Squared Away
Hi everybody,
I was inspired to do a square card by all of the artists who have submitted entries in the latest challenge at EnjoyMichaelStrongstamps yahoo group. I had a few spare minutes this afternoon so I stamped my frame stamp onto gold cardstock, cut it up into 16 pieces, added glitter and ribbons and assembled what you see. Remember, the deadline for the Squared Away challenge is Nov. 30. Cheers!

Card Challenge
Hi Everybody,
The latest card making challenge at the Yahoo group EnjoyMichaelStrongStamps is on!
Join the group here to participate.
Here's the lowdown: The challenge is called "Squared Away". Make any size card as long as it's square. Use any MSRS you have. There are no color restrictions this time and you can embellish the card to your hearts content. The only other requirement is that you must use two different types of ribbon to adorn the card. The challenge ends on November 30. Three artists will be awarded with the brand new "Snow Pals" rubber stamp set. Have Fun!

Jazi Fun!
Hi Everybody,
What a fun day I had yesterday. I was at Jazi Crafts in Oceanside for the second annual Artist Retreat. The theme this year was "Whimsy". Michelle Peard (such a talent!) and I teamed up to help our participants make a very whimsical holiday keepsake project. Everyone arrived at the store at 9:30 and received their goody bags and had breakfast(yum). Fortified, half the group began in the "Gilded Cage" workspace making a really awesome 6 X 6 Acrylic book designed by Michelle and the other half began in the "Igloo" workspace making a whole bunch of cards, gift tags and bookmarks designed my me. All these things fit into pockets on each page of the book. After a Delicious lunch (yum yum) the groups switched workrooms to complete their project. All day long, whoops of joy echoed through the store as door prizes were awarded (I'm pretty sure everybody got a prize!). Goodies were distributed all day long including ice cream sundaes(yum yum yum)in the afternoon. I truly had a blast. It was a pleasure spending the day with such a fun group. Thanks to David and Michelle Jackson and the staff at Jazi Crafts for making the day so memorable! Can't wait for the next retreat!

Snow Pals
Hi Everyone,
Here's a picture of a card I made using my new Snow Pals set. I'm having fun designing a new line of character stamps. I would love to have some suggestions for additions to the new "Whimsy" collection. I'll be using these little guys in the second annual Artist Retreat at JaziCrafts in Oceanside California on Saturday November 15. I'll post some pictures of the event next week.

Cloisonne Dog
Doggone it! I seems like forever since I placed a "coming soon" spacer on my catalog page for the Cloisonné Dog. It took me a while but here he is. I'll be using the stamp at the big anniversary party at The Stamp Addict on Saturday November 22. Come by and make a free card any time between 9:30 and 11:00. See you there!
