Tonight I’m busy prepping for a vendor/craft show I’m doing on Saturday. I’ve been putting together the Design-a-house from the Holiday Mini, and it is so cute! I’ll have some pictures of it tomorrow, along with some tips on putting it together.

How stamping saved me this past month

Sarah has really fantastic insights about creativity…how to find it, keep it going, and rediscover it if you’ve lost your mojo.

I’m not surprised or terribly disappointed because this was my first time entering the contest.  It was an amazing experience, and I grew a lot as a stamper. I learned that I’m capable of a lot more than I thought (thanks to my uplines Amy and Jess for egging me on!) and that I shouldn’t be afraid to play with new techniques and styles. I’m very proud of the work I did and am excited to share it with everyone! I’m joining up with a bunch...
