<kat> Hello All

<MaggieB> yes, but we have to work with the demo version

<MaggieB> phil gave me permission to use that template

<keribou> what is cpt?

<MaggieB> complete

<MaggieB> unlike saturday

<Janet> well, yeah, so people can all do it

<MaggieB> without

<keribou> That's cool Maggie- I have the regular one

<MaggieB> i do too

<Janet> complete? LOL I thought it was (ex)cept

<MaggieB> will work up some samples using the regular cd too

<keribou> cpt= complete- I have already learning something

<MaggieB> but could not give out the templates for those

<Janet> me too

<MaggieB> so i made up a project modifying the demo cd

<MaggieB> that one can do if they want

<Janet> hey Brenda!

<Ida> Is there a URL for pictures?

<MaggieB> and i will try to do a page of samples on the rest

<brendab> hey janet

<Janet> still waiting for Whitney

<Janet> and I'm calling and nobody is answering

<brendab> good then

<keribou> Sounds really cool Maggie

<brendab> i am bouncing bad

<Ida> Maybe she is in the rubberclassroom too

<brendab> i did my first cigar box today

<Janet> Brenda, Maggie is talking about being ready for a fit it class in october

<brendab> my daughter had a fit

<brendab> she never likes my studd

<brendab> oh good then

<Janet> wow, so your daughter liked it?

<lory> studd? wanna share bren?

<brendab> hey raven

<brendab> yes she did

<Janet> LOL Lory

<Janet> Sparkle!

<sparkle> herro

<enchy> ty

<enchy> herro

<Janet> howdy, Enchyroodle!

<enchy> herro janeto

<enchy> what are we gonna learn today?

<Janet> I wonder about Whitney, it isn't like her to be late.

<Janet> Should be Whitney's boxes, but where's Whit?

<RaveNuts> no teacher? Maybe she has my ISP

<Janet> I even called and no answer.

<cak> I hope she's OK

<Janet> LOL she's got one close, she's had fits with hers the last month

<lory> hey ench

<Janet> me too

<lory> hey sparkle

<enchy> hey loryo

<enchy> i hope she is okay

<cak> (you may be teaching part 2 of watercolor Janet)

<enchy> she has had more than her share of crap

<Janet> Did anybody play watercolors yet?

<Janet> she definitely has.

<keribou> Janet I did today

<Janet> I didn't finish my box though. But it's ready to be painted.

<keribou> I totally ignored your advice- played with cheap CS and it buckled

<enchy> lol

<Ida> Sorry I missed your class last night Janet

<Janet> LOL but you gotta use what you got on hand

<cak> A good way to learn keribou--and buckled cs might come in handy sometime

<keribou> But I was playing- I got a box of 50 wedding invited plus envys plus response cards plus those envy's for $2.25 at Office Depot

<Janet> It was fun, ida. It was just about paper and a couple backgrounds. Doing washes

<Janet> Those should work for painting what we're doing tomorrow.

<brendab> ty cak

<Ida> I'll be there next go round!@

<Janet> woo hoo!

<keribou> I was playing- I SOAKED the CS - so I knew what would happen

<Char> but you gotta use what you got on hand--A good class..Make Do With What You've Got! Really, I'm serious

<Janet> And I want a class on how you do your flowers, too.

<Ida> I am working on it!

<Janet> I wonder what would happen if, as it's almost dry but not completely dry, if you ironed it?

<keribou> Iron? What is an iron? oh thing I use to make tuissue paper envys

<Char> We've discussed that.....not sure I can pin it down. It always seems like luck to me.

<Janet> yes, one of those paper making tools

<keribou> I alos got a set of watercolor pencils for 22 cents so I was playing with them and a damp brush

<Janet> I've always wondered how those work

<cak> How did they work keribou

<cak> ?

<Janet> (and where did you get a set for 22 cents?)

<Ida> Could Whitney be in the rubberclassroom?

<cak> (that's an even better question)

<Janet> let me go look, Ida

<keribou> Office Depot- 1 was missing but for 22 cents I figured it was ok

<Janet> nope, nobody's in there.

