Mosaic Madness

 
Hi Stampers!
Today's card uses the brand new Mosaic Madness stamp set!  And madness it is! This is the trendy new look for this year, and people everywhere are into Mosaics!

The Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder was used for the background, on Strawberry Slush cardstock (also new!)  I stamped the images in Chocolate Chip and  Strawberry Slush, and punched them out with the new Mosaic Punch! So easy! The base cardstock is Sahara Sand.

I also punched a window through the front of the card, and place a strip of the Mosaic window sheet that is included in the Quatrefancy Specialty Designer Paper over top. 

Don't you just love mosaics?

P.S. If you want to get a 15% discount, you can get the Mosaic Madness Bundle (includes the Modern Mosaic stamp set and Mosaic Punch)

Hybrid Scrapbook Page

Here's a scrapbook page that I made using both Digital Scrapbooking, and Traditional Scrapbooking. This method is called Hybrid Scrapbooking. It makes the process so much faster, still gives you texture and dimension, and makes alot less waste!

I made the photo part on My Digital Studio (#118108 $106.95), and printed it onto 81/2 X  11 white cardstock on my home printer. You can view a video I made for creating this page on my YouTube channel here.

Then I added some stamped images and some embellishements.

The colors I used are: Chocolate Chip, Soft Suede, and Whisper White. And the stamp set was "I heart Hearts". To make the large letters, I cut those our with the Simple Alphabet Dies on my Big Shot. All materials Stampin' Up.

I hope this inspires you to try Hybrid Scrapbooking!

happy creating!

Haitian Relief

I just received this note from Stampin Up, and wanted to pass it along to you....

Haitian Disaster Relief
January 21, 2010

Stampin′ Up! demonstrators have a long history of making a difference in the lives of others--especially when disaster strikes and the need is greatest. So it was not surprising that so many demonstrators have contacted us in the past week asking what the plan is for helping to provide relief for those who continue to suffer from the effects of the earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12.

Here is what we are going to do:

From now until February 28, 2010, $2 from every I {Heart} Hearts stamp set purchased will be donated to American Red Cross’ Haiti Relief and Development Fund. The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need.

Product Name	Item #	Price
I {Heart} Hearts – clear-mount  (block D recommended)	118571	$24.95
I {Heart} Hearts – wood-mount	117010	$35.95

This is a simple and straightforward plan; the more stamp sets we sell, the greater the difference you make. Often it is the simplest plans that work best!

To help out with this fundraiser for Haiti, you can place an order online thru my website at www.stampinwithjoann.stampinup.net (click Shop Now) or you can email me at stampinwithjoann@shaw.ca. Stampin' Up will send us a total of money raised at the end of February, and I will share that total with you! Help us make a difference, and you'll enjoy some creativity at the same time!

Here is the "I {Heart} Hearts" stamp set. It also co-ordinates with the Trio Heart Punch! 

Place your order today, and help me help Haiti.

 

Digital Scrapbook page!
