What a wonderful surprise I had on Saturday, to get an email from my friend Patricia Dunbar saying:
"OMGoodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(her words!!) "Your "Arranged with Love" stamps are on "Scrapbook Memories" on PBS RIGHT NOW!"
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (my words!)
You can check the "Scrapbook Memories" site's program guide to find out when the full episodes will air again on PBS, OR you can watch the clip with just my stamps, RIGHT NOW (there is also one with "A Year of Flowers"!) from youtube! Here they are below, enjoy learning how to watercolor with glitter pens and how to make clear embellishments with transparencies, courtesy of Julie Fei-Fan Balzer!

Using "A Year of Flowers"
I am still so excited and honored that out of all the stamps out of there that could have been selected to show these techniques, they chose *mine* from Gina K Designs! So blessed!
Enjoy these tips and tricks from Julie Fei-Fan Balzer and download the pdfs to recreate these projects! Stardust Card

Thanks again Patricia for the heads up!! Made my week!
Would you like to win my upcoming stamp set from our next release? (Think Spring!) Help me spread the word by linking this post (you can also embed the video or pdf if you like) on your blog or Facebook account. Two entries if you post to both! Just come back here and leave the links back to your posts in the comments section, I will announce a winner next day! Thanks in advance!
Wow! Congrats, Mel. That's just par for the course. We knew this year would continue to be good to you. You are so deserving. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteCongrats my dear friend... you certainly deserved such recognition! I'm linking you on my blog. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhy am I not surprised! Your stamp art is *star* quality, Melanie. But this is truly awesome! Congratulations. I'll post to both my blog and FB. WTGG!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know I posted in both places about this especially since I had no idea it was such a lesser known technique. I've been using this technique for a couple years now (got hooked on it back when I used outline stickers alot) and it is my absolute favourite way to colour that stamp too!!
ReplyDeletePost on my blog is here http://stampingunderdoctorsorders.blogspot.com/2011/01/go-check-it-out-video-of-my-fave.html
