Hello my friends - Well I accepted an offer on Sunday night. My home was on the market for one week. I'm really excited about it, but I was really thinking it would take a minimum of 6 months so it caught me completely off guard. On top of that the buyer wants a quick close, so I need to be out of here by April 6. Yikes! I don't know how I am going to do that. As of right now I have no housing prospects for a home and haven't found anyplace that would be willing to do a short term rental. Worst case senario I can go back to camp early but there won't be any water till May 1! I was originally planning for an out of state move but some family problems have put that on the back burner for a bit.
Another bit of great news...I got my latest shipment in from SU. I got the Thoughts and Prayers set this time around. I just love that tree. Since I have to keep the house showroom nice, I am not bringing out alot of items to make cards. Keeping to the clean and simple cards. Here is the one I created tonight.
Recipe is all SU
So now that you have seen what I created with my new set I wanted to show you how I am storing my set. I unmounted my rubber from the foam and remounted it to EZ mount. Then I took the SU clam shell and cut it to hold my stamps. I used 6x6 clip it up storage envelopes to store the set. The storage envelopes allow me to hold more stamps in less space, plus since they are all the same size, it makes them great to stack. Here are some pics for you.
Well I don't know how soon I will be able to do another post so until then I hope you have a wonderful spring! Enjoy!
Enjoy!
On March 11, my little blog will be one year old. In order to celebrate, I thought I should give one of you a present since all your comments have been presents to me this year. What's the present you ask? Well it wouldn't be a surprise or present if I told you, but I will give you some hints...In the box will be some of the "hot" "in" markers that everyone is going gaga over...a very rare SU set from 1997 that you can't seem to find anywhere...Another goes round and round yet "says" the same thing over and over again. So there are a few hints of some of the items...Anyway the box will have lots of goodies in it.
So how do you sign up for the blog candy? Wish ScrappinGalz Cafe a happy birthday on your blog and link back to this blog. Be sure to post a comment here to let me know you are participating. On March 11, I will pick a winner using random.org.
Good Luck!
Tina
Enjoy!
Sorry I have been gone so long. I was redecorating and spring cleaning for the open house I had this past weekend. My house went on the market last Thursday. Open house went fairly well and all comments were good so I am happy. So if you know of a scrapper or stamper in the Central Mass area looking for a cool townhouse that's already set up with a very large scrap and stamp studio send em my way.
Now that the open house is over I have finally been able to get back into my studio. Look at the card I made tonight. I really like how it came out. I got the inspiration from a card I saw somewhere online about a month ago. I'm sorry I cant give credit since I look at so many cards on a regular basis.

For this card I used my CTMH Free Spirit Stamp set. First I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock that I got from work (which is almost as nice as Gina K's ultra smooth - but its free! LOL), then I cut the sentiment out with my CM circle cutters. I stamped and distressed with a dauber and CTMH Coco Ink. Then I stamped two birds and cut them out. I adhered the birds to a digital paper from Shabby Princess from the Sun Porch line. (I cropped and adjusted the paper and then printed it out on the white cardstock). I popped up the circle frame with the high pop dots and popped one of the birds with a shorter pop dot. The card base is SU's soft sky which seems to match perfectly with the patterned paper. The last thing I did was add a bit of SU's River Rock ribbon.
I hope you enjoy this card!
Enjoy!