<Janet> wow, what a deal

<keribou> Honestly- I have some good pencils and they work well with the brush these didn't but the CS I used was eh

<cak> As long as it isn't red, blue or yellow--you can make so for 22 cents

<keribou> Not sure what color it was- the main ones are in there

<Ida> Just wondered, thats where Angel, Char and myself went the first time.r

<keribou> Good for travel- if my suitcase gets lost I won't cry

<cak> so did you color then brush or brush from directly from the crayon?

<brendab> janet can you make sure she hasnt mispelled the room

<keribou> I scribbled then brushed with damp brush

<keribou> then the other time I scribbled then misted the CS

<Janet> Brenda, I'm sorta worried, I call her house and there's no answer.

<keribou> that worked better

<Janet> wonder if you scribbled on another scrap piece of paper, would that work as a palette?

<keribou> that might work better

<cak> Isn't that how they make those watercolor travel kits?

<keribou> I want one of those

<Char> Shouldwe all invite ourselves to Cyberstampers for RC and Moon Pies....whatever that discussion is?

<Janet> I have seen those, like a palette but a flat piece of paper

<MaggieB> i wonder what happened to whit?

<sparkle> ROFl..I'm over there yelling at messy people

<Janet> I don't know, I'm worried.

<MaggieB> me too

<MaggieB> not like her

<brendab> me too janet

<brendab> thius isnt like whit

<cak> why go over there sparkle, there are plenty of messies here

<MaggieB> esp after saturday

Janet brings the moon pies over for us

<MaggieB> not like she would forget in a couple days

<scout> Could it be that she got mixed up on the nites?

<Angel> could be..

<Janet> that could be, although she asked for Tuesday so we mixed around the nights

<MaggieB> or she is yelling at her computer or ISP?

<Angel> could be also!LOL

<Ida> That's a possibility

<brendab> she could be having computer problems again

<cak> I hope it's as innocuous as that!

<Janet> Anyway, let's learn while we're waiting. I wanna know how Brenda made the box her daughter likes.

<Angel> Iwant a big moon pie..sounds good!

<Char> Could we take a peek at the pictures if we all swear to return to the class WHENEVER it is?

<scout> Since my hubby retired, there are days when I don't even know what day it is!

Janet passes Angel a big slightly stale moon pie

<brendab> i painted it with black gesso

<Janet> (moon pies are best when they are slightly stale)

<brendab> then sponged ready tex paints on it

<cak> brenda, was this a paper or wooden box?

<Janet> ready tex is acrylic like?

<Char> Am I deprived or what? I don't even know what a moon pie is!

<brendab> then collaged some old fashioned roses gift wrap paper on

<Angel> thanx Janet!

<brendab> then an angel and a poem about angels

<Janet> Char, you are deprived!

<Janet> (I, on the other hand, am depraved)

<Janet> oh wow, Brenda. I wanna see it now.

<cak> Ooooo, sounds beautiful (and I wanna see too)

<brendab> then i put two of those round stones that you can stamp an image and glue to the stone to see it

<Angel> me too!Janet!

<brendab> on the box

<Janet> Moon pies are food of the gods.

<brendab> then a black stone earring with fake diamonds around the outside of it

<enchy> poison

<Janet> Oh those like you made pendants out of

<Char> This mortal wants to know more.

<Angel> yupp... would kill for one right now!

<brendab> and then a feather and some of that textured wall paper in a leaf shape painted black and sponged with gold

<Janet> They are like a sandwich, with marshmallow on the inside and coated with chocolate-like substance

<Angel> like the sound of that box too..sounds nice!

<cak> Now the stones/earring would be a lovely finishing touch--you sure don't see those every day (and you handle them beautifully)

<Janet> where did you put the earring?

<scout> In the moon pie

<Janet> LOL

<Char> Janet....can you do the fauxWhitney thing? I'm in danger her of eating sponged gold wall paper with fake diamonds and stamped stones and embossing a moon pie!

<Angel> have fun guys...iam tired.. aim going to turn in...

<Janet> LOL

<Janet> take care, Angel. Enjoy the moon pie. :)

<kat> lol

<cak> night angel! sorry you couldn't stay longer

<Angel> sorry..just cant stay awke..

<cak> (don't break a tooth on the earring)

<Janet> take a nap tomorrow, Angel. Watercolor tomorrow

<Janet> LOL

<Angel> thanx again Janet, you are all so sweet!

<Janet> And today I played with how Ida did those wonderful ones at the gg designs store and even mine turned out cool!

