Homemade Jam

I just got my Fruit Collage which was a special stamp set The Angel Company was offering during the month of June...my Mom picks wild raspberries and strawberries from a farm every summer and makes jars and jars of homemade jam. She is of that wonderful era that when she visits someone, she brings them a little something. And, if someone visits her house, they also leave with a little something. I can see making her some nice tags to decorate her jelly jars! But I couldn't wait to play with this set and I thought of this week's Friday Sketchers challenge right away. I spritzed the stamp and then colored directly to the rubber with watercolor crayons and then spritzed once more. I got two nice images from this technique without having to reink or respritz. The papers are an assortment of sale packages - the charcoal grey from Big Lots, the red from Costco My Minds Eye and the green from a Prisma cardstock package marked down at Michaels.

So...I got my catalogs today!! woot woot! I ended up having two cards published...that means I have a TON of rejects to show you in the following days but honestly, I think they are nice so be sure to stop back and see them (please!).

I have a card on page 71 and then this is the one I really liked that made it in!

The colors in the actual catalog look much better...between scanning, cropping and reposting, it's lost a bit of it's umpf! Perhaps if you click on it, it gets bigger. Thanks so much for visiting!!
