Isn't this beautiful?

Last night at the stampin' night out at Leadership, Dawn Griffith shared this adorable triangle box.  It's made using a pattern by  http://pootles.co.uk

I'm thinking we just might have to make these soon.  What do you think?

Fun times with stamping friends!

Yesterday was a great day spent with some of my favorite people; stamping friends from around the world.  The day was a little cool for Florida, but beautiful non the less!

When the power is out...

I'm so thankful that rubber stamping doesn't require electricity.  Well, unless you had your heart set on heat embossing, that is. 

The power at my house went out almost an hour ago, and so I'm busy doing what I can without it. Catching up on some stamping preparations!

Hopefully the power is back on soon enough for me to take care of vacuuming before I have guests show up.

Get ready for Sale-a-Bration 2015

It's almost here!  The biggest sale of the Stampin' Up! year, Sale-a-Bration (SAB).  It starts tomorrow and runs through March 31st.  This years SAB is amazing, and there isn't anything in the brochure that I don't like.

Here is a sneak peak at just one of those items, Lotus Blossom.  It's a photopolymer stamp set and it's a 2-step stamp set too.

I used only 3 colors of ink to get this look; Strawberry Slush, Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive.

Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping!
