My grandmother died of Hepatitis B - in 1979, just before they approved
a vaccine against it.  I had to get the gammaglobulin shot - not fun!!!
Ig that's the type, check to see if your daughter's been immunized for
it.

Subject: Magenta Swap Rec'd

Well now that I've kicked my hubby off the net - I can finally thank Karen
Haire for hosting the Magenta swap and describe the cards I received!  All of
them were really fantastic and, obviously, everyone put a lot of thought and
work into it!

First - from our creative hostess, Karen - the butterfly in the library.
 It's stamped with plum colored ink on white glossy paper; wings are
highlighted with plum market.  This was then mounted on a black deckle edged
PC and then layered on a plum colored card.  Simple and elegant - my favorite
kind!

From Elaine Normandy - I envy your patience!  This is awesome watercoloring
and I''m totally in awe of anyone who has the patience to do such wonderful
coloring.  It's a child on a horse - layered on a beige PC which is layered
on faux marble background PC  - all are mounted on a pale beige card.  Very,
very lovely!

From Paula Lowery - a "sampler" type stamp; 9 squares with birds, fruit, sun
and cow and colored with Prisma pencils on ivory cardstock and layered on
plum PC and sand colored cardstock.  Great complimentary colors and a
beautifully made card!

From Mona Everett - More layering (there can never be too much!) - sleeping
cat stamped with turquise ink and layered on shiny pink marble paper then
layered on navy linen cardstock.  I do love this KISS method - my favorite
method!

And, finally, from Sandy Kavanaugh - more layering (geez, I just realized
that all the cards were layered!  How great!).  This is really unique - frogs
in the swap with dragon flies stamped on green mulberry paper (I think).  I'm
still trying to figure out how those Canadians know what a swamp looks like!
 Anyway, this is layered on a black card, layered on a forest green
deckle-edged card and final layer is natural color cardstock.  The
dragonflies are highlighted with a holographic EP - gives a wonderful effect!

All of these cards were fantastic and left me wanting MORE Magenta stamps!
Thanks again, Karen, for hosting!  (And yes, I'll post triple embossing
instructions to the list! - watch for it.)

I have both the Marvy brush markers and the marvy duel tip Le
Plume's.  With the dual tips you can really get into some small
places. I've never bought Tombows although I've used them at stamp
classes. Someone told me Marvy's are acid free and Tombow's are not.
Has anyone else heard this?

Subject: Re: RS TAN: stamp credits

>I think it detracts from the card (and certainly remders unmailable) to
>have stamp company credits written on the card itself.

Why/how does it render a card unmailable?  Hallmark and such companies
often put copyright info on the back of their cards, any card with a
picture of a painting has those credits on the back, etc.  When I do swaps,
I print out a very small label with the name of the swap, my name, and the
stamps used--in 6 point type.  It generally comes out the size of a small
return address label.  I glue it on to the bottom left corner of the card,
and that's it. It certainly is not overwhelming and doesn't get in the way
at all.  I only started swapping recently, but already I am getting annoyed
when people don't put which stamps they used on the card.  Sometimes you
really like a stamp you see, but don't know which company makes it.  And I
like the idea of it being attached, so as not to mix up credits from
different cards.  But that, as they say, is just MHO.

All best--
Lisa

Don't know what that stuff is, but people use those clear and colored hair
gels for cards.  It's not cold to the touch, but otherwise it sounds like
what you're describing.

I heard on TV today that after all these centuries, horses still travel
at approximately 40 miles per day.  If they say it on TV it MUST be true.

Subject: Re: TAN: rmembering history

Ah memories... I'm old enough to vaguely remember the end of World War
II.  It wasw right around my 8th birthday.  I was visiting relatives in
Little Rock, ARK, and I was sitting on the lawn playing with the new doll
and cradle I received for my birthday, when cars when by honking horns
and yelling - "The war is over, the war is over."  I didn't truly
understand it, except that it meant my daddy would be coming home to stay
soon.

When JFK died, I was sitting in my kitchen sewing a dress for my baby who
was exactly 1 year two months old.  So, it had to be December 22.  The
other children came home from school and Rich from work, and we watch TV
for a week. Remember little JFK, Jr. saluting his father's casket?

The day the Challenger exploded, I had stayed home from work because I
was ill.  I was having a cup of very warm (ok, boiling hot) tea to try to
feel better and was watching the launch.  I didn't usually get to see a
launch due to working and so this was to be a treat for me.  Naturally,
like everyone else, I was shocked.  I spilled the tea onto my lap, and
didn't even notice the burn until later.

Subject: Magnet Swap Rec'd

This was my very first swap and I can honestly say that I was not
dissapointed!  Thanks to Jane Sifsof for hosting all the way from Alaska!

Jane sent a cute magnet with three laminated teapots and a teacup confetti
hanging off it.

Denise Pellonari made an adorable gumball machine filled with gumball
confetti!

Danesa Nicholson sent a gold embossed teacup filled with money - do you think
I can spend this at my RS store??????

StampinPooch did a great magent: a little gray cat holding onto a balloon for
dear life - on 3-D paper with more balloons under the 3-D.  Great idea!

Finally, one with no name made a magnet using postage stamps - some really
neat stamps, too!

Great swap, Jane - thanks for hosting!

Subject: RS: TRIPLE EMBOSSING TECHNIQUE (LONG-ISH)

Okay - you asked for it - the triple embossing technique.  I learned this in
a class I took from Catherine of Papers by Catherine during the Atlanta stamp
show last November.  It's so-o-o easy and gives a beautiful effect!  The
directions are straight off Catherine's printed directions.

Stamp image on cardstock and let dry thoroughly.  (Our ivory cardstock
creates results that look like antique porcelain.)  Use a heat tool to speed
up the process.  FABRICO Fabric Ink does not smear after drying so it is
suitable for this technique.  Dab on embossing ink [clear] with an applicator
top or small sponge.  (Do not drag the sponge or the ink on the stamped image
will smear.)  Sprinkle on clear embossing powder and heat to melt.  Let cool
and sponge on more ink.  This second time you sponge on more embossing, you
don't have to worry about smearing the image because it is sealed under the
melted powder.  Sprinkle on holographic or psychedelic powder and heat to
melt.  Let cool and repeat the embossing process a third time with clear
powder.  This third layer fills in all the uneven spaces and imparts a deep
gloss to your image.  Trim all around the embossed image with scissors or
paper cutter.  Mount the embossed image on a piece of cardstock cut from one
of our Recycled Postcards, only slightly larger than the image.  Use this
shiny element as the focal piece for your collage card, or add 2 or 3 more
layers of backing to it and use as jewelry.

Now - for my discoveries - Using a rainbow pad on the stamp gives a really
neat color effect under the embossing layers!  When I made the seashells,
they looked a little "bland" so after I cut the image out, I "rolled" the
edges on the clear embossing pad, then dusted the edges with gold EP and
melted it again.  Be careful when heating though - lay the image flat on your
table (preferably with some paper padding under it), then heat - DO NOT TOUCH
THE IMAGE UNTIL IT HAS DRIED AND COOLED COMPLETELY.  If you mess with it
before the gold has set, you'll smear everything!

Try this method - it is so easy and so fast and the results are amazing!

If you have the opportunity to take one of Catherine's classes (usually given
at a local store during the days of a stamp show/convention), be sure to sign
up.  We learned several great techniques and she showed LOTS of examples!  It
was great fun!  Oh, she and I also discovered that her husband and I
graduated from high school together - I came home afterwards and found his
picture in my yearbook!  Shows what a really small world we live in!

Have fun!
