Card of the Week

Card of the Week

Here's another fun holiday card for you to enjoy! Can't you just imagine the pinwheels a'turning? Like you just want to blow on them to see them spin!

Card of the Week

My favorite stickers to use continue to be the whimsical designs by Ellen Krans (soft spoken line by MAMBI). They provide instant inspiration for me. . .I also love using double-sided patterned papers to get a very coordinated effect. And don't forget the sparkly ribbon to "tie it all together"!

Card of the Week

I created a series of holiday cards using patterned paper from Autumn Leaves, as did members of the Kreativity Team. . .some are displayed at Debra's, and some I taught in my Seasonal Cards class. I'll try to post them here for you to enjoy! This one was in neither of those groups, but it is one of my favorites!

Fall Card of the Week

Here's my first attempt at Alcohol Inks a year ago. . .thought it was fitting for my Fall Card of the Week! Leaves are one of my favorite stamp images to collect! These 2 from Stampendous are no longer available. So remember, if you see it, like it, be sure to BUY it!!!

Online Store

I'm hard at work working on my new Online Store. I have decided to make it my official "third" location. Here you will be able to shop for in stock items in your PJs, and I may also be fulfilling them in mine! Watch for the official Grand Opening soon. I'll be able to accept all credit cards and checks online -- ooh! how exciting for us all!!

Card of the Week

Halloween cards are so much fun! Here's another fun one I wanted to share with you. This was part of my card class at Tall Mouse this month. Everyone loved the ribbon effect I taught them! Just pull out your handy ol' stapler, and go for it!

Card of the Week

Here's a fun card that is oh so easy to create! Doesn't it make you smile just a tad? I used Ellen Krans Soft Spoken stickers, ribbon, Mrs. Grossman spider stickers, fun papers (double-sided of course!) and a simple dotted Magenta stamp stamped w/VersaMark. Take this class with me at Tall Mouse this Saturday!!!

October Card of the WOM

I'm going to try and post a card at least once a month, and if we're all lucky enough, once a week! That's how I came up with "WOM" which stands for "week or month". The supplies used for this card include stamps from Inkadinkado (buy 2, get 1 free), Basic Grey Mellow 6x6 pad, and MM Halloween Clears. . .all items are available at Debra's Cottage (including the ribbon!).

Kodomo & Tim's Tools

The newest acrylic mounted stamps from Kodomo are in stock NOW at Debra's Cottage!

Below is a whole display of new tools from Tim! I have these on order plus the entire line of Distressed Crackle Paints coming in soon!

Post Memory Trends

The show was very small, but still a good time for me! OMG! I actually ordered MORE than usual!!! Perhaps it had to do with the smaller crowds. . .and having more time to actually look at the catalogs to put my selections together. OR, perhaps I was in a spendy mood and had no will power whatsoever!!! LOL!!!!!!! In any case, you will ALL have LOTS and LOTS of new goodies to buy and play with soon. Look out for more Peel Off Stickers in pastel and pearly colors! Frosted and sugar-coated brads! Felt, sheer, mylar and transparent blossoms to build (shipping Nov). Clear stamp sets aplenty from Rusty Pickle, Autumn Leaves, Crafty Secrets, Doodlebug, Heidi Grace, Inkadinkado and more! Clip-it-up storage solutions, 7 Gypsies keys & paper packs, Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paints & Tools, Mini Scor-it boards, New Staz-On colors plus New Stickles. . .ok, ok, you get my drift, right!?!?

I'll keep you posted when all this fun stuff starts to arrive. And, get ready for Free Demo Day Wednesdays w/Deb coming soon!!!!

Memory Trends, Las Vegas!!!

Another retailer trade show. . .yes, life is rough! So rough, that I need to turn it into a mini vacation while I'm at it. I'm sure there will be SOME new goodies for me to drool over since I did not attend Summer CHA. And of course, it will be MY job to order them for YOU and ME to play with!!! I'll try to take pics and share them here. . .Vegas, here I come!

The OCSB is Published!

Hurray! the wait is over! We submitted to this "One Stamp" Club Contest last year, and finally our reward has come! This piece appears in The Rubber Stamper, Sept/Oct 2007 issue, pg. 47. To see all the cards submitted, click here: One Stamp Challenge.

Lots of New Goodies

I didn't get to go to CHA-Summer, but my reps and distributors are doing a good job of tempting me with all the new goodies that are coming out soon. So far, I'm ordering new Kodomo stamps, clear stamps from Lizzie Anne Designs & Hot Off the Press. I saw a really neat ad for a contraption called the Glue Glider, which I think I have to get my hands on since I don't own the humongo Scotch ATG gun yet. New holiday stamps are on order from Hero Arts, which include their hottest COLLAGE stamps! There will be new colors of Stickles (my fave, as you all know!)

I'll be meeting w/my reps in person soon to get the scoop on EVERYTHING so I can pass along all the info to YOU!! Make it a Stampin' Great Day!
