Dear Crafters, It's the month of August already!!  This month's layout features the Gorjuss stamp set "On top of the world".  I used distress oxides to create a galaxy scene which turned out REALLY cool.  The process video for this can be found HERE I seriously think that the Distress Oxide "Black Soot" is a game changer. I look forward to playing with the combination of colours featuring black soot. xxAmiraInOZ

Dear Crafty Friends, Cute paper collections ALWAYS make me want to make cards so when we got Bo Bunny's Weekend Adventure papers for August's Kit from Aunty Vera, I knew I was making cards. I used the cut apart from the 12" x 12" Bear Hug Patterned Paper as my inspiration. I realised as I was making them that I usually have 10 steps (more or less) for making more elaborate cards so I will share my process with you all. First, the card base. I use a box set of pre-cut cards (which I buy from Lincraft/Spotlight/Riot depending on the sales they are having).  These cards are usually pre-patterned, but if you turn them inside out, you have a blank white card base to work on and inside, you can use a PL journaling card to write your sentiment. For todays cards, I mixed them up depending on how the layering looked. Step 1: Cut a mat card stock that leaves a thin border of your card base showing. Card base: 4 1/4" x 5
