It is beautiful in Oklahoma for this first weekend of fall. We are so ready for this cooler weather. We even had some much needed rain this last week. I hope that Texas got some too.
I wanted to share my first project using La La Land Crafts rubber stamp. I have a few of these stamps, and this week I decided to play.

Welcome to the last day of the weekend! I finally got a little studio time the past two days (a little each day). When that happens, I count my blessings. I am finding out that running an online business means a lot of computer time. No complaints, really. I am totally enjoying selling the {ippity} brand and I am making new friends everyday.

I have the privilege of being the guest designer for Sweet Pea Stamps during the month of August! I am truly honored and overjoyed. I also think that I have almost all of Lynette’s (owner of SPS) stamps that she makes. I am a “stampaholic,” be it rubber or digi. My little 8’x 6’ studio is overflowing with stamps.

I received my Renaissance Gilli from StampingScrapping.com a few weeks ago. Isn’t she stunning? I love the way the creator of Gilli, anaRy, has drawn her. Her gown looks like it floats.

I decided to create something using one of my favorite Tilda’s, Japanese Tilda. This was a “just for fun” project, no design team deadlines, or no deadlines that I set for myself. I love Magnolia’s and I don’t create enough with them. And needless to say this is a very short post. I hope you enjoy my little piece of art.

Our Hostess with the Mostess, anaRy, (and it being March) challenged us to use green. The Gilli I selected for my project is Burlesque Gilli, and I definitely used green! LOL This was another fun one! Do some of you remember the movie The Boy with the Green Hair? This is where I got the idea for the green hair.

Happy Wednesday everyone!
My first Design Team project for CS Designs is complete. Chris Stern's art work is so unique in nature that it is getting me out of my box. I so needed this! This exercise has also gotten me back to some of my roots…collage work with rubber stamps. I have always wanted to combine digi with rubber in a shadow box. Now I have.

But we will still have to wait a while longer. Our local meteorologist keeps warning us not to get to use to the warm weather. Winter is still here. If we get more winter, I will just color more pink things! LOL
This is one of my favorites from Priscilla’s Styles. The image is Sweet Peas Digital Stamp and is one of her new illustrations.

This one is from Tracey’s (The Stamping Boutique) “Enchantment” line and the title is “The Fairies Frolic.” Most fitting I think.

Hello everyone!
We at The Stamping Boutique just finished with our Design Team Blog Hop. And it was a success! Everyone on the Design Team was showing their true colors and the talent was abundant, if I say so myself.
This card that I just completed is another small square. (4¾”x 4¾”) For what I am trying to get accomplished, this is just the right size.

And my blessings are abundant! I have a wonderful family, a VERY supportive husband, a gracious and understanding set of best friends, I live in a beautiful historical neighborhood in the middle of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and I am on this wonderful Design Team for The Stamping Boutique (TSB). What more could I ask for? I do count my blessings everyday.

I hope everyone has had a good weekend. It is winding down for me, but I do want to try and create something else after this posting. Although Watson the Dachshund might change my plans with walking, needing attention, etc. (you know how it goes with the four-legged rug rats).
This creation was very relaxing to do. Everything fell into place for some reason. I do like those days. lol

Happy Sunday everyone! I have had a great week. I have done some soul searching and have come up with a plan for my life. And this past week has proven to me that when I get focused, have my “To Do” list handy (a realistic list, LOL), I can accomplish many things.