<Angel> I will.. i do want to do that class..

<Janet> (not as cool as Ida's but I'm gonna practice it more)

<cak> wait! wait! How did Ida do the gg designs?

<Ida> It's all in the blending

<Char> I've been trying to talk Ida into volunteering to do a special class on that technique, since she's got it nailed!

<Janet> I was supposed to be making samples for tomorrow's class, but the stamp on top was a solid reverse type one and the Ida technique was what to do, rather than watercoloring.

<Janet> I can't wait for that. This was fun.

<Janet> And then I tried Brenda's technique with alcohol and that was cool, too.

<MaggieB> whoops there goes brenda again!

<Ida> I'll call Charlotte tomorrow and see what we can figure out

<Janet> Then I watercolored a buttwipe. :)

<MaggieB> she is ALWAYS doing that!

<keribou> ok- I'm going to go stamp

<keribou> goodnight all!

<MaggieB> nite

<cak> night keribou

<Janet> take care, Heather.

<kat> what is brendas technique with alcohol

<Janet> It's sort of like Ida's where you marker up the stamp

<cak> (thanks kat, I wanted to know too)

<Janet> then Brenda spritzes it with rubbing alcohol and stamps it

<Janet> and it looked way different, sort of speckled mottled really neat

<kat> does the alcohol damage the stamp

<Janet> I hope not.

<Janet> I didn't know so I washed it off immediately

<Janet> (unlike usual where I wash them right before I need them again)

<Janet> (we're talking months with ink on 'em)

<kat> I know what you mean

<Janet> Linda!

<kat> i'm getting better

<paperpushe> Hi kids

<Char> I love looking at Ida's ..... half the time I can't figure out which stamp she used > )

<Char> The way it should be.

<Janet> those are so beautiful

<brendab> janet i am sending you a scan of the box

<cak> Are they posted some place?

<Janet> yay!

<Janet> and then we can all see it

<Ida> The solid or bold stamps work best.

<Janet> I don't have a scan of what I've done on mine so far. But I was thinking using buttwipes on it, instead I did polymer clay on it and stamped into that

<Janet> so it (I HOPE) will look like carved when I'm done

<paperpushe> well, I guess I know I'm in the right place if Janet is talking about buttwipes LOL

<Char> Any chance we could get a page of scans of ALL the boxes that were started in that class....particularly since there weren't any pictures to "copy."

<Janet> LOL

<Janet> We sure could.

<Ida> Can you make an impression in polymer and then ink it...like a reverse image?

<Janet> Everybody. Make a box! and send me a scan. and I'll make a page

<Janet> I don't see why not, ida.

<brendab> ok janet it just finished going out

<Janet> there are a couple images I'd love to watercolor but I need ones where the ink is around the image instead of being the image, if that makes sense

<Janet> Got it!

<cak> not enough open space?

<Ida> Did the shelf liner and leaf but that is as far as I got

<Janet> Let me go put Brenda's scan on a page for us to look at

<Janet> how did that turn out, Ida?

<Ida> An outline stamp?

<brendab> take a look at it first janet

<Char> Sounds like flirting with monoprint technique....could you stamp the image on rubber gasket material and paint arount the image and stamp it?

<Ida> Pretty good

<brendab> it may not be worth the trouble

<cak> I know it will be brenda (unless you got a bad scan)

<brendab> what i like someone else may not

<brendab> tho cak

<brendab> it is strange for my daughter to like anything i do

<MaggieB> brenda you are always too hard on yourself!

<cak> Then you're just broadening our horizons

<MaggieB> we LOVE your stuff!

<brendab> ty maggie

<Ida> Char, what happened to your Morning Glories? Can't find them

<brendab> it is so nice to be encouraged

<cak> (if she's between 15 and 30 years old, she won't like the same thing!)

<brendab> wb kat

<Char> They are still at the printers...he promised a delivery this week some time.....

<brendab> she is 27

<Char> When I put the regular mall page back up they will be there.

<Janet> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/ggdesigns/brendabox.jpg

<Janet> It's BEAUTIFUL!

<cak> (you got a ways to go then--)

<cak> thank you Janet and brenda too!

<Char> Oh GOSH yes!

<brendab> ty janet

<MaggieB> cool brenda!

