Happy New Year!

I hope you are ready to write 2012 100 more times, and wonder what day/month/year it is! Well, if you are anything like me, anyway! LOL

This month we have about 60 bloggers showing off some wonderful creations made with the January Stamp of the month, Happy Valentine! You should have arrived to my blog from Teresa’s blog , and if not, that’s ok too, because it’s a big round circle hop!

I really liked the layout in the book with the Stamp of the Month, and wanted to re-create it for my Sister in Law for Christmas. (she hasn’t gotten it yet, so, if she pays attention to my blog, then she will know what she’s getting!)

I had so much fun working on this layout! I used our new markers to color in the flowers that I had stamped in Chocolate ink. I colored multiple flowers, and then cut them apart to make this fun 3-D effect with them.

I also colored some bitty pearls with the same purple marker, so that they would match! Isn’t it great that you can do that with these markers?

If you have a valentine, or are smitten with a little one, this is the stamp set for you! Some great phrases, some beautiful roses, where can you go wrong with that?

Remember, the Stamp of the month can be purchased for $17.95 by itself, or for just $5 when your order reaches $50!

During the month of January, you can still get the Whooo’s your Valentine kit, a $40 value for just $10 when your order reaches $35! What a fantastic deal! You get two sneak peaks into the new Idea Book that will be released in February!

Want to earn some of these things for free? Contact me to host your own party, and I will give you an extra bonus at your party!

Have a Crafty New Year!!

Welcome hoppers! It’s almost Christmas time, and that means a new year will be coming soon as well! December’s Stamp of the Month is a cute and fun stamp set that you can use the whole year through! You should have come from Tamytha’s blog, but if not, that’s ok! You can find the full list HERE if you get lost along the way!

I wanted to do something a bit different than my ‘norm’ for this month’s blog hop. So, I decided to go with a great way to house stamps, or, in this case, cards! I started with the My Acrylix Organizer, added some Pemberly paper (only available through January!), and some cork letters, and came up with this fun box!

I used Archival Black ink to stamp all of the images to make them a nice crisp image that will last with the handling it will receive. In the photos, you see some stamp sets inside, but I will be filling it with cards that are ready to find a new home!

This stamp set can be yours for just $17.95, or just $5 with any $50 order! And starting December 1st, there will be things added to the While Supplies Last section on my shopping site! You should make sure to check them out as well!

Those that host a party with me before the end of Decmeber, will be getting an extra 15% hostess credit! Just imagine how much more you could get with that!! Contact me today to schedule your party!

Now, you should hop over to Helen’s blog to finish the circle, or to continue going, if you didn’t start there! Have a fabulous day! (and only 24 days until Christmas!)

Happy Crafting!
