Baaaaad Blogger!

Soooooo......I thought I was so clever to start planning some upcoming blog posts. Felt a bit of pride at my organized self.....

Then, I realized I haven't blogged since the beginning of December--shame!

Then, I realized I had been storing this awesome image from Stamp Camp---I'm so ashamed! LOL!!

When I met Mary from Stamp Camp in November at the Greater New York Stamp Show, I instantly fell in love with this vintage Father Timey image :)

I've paired the image with the Cuttlebug Highlights (TJNL October 2008) technique for a simple Christmas card (no, I didn't mail those either--someone is getting a good long talking to!)

On the last eve of 2011, my wish for you is safety, peace and love. Blessings, Friends! See you next year!

TTFN, Jane

Picture Perfect

I love this new technique from the Technique Junkie Newsletter!! It's called Picture Perfect--what a fabby idea!! You'll find it in the December 2011 edition--go check it out!

This beautiful bouquet was a long ago birthday gift from my friend, Lynn (Hi, Lynnie). It's been ages since that birthday AND, ages since I've seen Lynn, but she's never far from my heart. I remember being so touched by her thoughtful gift, I took a bizzillion pictures of the flowers. Doesn't this picture make the perfect card?

The verse is from Our Daily Bread Designs--a scripture I often draw upon :) I hope this easy technique helps to inspire you!

TTFN, Jane

Hoppin' That's Sweet N Sassy......

Happy Friday!! I hope you've enjoyed the week long Technique Junkie blog hop! Various members of the Junkie team have been joining up with some of our vendor companies, sharing inspiration from the 3D and Fun Folds CD! If you are first learning about the hop today, check out this post for all the details!

Today, we are teaming up the fantastic team at Sweet N Sassy Stamps! I've been in love with Every Day Miracles from the minute I saw it! I thought it would be the perfect compliment to the Map Fold Card technique.......(I'm about to show you...)

I really wish you could all just hop through cyber space and see this in real life. It was a little hard to get the full flavor of the card with my camera. My designer paper is actually an old world map. I tried to scatter the butterflies around the map......is that corny?

Anyway, I kept the card basically neutrual except for the splashes of color offered by the butterflies. It really pops in real life--trust!

The Map Fold Card intruigued me the minute I saw it on the 3D and Fun Folds index. The tutorial includes a wonderful folding schematic--it is fail proof!! Give it ago!

You should have started the hop over at the TJ Blog. If not, make sure to go back so as not to miss a thing!
