Rain Puddles Design

It is sneak peek time for NEW Stampendous products that will be in stores SOON or even already there! The Stampendous July Catalog has loads of new goodies for your holiday crafting. Tons of Halloween, Fall and Christmas images from all our licenses as well as our own Fran Seiford, plus lots of new surprises, will all go live for retail sale at http://www.stampendous.com on Friday, June 30th. This week my teamies and I are sharing a favorite project created for this catalog to give you a little sneak peek of what's to come. Some of these great stamps may already be available in your local stamping or scrapbooking store!" I created this sparkly card for a wintry day! House-Mouse Hungry Snowman is such a funny and cute image, I love creating around Ellen Jareckie's artwork with blue skies and texture (sometimes I'm known to use a few background stencils and airbrush tools, too)! Remember that the Stampendous website at www.stampendous.com is offering...

The weather is heating up this week in my area and we are finding ways to cool down! Maybe a dip in the local swimming pool or just a few more ice cubes in our water will do in a pinch, but one thing I use to love to do when I was young was a car ride in the evenings! And today I'm posting about my love for the foothills in Boise, plus those rides of my youth with a card creation I made for a Stampendous catalog! (As you know my blog is frequently sponsored by products I receive from companies that I love and Stampendous is one of them!) My card uses a stamp, paper, ink and markers, oh some glue too of course! A simply fun time for someone who loves to color! This stamp reminded me so much of driving around with the windows rolled down as a younger self, plus those days I use to bicycle all Saturday morning with two fabulous friends! I miss those days. You can find supplies and instructions at the end of my blog post if you would like to color up this fantastic stamp! A...

Doesn't there seem to be a need for a crafty motivation today? Well, it's true with me, and so I've created a fun play on words to go along with a challenge over on the Splitcoaststampers Mix-Ability forum. Yep, I'm hosting a challenge this week, and it's totally easy, totally fun and a way to align your MOTIF!  Now all you need to do is look in your crafty supplies for something that repeats AND something you have or can create it larger as a single motif for your motivation! For details on how to play along just hop on over to the Mix-Ability forum and click on MIX225: A Single MOTIFation! The motif, or shape, that I planned on using was a filigree, and once I started digging, I ran across all these beautiful honeycomb supplies, so I decided to make something of it. Today's supplies and instructions are a little bit different in style, but affiliate links are still used. Anytime I use a link that is part of my affiliate program with Amazo...

Rain is part of spring and the old saying April showers bring May flowers is certain to ring true this year for my neighborhood. It's going to be a colorful May for us! All this talk about rain is because I'm on my blog today with a sweet little stamp I received from Stampendous to make this card for their catalog.
