Gallery Surfing...

Hello, My Friends!

I'm home from NC!  What a BLAST!  I thought it would be awkward to travel on my birthday, but so many Club Members made it a special day!  Thanks to all of you for making my day a wonderful one!  :)

I was taking a mental break just now and surfing our gallery.  I love to see your creations!  I found this one by Elin from Malaysia....

Isn't it beautiful?!?!

Supplies Used:

Doodle Flower Die Set

You could also use the Sizzix version (the flower/dies are a little bigger):

Elin, thanks for sharing your creation with us!  If you'd like a special blinkie for your blog, please contact me via the website.  :)

I have some exciting news!  My NEW Sizzix products will be available THIS MONTH!  I'm hoping we get them so I can get them on the website ASAP....

There are NEW dies with matching stamps, new Bigz dies, new Framelits, too!  Stay tuned for more info!

August 1st?!?!?!?!

Hello, My Friends!

I can't believe it's already August 1st.  I also can't believe that I live 8 miles from the beach and I haven't gone yet this summer!  WHAT?!?

Well, to be honest, I'm just too busy stamping!  Well, I've also been busy traveling, teaching, designing, and sharing my love of stamping.  :)

Speaking of which, a new month means a new stamp set!  Club Members, your stamps have already been mailed to you!  Along with a special surprise I know you'll love! 

I'm thinking you might want to see the new stamp set.  Well, check out the video to see the new set.....

Updates and Such...

Hello, My Friends!


Wow, life seems to be extra busy lately.  I arrived home this morning at 2am from an exciting adventure!  We were at the Creating Keepsakes Convention in Lancaster, PA and had a blast!  It was a girls trip....Ken stayed home!

We had so much fun....even when we had to drive to Washington Dulles Airport from PA!  Our flight from PA to Washington Dulles was delayed and we would of missed our flight home! 

So....we drove 2 hours, 45 minutes to catch our second flight!  We RAN and RAN to get to our flight and made it with about 4 minutes to spare.  Yep...we live on the edge!  :)  And YEP,  I DROVE. 

My daughters were amazed that their mom drove through PA, Maryland, VA all the way to Washington DC.  :)



More....

So, apparently, I made a mistake listing the Blog Contest Winners, and listed one person twice.  Whoops!  The comment I was supposed to list was:
