinking we could be great tv pals……we love a lot of the same shows. Your the first person aside from my husband who I know watches Deadliest Catch. :-)

    Great card Jennifer, love the idea of colouring the pearls – they look really classy!

    I love Deadliest Catch, but I’ve missed most episodes this season. I love some of the old grizzled captains. They’re my favorites!! LOL!

    We love Deadliest Catch in my house but are waiting for the new season to start in New Zealand.
