Hello stamping friends!!
I hope you had a lovely weekend. We had a busy one. The weather has been crazy for us here in North Florida! It was 88 degrees on Saturday but then only 63 on Sunday! And last night it got back down into the 30's over night! But the high is 73 today!! Crazy how we can have an almost 40 degree difference in one day!! It just means that the colds (meaning the sniffles) will be back...and the trees and flowers are ALL confused!! "Do we bloom? Do we stay dormant?"! LOL
I have a busy week this week. I am finishing up the tax preparations for an appointment with a CPA this week. Plus we have some warrantee work being done on a few things in the house. I can't believe we have been here for almost 1 year already?! Luckily there are only a few minor repairs - we are so happy with the construction of our house so far.
Ok, now onto some business...
High Hopes Rubber Stamps will be having a small release this week. Monday - Wednesday we will be showcasing the new stamps over at the High Hopes Blog. Then on Thursday the stamps will be released and all of the stamps will be shown by the Design Divas on the blog. No blog hop with this release - it will all be in one spot on the blog. I have a sample of one of the stamps being release below.
It's also a Monday so that means there is a new Weekly Candy over at the Stamp and Create Blog...
Heidi and Lulu Stick a Pose. Check out the candy here.
Today is also time for a new Product Spotlight Sale at Stamp and Create.
This week, all Greeting Farm Stamps are on sale 25% off.
It's also time for a new Monthly Challenge.
This month's challenge is: Paper Pieced
Here is my card showcasing one of the Greeting Farm stamps on sale this week...
This is one of the stamps from Miss Anya Hats Off along with Splotchy by The Greeting Farm Stamps. The papers are Kaisercraft Bubblegum Hill paired with pearls, flowers, Romantic Lace DooHickey from Magnolia, Bow Easy, and Friendship Ticket Sentiments from Whimsy Stamps.
I made this card for one of Ansley's friend's birthday the other week.
The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os. The shirt was paper pieced from Kaisercraft Bubblegum Hill paper...

And now, here is my High Hopes card showcasing one of the stamps being released on Thursday...
This is the Fancy Birdhouse 1 (P-155). The papers are the new My Mind's Eye On the Bright Side One. I also used some twine, button, pearls, and Lovely Fence DooHickey.
The sketch is from The Deconstructed Sketch this week.
