I am a Lucky girl

I really am.  Along with everything that blesses my life on a daily basis with my family, I also have wonderful opportunities to work with some of the best products and people in the scrapbooking industry.  I sometimes forget that not everyone who wants to,  gets to be creative and artful at their jobs and I am so lucky have the opportunity to be one of those that does. 

Here's another preview of new product releasing at CHA.  Just look what Melissa Frances has done now... she has created some more clear stamps that I am so excited about!!! 

And did you notice that there is a chance for you to WIN those babies?!!  Melissa Frances has a new blog that just went live today(Sunday, February 10.)  Follow This link to the blog and enter to win all of them.  WOW, can you imagine how fun that would be?  I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! 

Here is a layout that I did with the Summer Breeze Stamp set.

* I used acrylic paints on the stamps to make my images.  Just water them down a little and really it's like doing a watercolor painting, only easier because the design is there for you.  Some of the images were stamped directly onto the paper first with Fluid Chalk ink, then I added the other layers by stamping onto a separate piece of cardstock, cut them out, then adhered them to the first layer of stamping.  Then I    added  some machine stitches and hand stitched swirls for more detail and depth. 

I also just remembered that I used 2 of the Frame It Stamps on my layout too.  Oh, I am so in love!! ;-)

So go -- go fast to the new Melissa Frances Blog and post for a chance to win the stamps.

Luck and love to all,  Linda
