Weekend stamping

It is officially now winter in my book. The ground here has now been covered with snow for a few weeks. The temps are not too far below freezing so that makes for the worse conditions of the winter for us--when it is icy too. The streets are awful with the ice. I had a brief encounter on Friday when my 'ol body did not want to stop sliding and slowly lower itself as I tried to step into the street. Kind assistance was at hand but the ache of strain remains. I think my body is saying it is getting a tad older but I am refusing to believe it for a few weeks until it is more official--afterall I hear Jane Seymour is still dancing at this age LOL! But the good news is I sat and crafted for most of Saturday.

The Saturday Stampers challenge this week is a collage. I enjoy doing some freestyle collage work and don't have many collage stamps. However, I just purchased the new Hero Arts collage Christmas stamp...so I felt I had to get some ink on it. So this is my first card with it.

As part of the creative team over the Stamp Shack I have the assignment to post a technique challenge every first Friday. This week's challenge was a direct to paper background. I have been playing lots with the technique. Here is one of my samples.

Thanks for stopping by!...Jan
