Stamp A Stack

Here is the cards we are making for Stamp a Stack this Friday...8 cards and a BONUS Tote! We will be doing a One Sheet Wonder...that is we stamp a pattern over one 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of cardstock and cut it up into pieces to make the 8 cards and tote. Cool, huh? This template I made up myself, a combo of the many I have found here and there. I had to be able to make the 8 cards and the tote and the others I saw made more cards than that. I had to use Roses in Winter, it just reminds me of Mother's Day! See my SCS gallery for an up close of each card individually. I still have a few spots open if you are here in sunny Long Island, give me a call or email today.

VSN pre-challenge card

I finally broke down and did a new technique! Usually Toni is the technique Queen, but I wanted to do something cool for my friend Karen's VSN pre-challenge on SCS. VSN (Virtual Stamp Night) is May 18-19 at Splitcoast Stampers. So, I used the emboss resist technique with my rainbow pigment inks, some primas and stickles. I really like how it came out, we'll have to use it for the next Stamp a Stack I think!

crazy stuff!

Wow...sorry I was MIA for a bit there...too much stuff going on here! So, I posted 3 entries to 3 challenges on SCS's Virtual Scrapbook Night a little while ago...Oh my goodness, all 3 won! I was soooo not expecting to win anything cause the other pages were so completely awesome! I finally found my way over to the winners thread just to look at cool layouts I may want to case (wink) and see my name 3 times! That's just crazy!!!





SO.................


In honor of my "wins" I want someone to win also! That means it's time for my very first blog candy!!! Just subscribe to my blog and leave a comment and your entered! Here is a pic of the goodies I put together...

A package of chipboard stickers, 10 square and 10 round coasters, set of gift tags w/ envelopes, 4 spools of ribbon, 4 sets of clear stamps, and 3 sizzix paddle punches.

Wowie Kazowie Batman! Hope that's good for my first set of blog candy! I will randomly pick the winner on Mother's Day, Sunday May 13th. Good Luck and welcome to my blog!

new look

I have been playing with HTML lately, can you tell? I made this logo for t-shirts for me and Toni and figured I'd use it here too.

Just wanted to share this picture of my DD...I found this dress at BJ's with the matching doll's dress for like $14.99! Too cute!
