Here I am again, having done another new card. This one was tedious, but fairly simple. All you need is a good sized stamp of a flower or something decorative like a medallion. Then cut 4 pieces of white paper - each piece 1/2 in. smaller in height and width than the one before it. Then stack them centered, one on top of the other, starting with the largest on the bottom. If necessary, put temporary adhesive between the layers to hold them in place. Then stamp your image on top of this stack, making sure that the papers don't move. Next, mat each stamped piece with a piece of card stock (same color for all) exactly 1/8 inch larger in dimensions. Glue the matted papers on top of each other, being careful to match up the image pieces. Color if desired - I did. Then place on the front of your card. Here's a picture of mine:
The writer speaks of the common occurences in the life of anyone who scrapbooks regularly and finds that she (or he) has spent more on scrapbooking tools than on food for the family. There are musings about a hobby that creates a mess wherever you work at it, and as long as there are unscrapped photographs anywhere in the house, it never ends. And there are always new and wonderful products coming out that one HAS to have!

- I was raised in South Florida back in the years when it was a peaceful and wonderfully safe place to live. We lived a mile from the beach and could ride our bikes over the intercoastal bridge right to the best beach around. All my years of growing up I was a competitive swimmer and belonged to AAU. I granduated from Florida State University with a BS degree in nursing. I am recently retired but I'm thinking of going back to work to support my hobbies.
