Well...outside looks fabulous!  It's almost time to plant my desert garden!  That's what I call the garden that I plant and then forget to water and take care of! ...I don't forget...exactly....I avoid!
The grass looks a little tall right now.....hmmm...maybe it will snow!

I don't know what it is about "Just Rite" stamps...but I seem to have a thing
for them. I just look at a new set of stamps and then my brain goes.."hey baby, lets color!"

I've been working hard on my new website hoping that one day - I'll actually think it's done.  I've changed the way it looks, the way the photos are taken, the way I name my product...I'm cursed!  I'm probably confusing it with card making...because nothing seems to look good enough!  I have a beautiful picture of the studio on the front page with snow falling!  So obviously!...I'll have to change it!  Craziness!  There must be a pill for this!

Lonely Loon (CLA375b)

I bet you thought I was referring to myself when I said "lonely loon" for my title! (aha...meanie!) It's probably not a loon either...no I don't want an ornithology lesson!  (had to use the spell check to get that one right)...just read the side of the stamp...yup - loon!
One of my favorite things when making a Stampscapes card is making a vignette picture.  Not that I don't like stamping all over the whole thing...It's just that Stampscapes has so many small stamps that it opens up the possibilities for messing around with the whole card instead of just stamping and doing nothing else.  You get to add hardware, texture, interest, messy fingers from adding gold and black to a frame...you know...cool irritating things!
Once again...go to their most excellent website!  CLICK HERE!
