Any Project Lifer's out there? I really like the look and concept of Project Life. If you aren't familiar with this style of scrapbooking you can visit Beck Higgins website and learn more. You can also take a look at a few of Kelly Xenos's Project Life pages. I love the style of her pages and I am so happy to have her on the design team working with my stamps. Here are some of the first few pages Kelly has done with the stamps.

Week 42

stamps used: Happy Mail, Scalloped Circle & Beaded Deco Circle - Journaling

Kelly used gold embossing and glitter for her stamped images on both pages. You can see how the "hello" banner looks embossed below.

I can't wait to see Kelly's Thankgiving pages. She is also doing a December Daily which should be lots of fun too.

Happy Monday!

It will probably be a quiet few days on the blog here with Thanksgiving coming up. I have lots and lots of cooking to do. I hope to find a few minutes to set up some Black Friday specials for the weekend. Fingers crossed. I will have some great cards and stamped projects to show you all weekend long. Mark your calendars! In the meantime, here are a few to enjoy!

A Few More New Things

Happy Sunday everyone! I just got done adding more new stamps to the website. There is a great set called This Is December for those of you who do Project Life, December Daily and any other holiday scrapping. The set is perfect for cards as well!

This is December

How about a few new sentiments to spice up your collection?

Scripty Holiday Sentiments

There are also new holiday stamps from Carolyn Draws! Here are a few of them but visit the website to see the entire release.

Holiday Sweets

Bundle Up

I have also added a mounting product called Tack n' Peel to the website. It is a cling sheet that you use on your acrylic blocks for unmounted stamps. I have happily been using this for a little while now. You can see Therese use it here in one of her videos.

Last Call...

Just a reminder that today is the last day to save 25% when you purchase the entire Winter Wishes! stamp collection by Stacey Yacula.

I have received quite a few emails letting me know how excited you are about the collection. It is apparent by how many of you have purchased the stamps. However, the personal emails are nice to read. I also enjoy reading all the praises about the cards I have been sharing from the design team. Shall I share a few more?
