Welcome to my Stamping Blog

Hi everyone! I'm a little behind the 8-ball this week. I just got back from a wonderful couple of days with some dear neighbor friends of ours up in Ossipee Lake, NH! What a great time: great views, kayaking, sitting by the campfire at night, tubing... check out a couple of the photos! Anywho, welcome back to my blog! Today's Blogger's Challenge was to create a birthday card. Since I'm in love with the new Sunny Garden DSP, I created a card using the Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set and that...

My schedule for the next 1 1/2 weeks:I know this is sudden, but I'm doing an All-Occasion Card class this Sunday afternoon, August 8th.

I've had a few issues with Typepad so today we're trying something new!I wanted to share the Stationary Holders I made as gifts for all the teachers, secretaries and aides that work in the school with Lyndsey and Christopher. Normally I don't do something for everyone, but this year, I felt that they were...

Some of you have been patiently waiting for me to answer the question. About what?? Well, I bet that you would like to know how I made this cute little fairy house! To answer this, I need to link you to Jill Hilliard's blog The House that Jill Built. I saw all the adorable little houses that a bunch of demonstrators on her team made for a blog hop using her house template.I bought the kit through Jill so I'm afraid I can't give the exact dimensions/tutorial without her permission. I can give...
