I am branching out from my cards and doing a little tile stamping. These were my first 3 attempts. I learned one thing, I really don't like acrylic stamps from a certain company that will remain nameless. I wish I had not purchased 4 sets from them last year but I loved the images so much, I jumped right in, I won't do that again. I would be referring to the Bethlehem image. I just have had no luck with these stamps no matter what kind of ink I use, how much or how little pressure I use and no matter what I am stamping on, they just don't work. My next problem is getting a good image of my projects. I tried photos of my cards when I first started with no luck, so then I got a scanner and that does ok if I make a flat card but when it has raised embellishments on it, the scanner does not do well either. Kelly, if only you lived close to me (check out her blog, she is great). Now, I am back to trying to photograph them. So, when I feel like I finally get a good shot, I will put them on the official Paula's Handmade Memories blog but until then, they will hang out here. Oh, and if you are wondering, I will put felt on the back of these and they will be coasters. I found a process of putting a picture on a coaster so when I do one of those, I will post it so you can see it.
