This is my older sassy big (LOL) sister...who is 5 years older than I am, and about 6.5" shorter than I am!!!  When our mom was pregnant with me, all Allison wanted for her birthday was a "sister baby" and a birthday party! She ended up with both that year!   Her birthday is on the 12th (mine on the 2nd)...and after seeing some of the amazing projects here with using stamps, I had to pull out some and play!  I wanted to create a one of a kind magnet for her to put on her fridge!  I can't wait for her to see it because I love how it turned out!!!    Supplies used: Creative PaperClay Xacto knife Basket stamp by CTMH Flower and leaf mold Paint of your choice (I used Radiant Pearls Paint) Hot glue gun Heavy cardstock for base (scraps are fine)   To start with - I am not going to give you directions for how to stamp on the clay - there are GREAT projects prior to mine on this blog...

Well, hello to all the Curls and Grins peeps, I am excited to bring you my very first project today!  A little about me first - and then on to my fun projects!  My name is Lynda Jeffs, born and raised in the Salt Lake City, Utah area 49 years ago today - but have lived in 4 different states in 5 years now!  I am a mom of 3, step mom to 5 - and step grandma to 7 almost 8 awesome kids!  I have stamped for 22 years now, and scrapbooked for about 14 years!  I also love to alter - A LOT!!!  So, now that you know a bit about me - lets get started on today's project!  One thing I like is two sided cardstock - THIS paper is absolutely everything I could ask for and more!  With this first card above - I used two different patterned papers, for the background's - added the saying, matted twice - and the same color of balloons for the top of the card!  Love how this one turned out!         ...
