Well, I got a new photo lighting mini studio to assist with taking a better picture.  Of course, you need to read the camera manual first, but who ever does that.  So, it's a mini studio with a backdrop and lights and everything.  It's really pretty cute, quite mini.  So here is my first photo in the light studio.  I used my new Stampin' Up! papers, Pacific Point and Baja Breeze and a new set.  The ribbon is not SU, but it matched nicely and I needed some pizzaz.  Hopefully the pictures of my creations will be more pleasing.  Now if I could get them all oriented correctly I'd be set.  

More Repeat Impressions Stamps

Here is another fun stamp from Repeat Impressions.  I used a resist technique by embossing first and then inking over image and the EP resists the ink.  I used a brayer and and old Kaleidacolor Ink Pad called Blue Breezes.  I used the new Fiskars border punch and a Cuttlebug Folder called Swiss Dots- one of my favorites.  I want to thank my friend JoAnn for letting me borrow all her UM's from Repeat Impressions.  Thanks JoAnn! 

sorry....again. Hero Arts owl stamp

More punishment

Okay, 3 times I tried to upload this picture, saving it right side up, upside down and it still does what it wants.  I really need help.  Is there a blog 101 I can sign up for.  I used almost all Ranger products for this "whitewashed" challenge.  My inkssentials white opaque pen, alcohol inks, bandana technique, distress inks, snow cap pigment inks and coredinations black magic paper for the mat.  I even used my Tim Holtz hammer to distress the brads.  Relax y'all.

Repeat Impressions Stamps

Okay, I am getting more frustrated and wasting more time.  I think I will call it a night and attempt to post the rest tomorrow.  I have wasted my entire night waiting for these to upload and I've lost any last bit of patience my children spared me.  More to come...later

Repeat Impressions Stamps

These sets are really cute, they have a stamp for the outside and the inside sentiment.  I made this one into a pull tab.  

Finding Inspiration

I am sorry about this sideways business.  I can't figure it out.  I have wasted about 2 hours now trying to figure this out to no avail.  I save it the correct way and sometimes it rotates by itself, so I change it to that way when I save and it moves again.  If anyone can help me figure this out, how to rotate after I have uploaded the picture, I'd sure appreciate it.  This blogging thing is not easy.  Don't let anyone fool you into thinking it is.
