Use Every Stamp 2013

I signed up for a free class at the Creative Classroom called "Use Every Stamp 2013".  You can read about it on this blog.   I've been trying to find a way to use my stamp collection more and I thought it might help.  Here's a couple of art journal pages I made in January that use stamps, as well as a bookmark:

Stamps by da Vinci and Tim Holtz

Stamps by Silver Crow, Autumn Leaves

Watercolor Pencil Crayons and Portfolio Pastels

Stamps by Stampington, Autumn Leaves and ???

Strip Ease

The July Challenge over at the GPP Street Team is Strip Ease, where you are encouraged to tear your paper or fabric into strips and attach to your page.

Although I enjoyed the tearing part, I made the mistake of gluing them all down and covering them with glossy acrylic medium, which restricted what I could do afterwards.  I'm not sure I like the way this came out, and I was very tempted to "Photoshop" it.  (Yeah, that's become a verb I think.)

But my kind and encouraging sister said it was perfect, so here it is!

Go on, give it a try!  I dare ya!
