Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
I am ecstatic to be your hostess for this part of the VSBN. I�ve never hosted an event like this, so I�m fairly new to all the bells and whistles, but I thought it would be fun to give it a try and I hope you like what I have in store for you�
Since this VSBN is �The Days of Our Lives� I would like to include you in some of the events that I routinely encounter every couple of years. Being a military wife and mom, it is my job to get us from place to place in one piece (with our sanity) and make our home �HOME�. During our career, we will have (and have had) several �New Homes�. So, in honor of that, I want you to scrapbook something �new� � be it a person, an object, a moment, a feeling; you name it.
But wait � there�s more! I also wanted to throw in a �new� technique that I think you�ll love as much as I do! In the first RAK that I received from Lela, I got some fabulous acrylic pieces. I had seen in a scrapbooking magazine awhile back (I believe it was Creating Keepsakes) about stamping on acrylic pieces, so I gave it a shot. I love it and how it turned out! So, that is my bonus challenge to you � stamp on some acrylic. Acrylics come in all shapes and sizes and if you don�t have any, I will accept clear buttons as a substitute. If you don�t have any Stazon ink, you can stamp with craft ink and emboss the piece. As a last resort, you can use rub-ons on the acrylics as well.
Good Morning! I am here! working on finishing up the 2nd challenge from last night! then on to see which one next!
Darcy! I don't know if I've congratulated you on your pregnancy yet! I haven't chatted in so long but Andrea told me you were pregnant. I'm so excited for you!
hmmm well, I'm going to have to forgo the acrylic part because I just don't have anything like that, not even clear buttons. But I'm sure I can find something new.

Thats fine - I wouldn't have acrylics either unless someone gave them to me

Wow! What a way to start off the challenge. I've avoided acrylic because I did not know what to do with it; a great challenge for me! Hopefully I'll find some to use in my stash...hopefully something came in a kit that I put aside ;-)

I think I'm going to try this with a page pebble. I've had them for E vah, and I've never known what to do with them. Ta da!!
Thanks for the challenge, Liz - what a cool idea! Gotta finish the page I'm on and think about it for a bit before I can start though. I'll see you in a few!

Ladies - if you are going to use Stazon ink to stamp with, stamp your image first with either VersaMark or another embossing ink pad before you stamp with the Stazon. This builds a barrier to the stamp so it doesn't stain your stamp so bad (since Stazon is permanent).
Didn't know if you knew that or not?

Something else you might have on hand that can be substituted for acrylic are transparencies, like the old overhead sheets we used to use, packaging from a new set of paper or a gadget that came in that awful hard plastic casing that's so hard to open. If you use bling, often that comes on thin pieces of acrylic. Just some ideas for those who are still drinking their coffee (like me!).
