I recently saw this new video and just had to share it on my blog. I LOVE this song by Paul McCartney and am mesmorized by the video-so simple yet very effective. Would love to hear your comments!

I made these cards for one of the classes that I taught recently at Rock Paper Scissors. I taught three basic stamping techniques using beautiful Spring colors. The first card was very basic and showed the artsy gals how to use acrylic stamps and the versatility of them. I LOVE this layout as it is perfect for your scraps. Your scraps of paper don’t even need to match totally. You can use a simple solid background (like black card stock) which will pull the scraps of patterned paper together.
On this card, we learned how to do masking. We did a mask of that center image and then stamped over it with a large script background stamp from Stampin’ Up! I had one of those fortunate accidents-I was stamping on a surface that wasn’t quite even. The stamp didn’t stamp in the center and I LOVE how it turned out. It is definitely one of those things that I couldn’t do on purpose!
The last card is stamping off or as some people call it (Hi Michele) Second Generation. It is when you ink your stamp and stamp it once with full ink and then another time without inking it again. Your second image is lighter than the first and creates a really nice (yet simple) distressed look. I love doing this technique when I am stamping flowers like the third card. The flowers in that card are actually a dark green-they look black in the picture.

The weather has certainly changed since I made these pages! The first layout is a few pictures from one of the days from last Winter when the NYC Department of Education had school even though the city was covered in tons of snow. I walked and took the train but made it! I snapped a few pictures along the way.
My second page is of one of my favorite gals! My sweet little niece, Elise, is so much fun to scrapbook. I wasn’t actually with her for this snowy fun but stealing borrowing pictures from Facebook and other websites is so easy! When I received these goodies to create pages for Rock Paper Scissors, I knew I needed some super cute snow pictures. I have been teaching beginner scrapbooking classes at the store. I love showing people how easy it is to get started. We have been using PageMaps as a starting point-that is what seems to overwhelm people…how in the world to begin? I have been scrapbooking since 1998 and still use my favorite Close To My Heart idea books to get my layout ideas. So, grab whatever inspires you and get scrappin’!
LOVE those stamps from Claudine Hellmuth! Here I used them for a fun glittery art journal page. This was one of those times when I had no plan when I sat down to create. I grabbed my paints and these stamps and just let it happen. I loved how it turned out and wish that I had done a few 12X12 versions of this to use on my scrapbook pages. Lesson learned.
