I'm back! It's been awhile since I've posted, but it's been a busy week! As most of you know, I was offering a huge special to help me earn the 2009 Stampin' Up! incentive trip to Hawaii. I want to thank each and every one of you that placed an order, showed the catalog around to your friends, and sent me words of support! It always amazes me how all of you get excited about sending ME on a trip! Anyway, because of you, I GOT THE TRIP and I will be on my way to HAWAII in March 2009!!!! Thank you!!!!
Today Stampin' Up! called me. I answered the phone, the person on the other end of the line asked if it was me, and when I said yes, a huge chorus in the background yelled "ALOHA!!!!". Now that was cool! I'm still grinning from ear to ear!.JPG)
Okay, back to business! The 2 cards I'm showing you today are the ones we did in my "Technique and Template" Stamp Club in April. We used the Chalkboard Technique, it's so easy, and I love the look! All you do is stamp your image with a White Craft Pad. While it's still wet, rub chalk over it and the color will stick to the white ink. You then rub the card stock with a Swiffer cloth to remove any excess chalk. On the card above, I then stamped the outline image over the top with more White Craft ink. The stamp set is called Wonderful You, and yes, it's wonderful!

On this card I used the Baroque Motifs set. First I stamped the swirly image, chalked it, then rubbed it with the Swiffer. Then I stamped the little flowers and added the chalk. By doing it that way, I didn't smudge the colors into one another. This technique is similar to the "Poppin' Pastels" technique, in which you use a VersaMark pad. I think this one just pops out a bit more with the white color underneath. Don't ya just love it?

Hi Sue,
Aloha! I am so happy for you, you truly deserve your spot in the sun. I just finished going through all my goodies, my buddies at work will have to wait until Monday to get theirs. Again, thank you for your generous special, it was great!

Hi Susan,
A new friend for me on the West Coast! Isn't blogging great! Thanks so much, and happy stamping!
Yes, I do think those cards are wonderful! And I am so happy you earned another SU! trip. I think you ought to start preparing scrapbook pages so you can scrap your trip next year lickety-split when you return home.
Gee June, apparently you didn't know I am now working on 2004 pages in my SU! scrapbook! Just a little behind... I think I should take your advice and work from the future and go back!
