JoyOfStamping

Well, I’m back to “reality” after a great mini vacation.  I took a week off of work to spend it with some of my favorite people…. doing some of my favorite things…. (unfortunately Jordan and the rest of the New Kids were busy, so they were not able to join in the fun.  LOL!) My […]

  When I learned how to do the Rusted Enamel technique from Tim Holtz’s Creative Chemistry 101, I was HOOKED!  I love this technique and I was using it on everything! 🙂  When I saw his cute Apothocary dies come out, I knew I had to try that technique on them. Speaking of Creative Chemistry…. […]

How oh how is it October already?  Where has this year gone?  Seriously… I feel like I just blinked and 3/4 of the year is over….. I love October… it usually means cooler weather… (but lately its still been warm here in SoCal) and I love the spooky decorations for the Halloween season.  I will […]

When I say that I’m a lucky girl, I truly believe it!!!!  Last weekend was a prime example of how good life really is! 🙂  Archivers hosts Scrapfest at the Mall of America in Minneapolis, MN.  This was their 10th one and I was so excited to be able to go. My trip started with […]

I fell in love with the tim holtz’s new blueprint stamps as soon as I first laid eyes on them! 🙂  When I first saw the first two completed sets, I was in awe… but the coolest part…. was watching MJ3 (Mario Rossi III) draw the next set and then see tim do his magic […]

So, I have a new obsession…. when I took the class I mentioned in my previous post, we created a tag that used a Tim Holtz Mask. (see 2nd picture in previous post)  I loved the outcome of using the mask.  So, I decided to create one with my own twist. The new Sewing Edge […]

During CHA, I was fortunate enough to take a full day class with Tim Holtz where he taught quite a few techniques.  I loooooved the first tag we did.  Here it is on the left: I’ll have to admit… when I first heard we were going to the “spritz and flick” technique, I wasn’t thrilled.  […]

Can you please that Valentine’s Day seems to be just around the corner?  I thought this tag would be a perfect fit to include in some of the Inspiration Emporium orders! 🙂  And you know me… I love these mini #5 Tags! 🙂 I absolutely love the new Tim Holtz Alteration dies and texture fades […]

I think I am addicted to these smaller tags… #5.  And I also have another new obsession….. Picket Fence Distress Stain….. More bulk creating going on to include in some of Inspiration Emporium orders. 🙂   This is actually my first time playing with the Picket Fence Distress Stain.  We couldn’t keep them in stock […]

Although its bulk creating, at least I am still creating!  🙂  At Inspiration Emporium, we like to include handmade items when we can.  This was my contribution! 🙂   As soon as I saw the Mini Sewing Room Die, I knew I had to use it!  I fell in love with the original Sewing Room. […]
