I've heard of it vaguely and thought I might try it. I think you bond the two together or something like that?? It is very simple. You just need a sheet of tissue paper and a piece of freezer paper. Crumple the tissue paper up into a ball and then flatten it out. Place the freezer paper shiny side up on your ironing board and place the tissue paper right side up on top. I use a brown paper sack over the top of the other two. Iron the papers to bond them together. A medium setting on the iron, and just a minute or two of heating will probably do. Then you can use an envelope template to trace on the back side of the freezer paper. Or use the paper as a layering part of a card. And here's a plug for my rollergraphs. I use white tissue paper (the cheap kind that SAM'S sells a Christmas time) and roll my own designs.

Who judges if a card is "good enough" and should or should not have been in a swap? I put a lot of effort into my cards, and they certainly aren't as good as many I have seen. Perhaps I just don't have the "eye" for pulling things ogether as well as some people wish..

Here is a new trick I discovered when a friend of mine accidentally dropped her corner punch. The guides that hold the paper so that you can align the corner of your paper are made of grey plastic. They are actually two separate pieces that slide out quite easily and are also easily replaceable! If you remove them, you can slide your paper in straight like you would with a regular paper puncher. Do this and punch once, then slide the corner punch over about 3/4" and punch again, you can create an amazing border this way! Write if you need more details or if I haven't explained this well enough!

I am really confused. Is there a possibility that the server that has picked up only 40 messages just hasn't gotten the other 40 yet...and the same with baggie's message? Maybe there is a line blockage someplace between majordomo and your deficient account. Another note along the same lines and a sequel to Ginger's sign off message is that I have signed off the list using two different addresses and I'm still getting the messages. Don't do anything about it, Janet! :-) (I want to do it myself, MOM!) I have received another address this morning and I want to try that. When I do get this figured out, I think it will eliminate most of the duplicates. Since I signed off those two addresses, I am not getting triplicates or blanks....Ginger may be onto something here. It may be that those of us who frequently sub and unsub are setting ourselves up for the dupes, etc. If Lisa Thompson sees this, I wish you would let me know whether you ever sub and unsub. BTW, it's amazing how quiet the list is if you don't get triplicates and blanks...I didn't even realize I was still signed on the list until almost noon!!

Neither knew I took the picture. They both had little brothers wrestling and were there for support. Now for my question - I found one of those oval brown picture frames in my stamp stuff, and I was wondering what is the best way to decorate? Would you seal the brown paper stuff before you acrylic paint? Has anyone decorated any of these? This paper feels like it would bleed if ink was used on it.
