When I got I got my Copic Markers, I couldn’t wait to color something. I pulled out my Penny Black images and I hadn’t used the Pig in the Bikini. I knew that this one would be fun to color. And I was right. It was very fun. I used the paper from Chatterbox as […]

Like I mentioned before, I looooooooove cute-sie images.  When I had my first SU party, the hedgehogs were the first thing that I had to have.  I was so sad when they retired all of them.  But then, I went to a local stamp convention and saw these Penny Black stamps that were so cute […]

I am so happy that we got Penny Black stamps in.  I’m so in love with “cutesy” images and Penny Black has a lot of fun images to color.  This particular stamp is called Cheesecake Party.  I colored the image with my PrismaColor Pencils and blended them with Gamsol and my blending stumps.  I went […]

Well, I made it back from my white water rafting trip safe and sound. The rapids were pretty weak this year, but I still had a great time. I’ll post pix in one of my upcoming entries. I was so excited for the new SU! Catty to come out. I’ve already got my order in […]

My friend’s baby was having her first birthday party. I saw this cute dress and knew it was for Makayla. I didn’t pick up a gift bag (duh moment). But, when I got home, I remembered I had acrylic paint cans from Stampendous. I had never used this size before…. but once I did…. I […]

I got to play with some of the new SU stamps.  I was so excited about this set, but I didn’t realize how hard it would be to use.  I had an idea in my head, but it didn’t come out the same on paper….. but I’ll keep playing around with it! 🙂 Rox always […]

It’s always nice to see what color combos Emily comes up with for the Color Challenges on SCS. This week was Cameo Coral, Certainly Celery and Chocolate Chip. I rarely use Cameo Coral, so it was nice to blow the dust off this color. As soon as I read what the color challenge was, I […]

One thing I love about this whole stamping world is getting to know some of the most amazing people…. not just stampers, but people.  I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to get to know Taylor VanBruggen.  She is not only a talented stamper, but one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met.  Today is […]

Splitcoaststampers always has such awesome challenges.  The ladies that run these challenges every week are amazing! 🙂  The sketch challenge is run by Rox71.  The sketches are always so much fun.  I haven’t played in a while, but this past weekend, I needed some inspiration, so SCS is always the place to go! 🙂  Peggy […]

When I saw this Berry Set from Stampendous, I knew I had to have it!  There is something about strawberries that are just so fun!   Plus, I always think of my friend Pam Hooten (aka Iris on SCS) when I see sstrawberries.  Piris and I became friends a long time ago on SCS when she made a […]
