Technique Junkie Stampbooking Blog Hop!

Hi and welcome to the Technique Junkie Stampbooking Blog Hop! I was so excited to be invited to join the wonderful Technique Junkie design team as a Spotlight Designer for this hop. As you go from blog to blog, you will discover some fantastic techniques from the recently released TJ Stampbooking CD. The CD contains 75 inspiring techniques in PDF form. As you will see, these techniques are fun and versatile!

At the end of the hop, you will visit Jane Bosi's blog - it's her birthday today and she will be giving away one of the new Technique Junkie Stampbooking CDs. Make sure you leave a comment and give her lots of birthday wishes!

I chose to use the Glimmer Masking technique for my scrapbook page. I have to be totally honest with you....this is the first scrapbook page I've ever done. Two beautiful children and hundreds of photographs, but I've never gotten into scrapbooking. Who knows, maybe this will be the kick start that I need!

I snapped this picture of my daughter with my phone while she was sitting at the kitchen table, chatting with me. The light was so perfect I just had to capture the moment! To enhance the lovely Glimmer Masking, I embellished my page further with rubber stamped images from Tim Holtz (Papillion and Postcard collections). I also added a little Faux Enamel tag stamped with a sentiment from Tim Holtz's Stuff to Say stamp set. It's attached to the card with Idea-ology Charm Clips and  Long Fasteners.

If you've just joined the hop here, make sure you go to the Technique Junkie blog page and start from the beginning; you really don't want to miss any of the wonderful artwork from the TJ designers! If you're already on the tour, your next stop is at Beth Norman's inspiring blog - Sunflowers and Dragonflies. Enjoy!

Me!
Jane Bosi - the Birthday Girl!
