December Stamp Camp Cards

November Cards

Kids Stamp Camp

Kids stamp camp was a hit. Here are some pictures of a few of the stampers working on their cards...

October Cards

I have been working off and on all month on Octobers cards and finally am (almost) done! We're doing a mix of Halloween cards with some general cards.

I am trying a few new things this month. First I bought new cards that are ready made and come in a variety of vibrant colors but are white inside. This eliminates the problem of trying to write inside of a dark card. Of course the color range is not as varied as making my own cards, so they won't be gone completely, but the new cards are certainly more convenient.

I've also spent the month going to new stamp shops and getting a variety of fun new stamps, including some acrylics to try out. I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the acrylic stamps yet or not - it's great to see right where you are stamping, but they don't seem to pick up or hold the ink as well as the rubber stamps...let me know what you think.

Here are the first 8 of Octobers cards. I have 1 more to come and then I am going to do a project - i'll get those pictures posted today when I finish them.
For the kids camp, we will be doing the frankenstein card, the ipod card, and a special project for them as well - all for $5 per child.

**All cards and projects are posted as of 10/10!

My favorite time of the year....

The new Stampin' Up catalog is out and every time this year I treat myself to a nice BIG stamp order. I replenish all of my papers, ribbons, and supplies and spoil myself with a variety of new stamp sets and accessories that are featured in the latest catalog. I don't stick to just stampin' up stuff, but I do love their products and I've adapted to using mainly their products. So all of my profits from the September stamp camp will get to go to an order that will ultimately benefit all of you who stamp with me! Look for those in the coming months.

I'm heading up to Seattle in about a week to go pick something up and i'll be swinging through A Muse stamps. I didn't make earlier in the summer so i'll go now that the kids are in school. I've never been there but they had this coffee stamp that I really liked and I'm looking forward to using in some cards.

Keep an eye out for those new purchases - I will no doubt be so excited I have to post some pictures. I also will most likely look again through my stamps and find some that I'm ready to pass on, so for those of you who love to stamp at home - great deals will be in your future!

See you at Camp!

September Cards

Here are the pics of the Sept cards. I will be adding a little bit more flair to a few before camp today!
