Well, that’s nice.

I was so focused on stamps that for a while all I wanted to do was stamp like Asian style with Kodomonokao or kodomonoinc:

Their stamps look like this: http://www.kodomonokao.com/marche/marche.html

Well, moving on to paper… hope you have fun with One Sheet Wonders:

Got hooked with Diane’s:

Stephanie has a really neat tutorial and template: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=5548430#post5548430

And I’m sure splitcoaststampers has more in their gallery when you search ;osw’.

I was very happy with my Take 10 by the Sea with Carla over the summer.

Here is the link to new classes for the last quarter of the year: http://www.impressrubberstamps.com/classes/class_list_09_2.pdf

Hope you have as much fun as moi!

I’m thinking of putting together a Take 3 or Take 5 at the local craft store or in the comforts of my home.

I have enough supplies and need help getting it down so I can go to the craft stores without feeling guilty.  lol  Honestly, I need some creative time, but in the mean time, I head over to Olga’s, Amanda’s, Erika’s, Janet’s or Diane’s.  I’m also at JustCards and HeartsInTouch HIT.  Of course everyone’s all time favorite is www.Splitcoaststampers.com

Happy creations!

If you have more than one punch and would love to put them to good use…

check out Meredith’s punch board at www.splitcoaststampers.com:

I really need brackets and parentheis so I’ll use her ideas instead of purchasing one special punch for them, as tempting as it is.

Toniann has candy for you.

Neat design.

Hope you win!

ps: deadline is coming up on the 20th.

World Card Making Day is right around the corner and I have a bunch of kits still lined up to complete.

What should I do?

LOL

I wonder what everyone has lined up locally.  mmm…

post more about it later!

ps: the question is to monogram or not:

I saw this at Wish on a Scrap: JustRite – Small DIY Round Monogram Stamper (1-3/16 Round).

They also sell monthly kits including shipping for $25.  Winner earns next month’s kit free when they post what they have created with the current month’s kit.  October is gorgeous with pink brown and cream.  my favorite!

I found yet another stamper by the same name.

This is number 2!  I’ll find the first one to post later.

I found her browsing over at Debby’s blog.  Debby has won lots of awards.  =)

Boy, I’d love to make one of these but first I’m making a card holder/display so I can flip through the tons of cards I’ve received so far rather than buy a card holder for lots of $$$.  The one I’d want to get is by Kimball; it’s in a shape of a snowflake.

Neat that the Stampin Up (SU) boss has a blog.

http://www.soshelli.com

Check it out.  She just started.

Be sure to check out Heidi’s other cool links.  I found this one there =)

I finally attended Heidi’s Stamp-A-Stack of 20 back in June after year’s of drooling and planning.

It was lots of fun!

I’ve learned lots from the ladies that weekend as well as from photos posted in her meetup group:

http://rubberstamp.meetup.com/264/

Well, she came out with stamp by mail program recently:

Happy stamping!

I joined a few card making and scrapbook groups via yahoo after I started browsing www.splitcoaststampers.com

I’ve met amazing and talent everywhere.

I was recently introduced me to Ms. Loes.

Her dry embossing cards are ones I like to study further to make mine better.

Not only that, we own the same corner adorner punch called Trumpet flower?  Check out her page: http://www.knutselfreak.nl/ and see for yourself her amazing creations!

Have a safe trip!

I’m away from my  super duper hubby and my lovely stamp collection, so I’m browsing and hoping to  stay in touch with my artistic side by viewing other people’s works.

I keep in touch with my  awesome group of demonstrators too!

Viewing Olga’s page led me to Dawn’s.  Looking more closely I saw something really neat and want to share it with you!

I’m sure there are tons of tutorials out there but this one  was really clear to me for turning brown paper lunch bags into little keepsakes:

Happy creating!
