Another Dustin Pike card

Here is another Dustin Pike digi stamp card that I did. The bug in the background is from Betsy The Beekeeper (Stampin' Up!). I am going to send him along with the Dudley dragon cards for a swap I joined. Yup... took two spots, but I love Dustin Pike. (Thanks Jennifer K. for turning me onto him and digi stamps!).

Snowed in is great!

Being snowed in is a good thing and a bad thing. Good thing is, I am all warm and snuggly. Bad thing is, I had to shovel 1' of snow earlier and now it looks like I hadn't touched it at all. Another good thing is STAMPING!!! YEAH!!! LOVE to stamp and now I'm getting into "Digi Stamps".

I found on the cricut.com website under community, a gal that is hosting a "Dustin Pike" swap. http://dustinpike.blogspot.com/ . I ABSOLUTELY LOVE his artwork. If you are into cutsie and love fun things, this is the site to visit. So here is my card for the swap;

Close up of Dudley-ette; (I flocked the peep... so cute!)

Card in its entirety;

And Rich has a co-worker that is kinda freaky about aliens. So I found this digital art from http://www.talonartstamps.com/Alienspage7.html

April's Technique CLub

Lots of fun as usual at April's Technique card class http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/mystampplace/about .

This is called Acetate & Tissue. I do have to say, you need gloves and this is messy;
I am going to have to do this again. This is called Cracked Glass. LOVE IT!! A bit messy, the UTEE goes everywhere....

Acrylic Smash. Not as messy... but really neat.

If you are interested in learning more techniques or want to join a stamp club, contact April on her website; http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/mystampplace/about
