Hello, everyone!
I’ve accepted a position on the design team for Just For Fun Rubber Stamps. They have some very unique and beautiful images and I’m excited to get to play with them!
My card today uses the North Pole Post stamp. I’m a sucker for penguins and I love this guy! He’s stamped in black directly onto the Eskimo Kisses paper, then coated with Ranger Distress rock candy crackle paint.

I’ve used the MOJO111 sketch and what a great one it is! The Heidi Swapp clear ghost star was painted on the back using a Ranger silver acrylic paint dabber, then coated on the front with Glossy Accents and Flora Craft diamond dust glass flakes.
I’m very excited to be working with Just For Fun Rubber Stamps and the super talented design team. I hope you’ll visit them and give them some stamping love:

Sadly, I have decided to step down from the Rubbernecker Stamps design team. I’ve been with them for 3 years and it was time for me to move on and grow in another direction. I will sorely miss Dave, Pat and all the wonderful, special ladies on the design team. They’ve been my family for 3 years and will continue to be some of my closest friends. I love them all!

The fun announcement?? I’ve been invited to be on the Our Craft Lounge design team!! Of course, it took only a few seconds to say yes! It’s been a dream of mine to be able to work (play) with all of the super-talented ladies already on the team and I love all of their fun and playful stamp sets! But most of all, I really, really love Cambria and Joy and couldn’t wait to work (play) with them!

So thanks for inviting me ladies, and I can’t wait to get into the swing of things with you all!
To start things off, I’ve made my first card. Well, I’ve made several when I previously participated in the OCL blog hops for new releases but this is my first card as a DT member! (Yippee!)

I used the For the Love of Birds stamp set for this card. The images are so delicate and beautiful. I immediately thought to pair this love bird image with the Spellbinders eyelet pendant die and add the new Martha Stewart double loops border punch to the mix. Great match, don’t ya think? Some vintage cream satin ribbon, half-back pearl stickers, and some Cosmo Cricket Earth Love paper complete the package!
Thanks so much for visiting me on this beautiful Sunday! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
