A Girl in a hat reading her book

Thanks to Simon Says Stamp and Show for this week's challenge that asked to include a hat. This is my first card with a silicone stamp by La Blanche. The stamp is very lightweight, the size of a wood block and the stamp itself is silicone.

Thanks for looking!

Yikes stripes for Simon

This week's challenge at Simon Says Stamp asks for stripes to be included. To create stripes I used is a Hero Arts Flower Word stamp and alternately colored the lines. The metal flourish is cut with Tim H's die and colored with alcohol inks as is the flower. The bunny is another HA stamp.

Krafting with a little paper and ink

Playing with kraft paper and some shadow effects. Stamped the flower in white and stamped with the red ink slightly off register. Love my new present-EK double crochet punch!

It's orange! Yes, an ATC for the Fiskateers. I used a few Fiskar tools including a crimper, tag punch, and stitch punch. The stamps are from Fiskar's "Flowers from Scratch" set.

Goodbye 2010, Hello 2011

Wow, where has January gone?

I want to share the wonderful cards that stamping friends have sent me this season. Each year I post my holiday cards on my pantry door so I can enjoy each one while I am on my computer or stamping. After all the work that goes into them I enjoy soaking them in for as long as possible. A huge thank you for sharing your friendship and talents with me!
