Personally, I LOVE this CAS card that was in your first post! I know that the color options now are just mind-blowing....I just bought 4 more colors of Dylusions sprays! I have some Lindy's Stamp Gang colors that I haven't even added water to yet. That's my biggest problem. I hope your medical future is bright and uncomplicated.

3rd Anniversary for Sparkle Tart Blog!
I've just had my 3 year Blog Anniversary - woohoo. I can't believe how things have grown and changed in such a short amount of time, the pace of things really surprises me some days. I'd had a web site before I moved over to my much loved TypePad blog, I found maintaining the site very time co...
It's a beautiful card, Leslie....wonderful colors of spring! The details of machine sewing--even zig-zag--and the trim add so much to the card.

A Flourishes Challenge
I’m playing in a challenge today. It’s something I don’t do often, but the stakes are high on this one. If I’m the lucky random winner it means Flourishes’ entire February release will be delivered to my doorstep. Fingers crossed! This is the Pick 1 Challenge. They give you a choice of t...
Hey Cherylynn....have you considered a blog tutorial for a technique now and then for those of us who can't attend your classes?

You Make Me Smile
As promised, here is a card I made for the Twinkling H2O class at Stampin Cat last weekend. It is a fun technique with always fun and varied results. I love it when you can't control the outcome, the "WOW" factor is much more amazing! I wish I could figure out how to get the shimmer to come thro...
I can tell from this post that you're back on the west side. I'm really sorry that you've left us, but I guess I can understand. Rod and I have adopted Cinco de Mayo as our 'go-to' restaurant now; you can take credit for introducing me to that great spot. I hope all is as well as it can be for you and Rob. I tried to e-mail, but.......

How I spent my Mother's Day
Life at the Moser household has been a bit busy lately to say the least (as evidenced by the lack of new postings on this blog!). So hubby and I decided to head over to Eastern Oregon for a quick weekend of R&R. I'm a Taurus, born in the year of the Ox. I'm am an Earth person. When life gets to ...
What a beautiful, feminine card! I have those HA stamps and have never used them very well. Also have never used the paste.

Fun with Embossing Paste
One of the classes at the Spring Fling coming up is using brass stencils so I've been having a lot of fun playing with mine and making samples to put on display. Here are two of them using the same stencil and the same sketch. This one is stunning in person. It uses one of Dreamweaver's newes...
Yummy colors here! I love Dreamweaver stencils and actually own two or three....which I never use. ;-)

More with stencils and paste
Today's card shows a technique we'll be doing in the workshop using Dreamweaver's mica pigment powders and embossing paste. I love the intensity of the colors when true pigment powders are used. The only problem is trying to take a good picture because of the shimmer of the mica! Stencil is...
Love everything about this card!

Wonders with White Cardstock
Since next weekend's Spring Fling 2010 is supposed to be a "Recession Proof" day where we use what we already own (and most likely have never used) I thought it would be fun to devote an entire class to transforming the one staple we all have: white cardstock! Here is one of the samples for the...
Wonderfully rich in color and shading. The Stickles are a good touch, too.

I'm lazy!
Today's card comes to you compliments of my LAZINESS! Yes, you read that right, I'm lazy. I'm always late. And I'm always have way more to do than time allows. Couple all those things together and you get today's card! You see when Stamps Happen came out with this series of stamps, I just HAD to...

Cherylynn!!! I thought I had lost you! I've kept a shortcut to your blog but quit checking it after awhile, obviously. Now I see several great creations. Please update me, if you will. I've been worried.

Hello Girlfriend
Its always easier for me to create a card if I have a recipient in mind. And today is no exception. Hopefully she'll know she was my inspiration was she sees this card! Starting with WHITE cardstock (remembering the theme) I cut and embossed a 1-1/8" Nestabilities square. (This isn...

Oh Corinne! It's so great! Is the background smooth? Is that how you were able to letter over it?

Sizzle! Pop! Wow!...
I pulled up one of the digital backgrounds I've been creating, printed it on my laser printer, and created this altered book spread with the inspiration of all that sizzling color! The paper doll theme of this book was perfect for the witchy dancer...altered from THESE which I got last Fall fro...
Beautiful, as always, Corinne! I especially love the colors and textures. Curious about the print on the cover. Is that printed paper, cardstock, .....???

Music To My Ears
This is a book I've done for one AB RR I'm in - it gets sent out to the world later today - have three more pending.... The cover has a double microsope slide mailer and images from Ten Two Studios. I coated the images with a one-step clear crackle coating. The slide mailer, inside and out, ...
