February Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Hello all! Welcome to Alison's "Sticky Girl Stamps" Monthly Blog Hop. I love this stamp of the month! The possibilities are endless and I love any stamp that I can color in. Here is just a simple layout using Caboodle. I embossed the "Make a Wish" and "Happy Birthday" sentiments with CTMH Heavenly Blue embossing powder. I don't know if it shows, but I used liquid glass on the cake stands and flowers and prisma glitter on the candles. The outside edge was stitched with sassy strands. The next blog is Laura's so click here. If you want to go back to the beginning, click here.

What a Saturday!

Trying to vendor 2 events on Saturday was a bit much but you ladies rock! It was a great day for business and meeting new CTMH followers. Sunday will definitely be a day of rest to prepare for the upcoming week. I'm so excited to finally start teaching at my new job. The next Central Penn Crop is February 20th. Email Lisa if your are interested in attending at centralpenncrop@yahoo.com. It's a great event and the food is awesome. Have a wonderful week!

New Artwork

I've taken advantage of the day off and did a little artwork. Layouts are using the You Rock paper kit. Flip flap book is using Veranda Creative Basics. The card I lifted from Jeanette's website that uses our new lower priced A size stamps. Enjoy!

Happy New Year! The Spring 2010 Book is now LIve!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year! I have to say I was in bed before midnight, just can't stay up that late anymore. We did have a fabulous dinner at Mikado Japanese restaurant. Anyway, enough about me. Have you looked at the new Idea Book? What do you think? Since we are freezing in PA, it makes me warmer just looking at it. I've started a poll on the left to vote on your favorite paper packet, so please take the time to look and vote. Don't forgot my open house on January 10th. I'm working hard on sample with all the paper packets for you to look at and FREE shipping on all orders that day.
