Modern Mosaic

Modern Mosaic


As promised, here is the January Stamp Of The Month Club projects using the Modern Mosaic stamp set.  I love that face that this set has a matching punch and a matching Textured Embossing Folder.  Yes, it even has matching Designer Series Paper, but you'll notice that I didn't use any of it for these designs.  The club girls tell me they like to when I do something unexpected, and they expected the DSP...so nope, I didn't use it!

 Above I used markers to color the punches mosaics
& part of the sentiment.

 It's hard to see in this picture, but I did use the 
Textured Embossing Folder on this card.  
The 9 larger mosaics are punched out and the smaller 
ones are stamped onto the textured card stock.

 When was the last time you used a Stamp-a-ma-jig?
I love using mine and it was perfect for this fun design.

FUN!  This one uses stamps & framelits from 
the Celebrate the Season catalog.

Until next time . . .

Feeding Stingrays at Stampin' Up! Managers Reception

Feeding Stingrays!

Just some fun pictures from the Manager’s Event at Leadership a few weeks ago.  I was able to feed some little stingrays a minnow.  It literally had my whole hand in it’s mouth.  It was gross…but kinda cool too.  It was like having my hand scrubbed with a sponge.  






We also had a short train ride that went through a tube where we had sharks swimming all around us.  I am terrified of sharks so I tried not to think about what would happen if the barrier broke.  Check out the teeth on the second picture....YIKES!!



 There was also a ton of food at this event, however, I had been sick and knew the rich yummies would not be a good idea for me.  Bummer.



The restaurant had a large aquarium in the center with several windows to look through.  The divers were fun...and liked to interact with us as we took photos.  






Until next time…
