today i altered my first cab card. the scan doesn´t show the shimmery paints of dr.phil martins (love these!). the ricrac was from carma biz (if i remember right) and fits perfectly to the background colors.

fleamarket finds
we had rainy days recently, so the happier i was when i saw the sun was shining this morning. the first saturday of the month is the day of fleamarket in our little town. – first it looked as if i couldn´t make a good find today. but then… one booth had LOTS of old books written in old letters. some had gotten a bit damp, so they were very cheap. i bought some and hope they will dry and not molder. one has wonderful technical/electrical diagrams, which will be perfect for making transparencies of the drawings. – another find was waiting for me: a big heap of neoprint-letters! they were cheap also, as they are not complete and some are damaged, but there surely will be enough left to play with in “lynne perrella-style”… and i don´t have to cry when i ruin one with acrylics or so… – there is just one thing i couldn´t find: a bigger house for all my mess… anyway, happy for today:))
mexican loteria – la escalera
yesterday i finished my cards for the monthly mexican loteria swap shortly before deadline (at my home, hehe, as i am the hostess). theme this month was “la escalera”, which translates “ladder” or “stairs”. i made 3 variations of the theme. that loteria thing is the only pure stamping thing i do these days. i started it in january ´03 and it will end in may next year. we have around 20 players each month and if you wanna see the cards of the other participants, they are at the homepage of acappela.
