Just Random
You know...........I just don't know where the time goes...........
Anyway, a few randoms since my last post.
I went to a wonderful scrapbook event a couple of weeks ago and had an absolute awesome time. It was my first time attending Crop on the Cape and for sure, it will not be my last. It was beyond fabulous to see old scrap friends, visit and create with them and catch up. Of course I had my camera, but did I take any photos? No. I'm still not sure what happened there.
I got a few pages done, but only a few. I'm fine with that though, the visiting was so marvelous I was totally all right that the creating lagged a bit.
I've been shopping for summer flip flops and sandals and having some pretty good luck with that.
I'm loving guest designing over at Practical Scrappers - constant inspiration over there. This was from a tags on cards feature.
I actually created quite a bit throughout the month of March, but I've been bad about photographing and scanning my projects.
The flowers around the yard are finally blooming....
A friend of mine has a daughter getting married this coming Saturday and at the bridal shower last weekend, there was a toilet paper wedding dress contest. That was a first for me. Check out the winning dress
And oh!!! I finally discovered Facebook.................
Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by.

Just a Quick Tutorial
Hey all!!! I hope you enjoyed the Practical Scrappers' blog hop!!! Massive inspiration along the way for sure! And I'd like to shout out a huge thank you to everyone who commented here and became followers and also thanks to Practical Scrappers and Liz Qualman for the inspiration.
Anyway, did you want to Zing on a transparency? I was inspired to do this from a layout of Vee Jennings. Its a really fun technique and a great way to add a punch to your page. Its pretty easy to do, so here's a quick tutorial.
Grab your supplies..........
Versarmark Ink
Zing (or any embossing powder)
Stamps
Heat Gun
Acrylic Block
Transparency
My stamps are a little stained, so I apologize for that. Any recommendations on stamp cleaners? I currently use a Technique Tuesday one but it doesn't always seem to do the trick.
I used clear transparency sheets from Stampin Up. You can also try this on any other transparency pieces you may have in you stash. It makes a cool effect if you use one that already has a design on it, too.
Apply Versamark ink to the stamp and stamp you image on the transparency. Be careful, it can be slippery. Its a clear on clear image so it may be tough to see, but if you tilt it and hold it up to the light, you can see it.
Apply the Zing powder to the stamped image.
Tap off the extra powder, revealing just your stamped image.
And now the heat.........hold the heat gun at least six inches from the transparency and keep the gun moving a lot, it may take a little while for the powder to melt but you will get there.
The powder will start to become shiny and a deeper color.
Let the image cool for a few minutes.
Thats it, done!!
Cut out the transparency piece and create!
I went with a card for this one.
Give this a try!

Just Link With Love Blog Hop
Hello and welcome to the Practical Scrappers "Linking with Love" Blog Hop! I'm sure you agree that its always important to give credit where it is due to another crafter. That, is linking with love. And that is the Practical Scrappers blog hop!!
And here is my take on it.
Where Liz placed "live, love, laugh", I wet with a chipboard label holder - still totally hooked on Zing on transparency.
Take Note: some of the designers are providing prizes and Practical Scrappers is providing a prize for one person who becomes a follower at each stop (for all the details head over to Practical Scrappers).
All of the design team members used the same inspiration piece to create their projects and each designer will properly "Link with Love". The hop runs through Noon EST on Sunday, giving you lots of time to get through it.
Here is the inspiration piece, created by Liz Qualman from which we all drew our inspiration. At the end of the hop, you'll land on Liz's blog where she'll have a new sketch.
And here is my take on it.
I was drawn to the the way Liz placed her photo toward the left of the page, and loved the way the various elements surrounded three sides of it. It was from that where I drew my inspiration.
Where Liz placed "live, love, laugh", I wet with a chipboard label holder - still totally hooked on Zing on transparency.
Where she tagged, I tagged too.
And where she flowered, I zig zagged stiched.
