Cards, Cards, Cards and an Update

Well hello there - oh boy am I behind in sharing my creations with you! I had foot surgery the beginning of the month which has left me much more tired than I expected. Darn healing process...I want instant gratification!

So, here's a whole bunch of pretty cards and ATCs with their links so you can read all about how they came to be. That should brighten anyone's Tuesday, right? ;)

A Little Hello at a2z Scrapbooking
Shake it, Pluto! at So Suzy Stamps
Ok, I think we're all caught up now. Summer is drawing to a close (not that the weather has noticed, thank goodness) and my little dude starts kindergarten in just a few weeks. Wowza! Maybe by then I'll stop feeling like I'm playing catch-up all the time.

I've started booking fall craft shows as well, though the sidebar needs updating. I'm sending a batch of stuff off to the annual Champlain Valley Expo in Vermont. If you're anywhere near there, take a day and go - it's pretty amazing!

All right, til next time - happy crafting!

Under the Sea with So Suzy Stamps

Good morning everyone! We're all singing 'Under the Sea' today over at So Suzy Stamps as it's all about the Sea Critters. We released so many new stamps last month Suzy is taking a small break this month to focus on these little previously released cuties. Of course, if you're looking for some new bling, the shop now carries The Ton sequins and bling!! Yahoo!

I've been having fun swapping pocket letters and have one coming up that is all about Under the Sea. I love using my stamps to create embellishments, and this time was no different. What better than the sweet Little Fish and Polka Dot Fish swimming amid the seaweed?


I love how cute these guys came out! The seaweed and starfish I cut with my Silhouette Cameo and the fishies were stamped and fussy cut out, then simply glued down to the seaweed paper. A few seashells and some bling made these pockets super fun.


I think I'll be tucking in some extra fish as a treat so the recipient can use them on another project.

Since it's the first of the month, that means free shipping all day and our new challenge is live! The theme this month is, you guessed it, Sea Critters!

Ooo, and in keeping up with the latest technology, So Suzy Stamps is now on Periscope!

It is a fun app you can download for free on your iPhone, iPad or Android phone so you can watch short little video clips from So Suzy Stamps, INCLUDING sneak peeks new products! The videos do delete after 24 hours and they can also be viewed from online via a link that Twitter releases after a video has been created. Of course, you can still follow us on Facebook, IG and Twitter as well. And you really should, otherwise you miss things like me visiting Suzy for a whole week!!
