My Cup of Tea

Yay! Finally made it to Friday! Where have you been all week? It's been very busy here at my house... getting ready for next month's classes and the next release for Sister Stamps. I know, you didn't even get Release #3 yet and I'm working on Release #4? Crazy yah? Oh yah, and I work a full time job that has nothing to do with stamping. Needless to say, one of the "regulars" at Island Scrapbooking told me the other day that I looked tired. I guess my lack of sleep is beginning to show. So here's one of the projects that kept me up late this week. Isn't she a cutie? It's one of the new fairwees by Sweet November stamps. I can't remember her name, but she makes me happy. The great thing about smaller stamps is that they always fit on your card! Oh yes, I also stumbled onto this cup of tea stamp set by my other favorite company- Lawn Fawn and knew it would be perfect to use on this box. As you can see I had some issues again with my photo, really need to get my new camera. I know you can't tell, but above the mug I stamped the steam in versamark and coated it with pearl mica powder for a smoky effect. I guess you'll just have to go to the store to see the sample up close. Its so tricky getting mica powder to photo well. And here's the front view of the tea box. I'm thinking these would make cute gifts for our neighbors in case I don't end up baking this year! Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend! (Don't forget to pick up your Sister Stamps tomorrow!)

Happy Hallo"wee"n!

Finally got to play with my new fairwee stamps by Sweet November. I just love these little fairwees! So small- so its super fast to color! I also found my old set of hats by Lawn Fawn, which contained a witch hat that was the perfect size for this little fairwee! Paired it up with the heebie jeebie's halloween set by Lawn fawn too. Love how the web has the sentiment right in the middle! I must admit, borrowed the idea about using the hat set from my CBFF Debi. She used the Santa hat on one of the fairwees, which totally inspired me to dig up my old set and dress up my fairwees. Background was colored using my distress inks- orange, green and purple. Love how you can blend colors you wouldn't normally be able to blend! Have a great weekend!

Lucky Me!

I was so stoked to win this blog candy from Amy (A Thousand Sheets of Paper). She is the artist for Sweet November Stamps, which are quickly becoming some of my favorites! I just loved her elves that came out for Christmas and were so excited to see them return for Easter! Guess Santa isn't the only one who has helpers! Not only did I win the new Spring Elves set, she also sent me the cute card sample and other goodies shown here. Thank you so much Amy!!! Can't wait to use them!
