DVD/Stamp Art Inspirations w/MaryJo McGraw
Author: Tyra L. Smith
(Manufacturer:  PageSage  http://www.pagesage.com/)

This is an extremely delightful and highly informative DVD. I found it to be quite inspiring. MaryJo McGraw is an extremely talented stamp artist who has a knack for taking simple techniques and making them look outstanding. She also is very good at teaching these techniques.

It doesn't matter whether you are a new stamper or a seasoned stamp and paper artist, everyone can find something of interest to inspire them on this DVD.

Topics of interest for this DVD are:
- Ink Basics
- Glazing With Glue
- Quick Collage
- Collage Veneer
- Glazed Metallics
- Faux Fresco
- Catalina Tiles
- Quick Cards
- Heirloom Cards
- Mini Book

The DVD is 108 minutes long, beautifully shot, recorded, packaged and sold by the PageSage company. The information is complete, accurate and easy to understand and apply. Common stamp and paper arts supplies are used for the techniques and projects on this DVD. MaryJo also gives you alternatives for supplies and optional project ideas.

Several times, as I watched this DVD, I found myself saying…."Ohh now THAT'S cool!!!" or…"I never would have thought of that!".

As a teaser, let me say that there was one point where I said to myself, "Hmmm, who would have thought to use a floppy disk like that?" No, I'm not going to say anymore. You'll have to buy the DVD and see it for yourself!

The DVD also includes an interactive gallery with more than 50 pieces of sample art. I think one of my favorite things was the "bloopers" you could look at. Those out takes sure do show the humorous side of MaryJo !!!

At a retail price of $29.95, I think this DVD is a great addition to any stamper's or paper artist's library.
