I'm back!

I had a wonderful trip visiting my folks last week. I think it's the first time I've been home alone for a few days since I've been married and I'm glad to say my family survived without me and perhaps (I'm hoping!) gained a little appreciation for me. tee hee... Can you believe I went snowmobiling with my Dad on his 80th birthday? Wonderful!

I finally had a moment to play and I must say I've missed my stamping!

Card details: a•muse studio Friend to Friend stamp set, copics, Basic Grey paper, DCWV green cardstock, assorted ribbons, a•s button and onyx bakers twine

I hope you'll come back to visit on Wednesday, 1 Feb! My upline, Sunghee, is hosting a team blog hop and she's going to have a special prize. I may just find a little prize to put up too. After all, my box of brand spanking, new catalogs arrives TODAY!! There's still time to order your copy - I'll be mailing out all the spoken for copies tomorrow. :)

2012 Calendar and a•muse inks!

Sunghee, my a•muse studio upline (times 2) and I got together for a wonderful morning of stamping ink charts. I hadn't gotten to see all of the lovely a•s inks until today and I was blown away by the colors...so much better than in the catalog! She's got a great stamping room and look at how efficiently she set up the inks. It is always fun to talk and stamp with someone, I think!

Sunghee is extremely generous and gave me this business card sized 2012 calendar that fits into a plastic business card holder. I got to pick one out and this was my favorite using Wasbi ink and the Friend to Friend stamp set.

What is especially neat is that since our a•muse studio paper is white on one side, she could use a piece of woodgrain DP and print out her calendars on the white, underneath side. My photos don't do this justice and this is so much neater in real life!!

If you are interested in this calendar or any of Sunghee's other templates, you can find them here. And don't forget about my birthday special this week! You can find the details on the previous post...

Finesse the Dress

is the challenge over at Moxie Fab. I really struggled with this one and it shows. I wanted to use a doily stamp I had but that had been done and so I looked at some of my new stamps to see what I could come up with...

Not really sure about this one. It still feels like it is missing something but I've worked on it over two days and it's just not getting any better. So, it is what it is!

I hope you have a great weekend...fall is definately here. I woke up freezing this morning!
