I'm Here For You, while your Blue

When I think of Spring and my friends...
I think of the Rain that makes the Grass so Green,
the Trees Bloom and the Sunshine that Follows,
that I look sooo look forward to!
 
HERE is my nod to the Spring Season, the cheering a friend and looking for Brighter, Sunny Days!
Inspired by Ashley's Question on brayering, I create this card and attached Video.  Ashley has taken my classes but needed a refresher on how to use the Brayer. 
 
Here with our Million Dollar Moments stamp set (Spring Mini) and my Clear Embossing Powder, this Vanilla Cardstock (Idea Book & Catalog) gets a new look and life!
Heat Setting the Images you desire with the Heat Gun, this blank canvas can now have a new 'Sunset' look
(Variegating is such a cool look, easy and fun
with the use of my Brayer!). 

Using Three Blue Inks, paired up with the aide of our Color Coach, Bashful Blue*, Marina Mist and Midnight Muse combine to WOW in this technique.
(*Bashful Blue is Going Away!  I'm so sad but this sweet blue is taking leave.... grab YOUR Bashful Blue Inks, ReInkers, Papers, Ribbons and Accessories,
before they are gone!)
Heat Embossing gives you a Shiny/Glossy Raised Surface.
Our Cloudy Day Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (Spring Mini) and Big Shot (Idea Book & Catalog) raises a mat, texture that is fun and subtle.
Who can YOU Cheer Up with this card, sharing one's burdens with family and friends is the only way to get through life? 
 
I know that Sunsets and Sunrises can inspire hope and give peace, they do for me.  I like taking a Sunset/rise and changing it up with these three blues.  This fashionista is sure to inspire some joy (well, I do love fashion, shoes, boots.. sigh). 
When it seems blue out, just wait, the clouds will pass..
I hope this card inspires you to send some cheer to others!
(It cheers me up to have created it!)
 
Do YOU want to see how to brayer this card?!?! 
See this Quick 2 minute video, just think 2 minutes to WOW!
Thanks for coming by!!
Please let me know what YOU think, what questions you have and what techniques you'd like to learn... I may create a video inspired by YOU!!  Thanks Ashley for this fun inspiration!!

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
