Some Stuff Made At ACTSA Camp

This was one of the classes done at the recent ACTSA camp. We ALL made the same under instruction, so these are NOT my own ideas. That credit goes to Julie Van Oosten, our tutor for the weekend.

There is a lot of altered chipboard in use with all three of these cards. I enjoyed working with the colours especially as the colouring in all three really appeals to me.

Something different. What do you think?

Journal Book

Good morning everyone,

What a fine morning it is here in Canberra.

Today, I am sharing with you the journal we made at stamp camp over the weekend just gone. Julie Van Oosten from Collections was our very gracious tutor who kept us hopping all weekend. Us out of staters were given our very own little gift of Collections stuff for making the long trip to camp! Julie specialises in working with chipboard, ephemera and bibs and bobs to come up with the most stunning olde worlde projects.

This was our major project for the weekend and we sat up to midnight on Saturday night in order to finish it. I think it is pretty cool. I have just photoed some of the main pages in the journal to give you a feel for what we were playing with. What do you think?

I am going to become a retailer of Julie's as soon as I get the paperwork in order, as well :)

Life Legacy

Afternoon all,

This card was very hard to photograph. Seems I am selecting stuff with a challenge to it lately. Gave up trying to get my last alcohol ink one anywhere near viewable. Like so many others, I have to sit, read and implement the directions which come with my new camera. Sometimes, I wonder why we bother buying swishy stuff when we don't investigate all the great things that stuff can do...sigh!

I will come back in and edit in the credits a little later. I do not want to sit too long here as I will get waylaid...again...I want to stamp the drizzly old afternoon away.
