Ok Gabrielle, this is for you!

Here is the proper way to use those acrylic stamps. This is NOT my tutorial! Original found @ http://www.acherryontop.com/article?a=801, and will be full, mine is just a tiny portion for your sake!

It's fairly easy to stick them to your acrylic block, and stamp away. But, if you need a more custom placement. Let's say you want to follow a curve or another shape on your layout or card, try this:

Place your stamps face down on the card or layout in the postion you desire.

THEN, take your acrylic block and place that over the stamps, push down. When you pull the block up, the stamps will be in the exact position you wanted.

Ink your stamp. To get the best ink coverage, rock your stamp back and forth over the ink pad rather than pushing the stamp directly into it.

Check the image to ensure adequate coverage.

Stamp.

When stamping, apply even pressure.


Ok? So don't do that other thing you were doing with them, you might ruin them, and that would suck! Oh yeah, Studio G, and a few others who sell $1 stamps, sell the acrylic blocks for $1, also, they are just really small, but perfect for the $1 stamps. If you are using bigger stamps, invest in a bigger stamp block, or just use the back of a CD case. :) Click on the link at the top to read the full tutorial.

I made another one!

Woo Hoo! Here ya'll go, an oldie and a goodie! Make a layout of your favorite "Game Boy" (or game girl!). Don't forget to show me what you made! I'm pretty excited about this one, myself, since DH is a HUGE gamer! This is a set of SVGs, for SCAL, of course! Includes logo, but all seperate.



It's Mario!

What a month!

Well, where to begin? How about- I am currently jobless. Yeah, it really sucks. My boss let us have the bad news 2 DAYS before he closed the store down. All 10 of us, left out to dry. Really sucked. But hey, since I didn't have to quit, I maintained MY loyalty, and I have a job coming up in August. In the meantime, I have gone up to the school and am going to be going back soon, to be a teacher. I have also started going back to karate. Tonight was my second night, and HOLY CRAP, I am hurting!

Ok, I'll stop rambling, cuz I'm pretty tired, but wanted to get this pretty little file posted for you, so here it is. A MUCH BETTER Care Bear than the ones I posted before- an SVG, for SCAL, of course. So, without further ado, here is Bedtime Bear.
