Wood Words



Stamp of the Month Club
The club’s August Selection was
Wood Words

Today I am sharing the projects that the club members made last Saturday, August 5th.  All of the club members opted to increase their club to include the bundle with the Wood Crate Framelits this month.  Bundles are always a favorite optional choice with club members, if one is available.


This card was everyone's favorite.  Here's how I created the chicken wire effect.  



     First, take a dried out blender pen and re-ink it with VersaMark Refill.  I don't have photos of this part, however, the basic directions are to carefully pull out the two brush tips (careful not to crush them).  I placed both into a small dish and covered them in the refill, then placed them in a ziplock type bag over night.  before replacing the brush tips you can drop in a little of the refill into the barrel of the marker, but it won't take much because the refill liquid is rather thick.

     Using the 'Embossing pen' you just created, add the ink to the valleys of the Hexagon Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Place the Very Vanilla card stock into the folder and run it through the Big Shot Machine.  Remove the card stock and cover with silver embossing powder and heat.  This technique is different every time you do it.  


My sample was my favorite after making about 27 for a swap I was in.  No two looked a like, your's will look slightly different from my sample as well.

Here are the other projects the club members made this month.

Some club members have their stamp set and card kits mailed to their homes (Kits include at least 4 projects including  card stock and miscellaneous supplies with full color instructions).  Since being in the club includes the complete project directions, it's a nice to be able to stamp the projects at their leisure.  We would love to have you join in the fun!

Next month’s selection is:

Deck The Halls



MemoryINKers Monday
Christmas Catch-up



As promised, another scrapbook layout for Monday.  As you can see, my photos are from the 90’s and they are not the awesome new high-quality photos we can achieve today.  However, I do want to get some of my old pictures into layouts and most them are like these.  I am guessing that I am not alone with old style photos sitting in a box (or boxes in my case).  I have decided to just be brave and scrap them.  Maybe it’s harder to match the paper colors to the photos, or maybe the photos are faded.  It’s OK, the memories will be sharper if I get them into my albums, right?!!



I am using some the cool new Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the upcoming Holiday Catalog- available to you September 1st.  I love that as a demonstrator I can preorder and play with products ahead of time.  Not just because I like to have it FAST but also so that I can have projects prepared to share with all of you

My lighting couldn’t capture the photos without a bit of glare but my daughters face is not faded into nothingness on the original. I wish I could remember what made my son so emotional, but I didn’t write it down {gasp!}.  However, I know that each year as my kids decorated the tree they would reminisce on years past.  Some years were more tender than others.



This page uses the same DSP but also the NEW Stitched Felt Embellishments, also coming out on September 1st.   oooh! I can’t wait for you to see all the cool new products!

Although I did these pages individually, I believe they would work as a two-pages spread as well.




I hope you will have courage with me and get those old photos out of the box and onto a page!

If you’d like the option of getting them first as well, check out the details by clicking the link “Join the MemoryINKers team on the right side of this blog. Or, if you’d like a copy of the new catalog let me know. I can get one out to you, or you can pick one up, today!

Until Next time . . .