<brendab> ty char

<brendab> i am happy with my first one

<paperpushe> brenda, that's inspired!!!

<brendab> ty maggie

<brendab> ty paprer

<Janet> it's beautiful!

<paperpushe> gorgeous

<cak> Wonderfully Victorian brenda! (I love all that detail)

<brendab> it was so much easier to do

<MaggieB> you have been working on your collage!

<lory> purdy brenda

<brendab> i have figured out how to teach a collage class for biginners

<MaggieB> definitely not a pic with a frame anymore!

<brendab> ty

<paperpushe> the jewel really sets it off, bren

<Janet> I love the earring on there, and those glass pieces.

<brendab> i have learned a secret

<scout> Wow, lotsa pretty work...

<cak> Make sure you let me know when you teach it brenda

<brendab> will do cak

<brendab> am going to do it during convention

<Janet> I need that class!

<paperpushe> me, too

<cak> Yay! (but I don't want to wait)

<brendab> well this little secret really makes collage easy for me now

<MaggieB> secret?

<kat> i'm back again

<MaggieB> geez, why the heck did i sit in all those classes??? LOL!!

<kat> beautiful job brenda

<MaggieB> wb kat

<brendab> ty kat

<Janet> let's shake her upside down for the secret to fall out.

<Janet> (can I wait until end of October? I'll try.)

<cak> I'll get a leg!

<brendab> lol

<Janet> I'll get the other leg

<Char> Wouldn't that be a great bonus for those of us still here waiting?

<paperpushe> I"m shaking

<Janet> (the worst we can do is get change to go buy more moon pies)

<cak> lol

<brendab> roflol

<cak> (a no-lose proposition for sure)

<Janet> Oh!

<cak> Oh?

<Janet> I have a Discovery (capital D) to share!

<brendab> what?????????

<cak> What!!!???

<Char> Yes?

<paperpushe> spill it Janet!

<Janet> Yeah, I've always loved making suncatchers with these stamps. And I Discovered (cap D) an easier way.

<cak> (brenda--grab a leg)

paperpusher wants a chance to shake Janet

<Janet> My old way was to stamp and emboss first on the cling vinyl, and that was the hardest part for me.

<Janet> I'm not a good stamper at the best of times, stamping on something slicky is hard!

<brendab> emboss on cling vinyl?

<Janet> but I was trying stamping with those Lumiere paints for my samples (yeah, that was the other tricky part, if I got it too hot I melted holes in it)

<Janet> and the vinyl stamps good with those Lumiere/acrylic paints!

<Janet> So no more heat embossing for me.

<Janet> I think these are more delicate, this stuff i bet would chip off if I rubbed on it

<cak> cool

<Janet> but on a window? nobody is likely to scratch on it

<sparkle> have you tried stamping with the 213 or Decor It paints janet?

<Janet> Yep, I've done that and those are good too.

<Janet> but this way I got silver and gold. :)

<brenda> can you emboss on cling vinyl?

<enchy> there is silver and gold 213

<sparkle> lol..they come in metallics too silly

<Janet> then filled in with the glass paints (the ones from the walmart)

<sparkle> you need more

<sparkle> stufffs

<Janet> There is????

<Janet> I NEED them!!

<enchy> i have it right here

<sparkle> yes you do

sparkle has 'em

<enchy> for on black shrink plasteeek

<brenda> wow

<brenda> i need that too

<Janet> Okay! everybody! party at Sparkle's house to play with her stuff (then when we got hers used up we'll head north to Enchy's house)

<MaggieB> sounds good to me!

<enchy> roflol

<brenda> lol

<cak> me too

<MaggieB> put the coffee pot on sparkle!

<Janet> and we can stop on the way to steal, uh, I mean borrow, yeah, borrow, all the gg stamps we don't have yet.

<enchy> you guys find it - you can play with it

<sparkle> lol

<enchy> i let sparkle open new stamp pads at my house when she found them

<enchy> huh honey?

<sparkle> yep

<enchy> roflol

<sparkle> enchy lets me do almost anything I want at her house

<sparkle>

<enchy> just about

<Janet> Sounds like my house. I might have that what you were talking about and just losted it in my house.

<MaggieB> just about huh?

<enchy> just about

<enchy> roflol

<Janet> OH. Then let's go to Enchy's house first!
