Announcing: Mini Album Mania!

I could not be more thrilled to announce the newest CD from the Technique Junkie Newsletter: Mini Album Mania. This CD is a collaboration between myself and Jane Bosi, and it contains 35 wonderful tutorials for creating fun Mini Albums! It is at a mini price, too: $14.95 for 35 tutorials. All with step-by-step pictures, great dimensions and creative samples! I am proud to feature the artwork of Jane Bosi, Shelly Hickox, Allie Gower, Nancy Dawson and Hetty Sanders.

You can order your CD right here:

The sample above is the Toe-Jammer album. Isn't it FUN? This is a great album to make after a beach vacation, to give to a hostess, and just plain as a conversation keepsake piece. This Album took me less than 3 hours to complete! Here are some more views of the album (click on any of the samples to make them bigger:

 This Cd was the most fun to work on out of any of the CDs we have done so far.  Hope you will consider joining us on our Mini Album Mania Adventure!

Blended Blotches Java

I needed to make a card representing the letter J -- and all I could think about was Java. It was actually the only word that I could think of using the letter J! While I was making it, I was thinking of Hetty Sanders the whole time -- she loves her coffee (we are kindred souls in that regard). So this morning, while sipping my own coffee, I thought I would share this card.

The background uses the Blended Blotches Technique from the April 2011 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. I layered that over a piece of Torn Paper Frames (December 2008 TJNL). That piece is layered on a piece of walnut colored paper that I LOVE. I made a wonderful discovery when I made this -- I used Paper Temptress Vintage Silver Lustre Paper and rubbed Distress Ink over it -- I have to tell you, this paper is exceptionally beautiful in real life. I will be coloring all my Lustre paper like that from now on!
