I've always wanted to try this.....

I've been playing in the scrapbook room quite a bit lately. In fact I started calling it my office because it sounds more important and not like I'm "playing." I have seen a lot of candles that people have stamped on but have never tried it. Today I did.

I must say I am happy with the results. I think I'll be buying some more candles! It was so easy you can learn how to here.

I just love this snowman stamp set from Close To My Heart called Snow Friends. You may purchase it here.

Art and Soul

Have you checked out the newest Art and Soul? It shows how to do tissue stamping which is an easy way to have multiple colors on one stamped image. You will also see some more ideas for using one of my favorite products, flip flaps! Finally, the Studio J tip is about how to group and resize objects. It's definitely worth checking out.

There are so many talented Close To My Heart Consultants. I love looking at the consultants blog at all of their fantastic artwork. This weekend I made these two bows (original pattern by Jessica Crawford, I saw Chris Green's version) using Mistletoe and Topstitch paper. My husband was quick to point out that I can just buy bows but they just aren't the same. These turned out so pretty with the two sided paper, and how cool that your bow can match your card!

Happy Halloween

I made this cute card this morning before leaving for work. I used paper from the Hooligans Level 2 kit and the monster came from the stickease. I did add the googly eyes that are not CTMH but I can't resist. They are so cute! I made this for my 2 year old Godson but since I don't think he follows my blog I'm o.k. to post it.

B & T paper

Our pattern paper that is two sided is called B & T for background and texture paper. You can also make your own using stamps and a piece of cardstock. I just made a piece of volleyball paper. I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to use it yet but I have some ideas. Until then here it is ready for use! The opportunities are endless!

I'm on a roll now!

Boy, I've been getting a lot of scrapping/stamping done lately. Hope my family doesn't notice the dust in my house!

These are some tags I made up quick today to show off the great October Stamp of the Month. This set is only available until October 31. These are the stamps it contains:



And these are the tags I made:

They were quick, fun and will make every gift I give a little more special.

This is one of the new paper packs and I love it. This layout if from the Workshops on the Go kit which I love. For 29.95 you get the Level 2 paper pack, a unique stamp set that can't be purchased any other way, embelishments and a layout guide. This is the layout that comes with the pack. I'll be posting more layouts when I get them done. This is from our first official family vacation in 1998.
