I blogged! ...for Picjoy

What's up?

How are you?

I've been up to lots of things this summer but at the same time it feels like I've been up to nothing.  Do you know that feeling?

Anyway...

I blogged:  Photo Apps You'll Love

It's for a new FANTASTIC app called Picjoy.

I take sooooooooo many pictures with my phone and when I'm ready to scrapbook I have a hard time finding the images I want.  It seems like I scroll and scroll and scroll on my phone looking for just the right image.  Was it this summer or last?  Was it this pool trip or that pool trip.  Picjoy has solved my photo organizational woes.  Download this free app today and see if it solves yours.  

This app is so new and updates keep coming out making the app better and better.  I'm so excited to see what this app will do next but I'm SUPER impressed with what it's doing for me now.  

Let me know what you think!  Download this app today in the app store.  Android users?  Picjoy will be available for you in the next month or two.  Yippee!!

Stick around, my love affair with Picjoy has just begun.

i made this | july '14

 

Were you lucky enough to see these samples I made IN PERSON??  Some of the samples were hard to find, ie, they were not actually AT Convention but at the Home Office.  Never fear, I'll be posting everything I created (yep, me, I actually made these, with my own hands - just in case you were wondering) so you can see them up close and personal without having to look around someone's giant poofy hair.

I hope you enjoy my samples.  You made it!  This is the last of my 24 samples!  If you missed any of them, just click on the Pinterest board to see everything again.

Why?

Because I love them.
And you.
Thanks for looking!

There were 29 Display Stampers this year so the easiest way to see all of our projects (you know, so you know who made what awesome project) is to go to our board in Pinterest.  Come follow us!

Now you can feel like you were at Convention!  Well, at least you can pretend you saw all the inspiration boards.  Honestly, I didn't even see all the projects that are on the Pinterest board.  The projects must have been hidden somewhere.

Quite the Pear | AWW

Welcome to the 2014 *February* edition of the Wednesday Artisan Blog Hop.  Check back every Wednesday to see new projects that all 10 of the Stampin' Up! Artisans have created.

I'm still grooving on the new Mini Catalog?  Are you??

GORGEOUS.

I am in LOVE with hybrid craft projects in any form.  How about a Scrapcard?

Yeah, I said it.

Scrapcard.

To get the look of the faux metal on the polaroid die cut, I cut the image out of Basic Gray cardstock and then used the direct ink to paper technique.

Lay your paper on some scratch paper, then lightly blot your inkpad on top of the paper.  Repeat the blotting until you get the desired coverage.

Don't press too hard with your ink pad.  Since it's like a sponge, if you press too hard, you'll get a lovely rectangle of ink instead of just on the raised/embossed images.

Practice if you're scared.

Where did I get my gorgeous Coastal Cabana pear?  Since there isn't a download available for the Quite the Pair images (yet) I had to get a little creative.  I took a screenshot of the stamped image, put it into some photo editing software I have, erased the words and background, then plopped it into my Silhouette Designer Edition software.  From there I could trace the pear and cut it out.

GENIUS?

I thought so too.

I love the look of distressed stamping.  The way I achieve this look is to only ink parts of the stamp so that it looks like the image is already faded and distressed.  See?
