Joy's Creations: January 2014
http://maryjoysart.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 16, 2014. What's Wrong With This Picture? I used yet another page from the book as a background paper on a card. Similar to the one below. The chapter mentioned an autopsy in a morgue. It wasn't graphic or overly morbid so I didn't think twice about using it. However, when I glued my stamped image on the page most of the writing was covered up and what phrases remained uncovered, made it read like a steamy bedroom scene. Thankfully a well placed snowflake. Wednesday, January 15, 2014.

Joy's Creations: Think Outside the Stamp!
http://maryjoysart.blogspot.com/2014/01/think-outside-stamp.html
Wednesday, January 15, 2014. Think Outside the Stamp! I am a firm believer in thinking outside the stamp. I enjoy trying to mix and match my stamped images to create something new. Okay, enjoy may not be the correct word. Truthfully, my creativity usually comes out of sheer panic and desperation because I don't quite ever seem to have the exact image I want for the projects that I have planned out in my head, LOL. For instance, I found a darling card idea over at Splitcoaststampers that I wanted to CASE.

http://maryjoysart.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 20, 2009. Swap card -week #7:. Last week's swap card had to use stamping items that were new to us. I used a new clear stamp set that I found at Michael's and I used the new Spellbinder's Fleur del Lis Medallion die set to cut the tropical leaves. Swap card -week #8:. This is the last week of the card swap and the theme was "Friendship.". I had seen this card idea on the Hero Arts Flickr group several months back and had been dying to try it. I really enjoyed making this one!

"Joy it has been three years and you still haven't figured out how to clean the gunk off of your scanner? Well, I am happy to report that I purchased some glass cleaning wipes this week and will attempt to rectify this situation soon.

Joy's Creations: Envelope Art!
http://maryjoysart.blogspot.com/2013/04/envelope-art.html
Wednesday, April 17, 2013. We've swapped inchies, art dolls and chubby book pages. This year we are swapping envelope art! The theme for our first envelope was Spring. I took my inspiration from a lovely sugared egg that one of my swap partners sent me several years back. I printed the address on the lavender piece of card stock tucked inside the envelope. When pulled out, it reveals the hidden scene inside the egg. Your envelope was a work of art! April 19, 2013 at 7:27 PM. Lovin the Life I Color.
