Inner self

I know we all tend to scrap the important times on our lives- holidays- birthdays- graduation- vacations- family stuff.. but what about YOU? Do we take the time to scrap a moment in our lives about us? Not just ABOUT us.. but the moments about how we feel or what is going on. One of our design team members- ANN made this LO.. HOPE (click to see more). It was made during a time of so much happening in her personal life she needed to make this LO-- and those are her words-- "I needed to". She asked me about doing an inner part of herself when I originally asked her to do a page about her obsession or the object of her affection. I thought if she was willing to share a bit of it-- then yes. I think sharing this we can see that doing layouts like this is a healing thing or facing what is going on as well as a outlet for the creative side of us & what we do. So take a moment to think about doing a LO about YOU.. how you are at this moment in your life? Happy- out of balance - beautiful - lost -hopeful- wonderful - annoyed. We would love it if you would share the LO with us... then again we would understand if it's toooo personal. .which is a good thing. So give it a try! Ann thanks for the LO & sharing it with us. It's in the mail folks so you can come in & see it first hand in the store!

Shaving Cream

Colleen used this technique a while back in one of her classes. This is technique that has been around for awhile & used a lot by those who are a regular with either Close To My Heart or Stampin' Up. Give it a try.. it's easy & sooo much fun. You'll be hooked & the hubby will be out of shaving cream!



Supplies needed:

Shaving cream
2-3 Dye inkpad re-inkers
Wooden stick (or something like it to mix/stir with)
Container (We used a washed meat tray)
Cardstock
Paper towels



Step 1.

Fill your container with shaving cream and use your wooden stick to smooth it out a bit.


Step 2.

Add several drops of each of your re-inker colors to your shaving cream.

Step 3.

Mix shaving cream and re-inker in a swirling motion.
Step 4.

Continue to mix until you like the design/swirls you see.

Step 5.

Press your cardstock into the shaving cream. Make sure the card front is completely coated.

Step 6.

Pull cardstock out of the shaving cream.

Step 7. (optional)

Lay another piece of cardstock on top of your shaving cream covered one. Press together then pull apart, giving you two shaving cream coated pieces of cardstock.

Step 8.

Take a paper towel and wipe away the shaving cream in a swirling motion.

Step 9.

Let dry.

Step 10.

Finish your card/or use for background paper. Either layer an image on top or stamp directly onto the background for cards. You can also use this for matting your photos or background paper for scrapbooking! Have fun!
