T Stands for Technique

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart:
try me, and know my thoughts:
²⁴ And see if there be any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalms 139:23-24

I thought I would share a technique I used today.  Our technique challenge on Splitcoaststampers was to watch a tutorial on 5 techniques to use up scraps.  I chose the one to cut up hexagons out of several of your scraps.  Even if your scrap was too little for the whole hexagon, you could use it around the edges.  I was happy with the scraps I found and how well they went together.   I even die cut the Happy Birthday three times and stacked it on here.  That was another technique, to die cut something more than twice and put on the card.  I need to get this in the mail tomorrow, because it is going overseas and is for a late January birthday.  Last time I mailed to this country it got there quicker than my Christmas card to Elizabeth one year; it took three weeks to across town!

I also posted VSBN (Virtual Scrapbook Night) Challenges on Splitcoaststampers this month.  They won't be for just one night though, they will be for all of January.  The challenges are all about the new as in the New Year.  One of the challenges was to scrap something about something new.  I chose to scrap about my new craft items from the swap.  As I showed you the gift last week, I thought you might like to see the scrap layout about the gift.

You might notice that I used the paper that was the wrapping on one of the gifts.  She had wrapped it in 12x12 scrapbook paper.  I used two tags on here that were in a package of tags 75% off at Hobby Lobby before Christmas.  I didn't need tags but for 2.53, they make great embellishments for Christmas themed layouts, and cards or junk journals. There were 60, with 4 of each of 15 designs.

My ticket is on my scrap layout!  Yes, it is time for TSFT party over at Altered Book Lover with Bleubeard & Elizabeth.  I hope you will check it out.  We really have fun every week visiting each other over a beverage. 

I hope you have a great week!  It is starting nice here, as I got in an hour's walk this afternoon.  It is windy, but nice, and sunny. Happy T Day!

 Thanks for stopping by.  See you next time.

T Stands for Tuesday & lots of caffeine!

"He has risen!"  Matt. 28:6

I am really feeling better today!  I even hit all the stores this morning, after I went to the dentist!  I went to Dollar Tree, Joann's, Hobby Lobby, Tuesday Morning, Bed Bath & Beyond, World Market, and Mardels.  I used some coupons at some of them.  I hadn't felt well enough to shop in so long, I made up for it today!  And I got all caffeined up, too!  I have a mug that I fill up with Kruegs at the dentist, you get samples at World Market & Mardels, and did you know my Bed Bath & Beyond has free Krugs coffee or tea.  So, I have had my caffeine for sure and definitely have my ticket to Elizabeth's T Stands For Tuesday tea party!

I wanted to show you how I used another one of my backgrounds I made last week.  Today we had two challenges at SplicoastStampers; one to use watercolor powders and one to make a masculine thank you card.  So this was my submission for the two challenges.

Watercolor paper, Real Red, Island Indio, Base is white from Recollections.

This is the panel and details of making of this panel from last week:

These are the two additional products I used on the card.  I die cut the sentiment with the Tim Holz die cut, and before I die cut it, I applied the Sizzix adhesive to the back of the card stock.  A lot easier to get it on the card, than trying to apply glue to the small sentiment.

Thank you for stopping by!  Happy T Day!
