Hi, Ladies, looks like I was able to resolve things and will be getting all of our flowers early next week. The first shipment will hopefully arrive tomorrow (*fingers double crossed*)when they come, I will be able to send all of the group 1 swaps out ! j
it looks like we are getting the press n' petals and daisies early next week.

I have an extra 12 bags of assorted primas- hydrangaes, got flowers (studio 24), quick pick essentials 2 (see pics) etc. and would like to sell them for $34 (plus shipping). you will get the equivalent to 4 containers of assorted primas in a bag. Let me know if you are interested or know someone who is. thanks again for joining my swap. I will be listing a dotted organdy and gingham ribbon swap shortly- trying to get pics from the supplier.

Versamark: the Versatile Ink

Versamark is an essential tool for every cardmaker and scrapbooker. It is on my top 10 list of must haves.... here are just some of the uses:

*Just stamp and emboss with coloured embossing powder or clear powder for a see through shine
*It is great for watermarked backgrounds, it will show as a deeper shade of the colour you stamp on, making a subtle background on any colour. For every colour of paper you own, you know have a complimentary ink :)
*Poppin' Pastels: stamp images on paper with your versamark and now dauber pastels over the image and it will cling to the versamark. It provides a soft shadowy image.
*Pulling Pastels: on darker card stock, rub pastels across page, now stamp versamark over the images and it will pull the pastels off where you versamarked!
*Use to make a shadow for your words. Stamp your original image in ink (the kaleidocolour pads look super!) now restamp the word using versamark and because you will be slightly off, you now have a watermarked shadow. Take it one step further and emboss it with clear or hologram embossing powder.
*Brayered resist: stamp the image on cardstock using your versamark. Leave to dry for a few minutes... now brayer your ink over the image. (again, kaleidocolour works very well!) The ink will resist the versamarked image..... This works well on matte cardstock and even better on glossy
*Versamark and 2 step stamping- stamp the first image in veramark and the second image in encore metallic ink. this looks great on burgundy and navy cardstock!
*use to create subtle lines for your journaling

Yoohoo.....

So, I received some freebies from Maria
thanks :) If you have a blog, she will send
you free samples of UHU glue. I got an
adhesive roller and some photo glue.
As soon as I have time to stamp a bit, I will
be posting my review! Thanks again~ I
love freebies!
