I'm back with a second post today! If you are looking for the Mix-Ability and 31 Days of Halloween post hop on over to here  otherwise hang out to see what pretty papers have to do with Stampendous. Every Stampendous catalog is sprinkled with inspiration from the design team. You can see them online here anytime, and when you are perusing the pages for ideas you'll notice the designers all have a splash of pretty papers on their projects. These lovely paper samples sent to us are Graphic 45 Papers ! The quality and design options are terrific for layering up frames and accents to our projects. And there will be three lucky commenters during the hop will have a chance to use them too! Stop by the Stampendous blog for prize details. Now, it's time for my project for the hop! Quite a few presents to go, but I think these mice have it well under control. Supplies: HMR86 House-Mouse® Cheese Wrappers SSCM5003 Friend Wishes Perfectly Clear Stamps Set...

My post today is quite a bit of a jump ahead in the seasons, or is it really? I'm not a gardener or a very observant one, but it seems from a childhood memory that sunflowers grow into fall until they are droopy from the weight of the full seeds. So if anything it's a switch from all the fall and Halloween colors you've been seeing lately. You're welcome. Really my post today is also to share that while the northern hemisphere is losing leaves and heading into the cooler and cold seasons the Stampendous Catalog release that is out for October is full of fun spring products. Sunny Vase is one of the large Cling Rubber Sets with coordinating dies, LOVE that, that is in the new catalog plus a really cool background stamp called Starry Swirls. So have you all figured out how much these two together are a work of art? If you just thought VanGogh, –ding, ding, ding! – you are so art savvy! Now we can make our own little masterpieces with stamps. Here's...

Hi, everyone! It is already October, I can't believe it and yet it's here anyway. For us, it will be orchestra concerts and school carnivals, plus a few extra days off of school for the kids which I'm sure they are going to love that free time. Heehee, if only they knew what was coming.  Another activity is happening, but it is actually here in the blogosphere. The team at Stampendous has taken the challenge to post 31 Days of Halloween. If you are a fan, why wouldn't you be, you may already be hopping here on the 4th day of the hop, but if it's all new to you, then hop on over to the Stampendous blog and there will be details you'll want to know about, (whispering: "There are prizes..." ).  Today is my day to try and spook you with a project, lol, it's the best I can do since I personally can't sleep a wink if it's anything spookier than watching the Peanuts gang waiting for the Great Pumpkin. So I went the technique rout...
