I know, I know...it's been awhile. Summer is here, CHA is around the corner and I haven't posted on my blog. Once I get past the rush of project for the tradeshow I will be here in full force. It is difficult to juggle it all sometimes. I have Big plans when things slow down. I have a pile of kit leftovers from past classes and I am going to create and post projects and instructions for those as I create them. I have many events and classes to talk about for the fall. There is the cruise to discuss (how much fun will that be?!?!?). Scrapfest U, are you coming along to play?? My new thirst for better photos and a fresh look at that creative endeavour. I want to clean my house. I crave the time to organize (I really do enjoy organizing, it's one of my quirks). I want to talk about Dee's Scrapbook Store in Ft Myers in August. Like I said...I have lots to discuss...but life and work has a nasty way of interrupting!! I just need the time. And the sunshine has been calling me...
I did want to talk about this...
I am a HUGE fan of Hero Arts stamps and use them in many of my projects and classes. I love that they are green and made in the US. On top of that, they have wonderful images and the choices are endless!! If you haven't been over to the Hero blog, you need to check it out!! They are giving away lots of prizes starting on Monday and the big unveiling of the site and blog improvements is coming on Wednesday, July 15th!! There is a hint in the blinkie and I think it has to do with the word "WIDE", what do you think??
To add to the excitement I will give away a Hero Arts Stamp that is near and dear to my creating heart! I use it in almost every class I teach and I have endeared this little guy to many others! It is the SCRIPT stamp , of course!!!
All you have to do is post a comment and I will draw a name on Monday night.
I am going to leave you with a few photos I took this week...
Have a great weekend!!! and Don't forget to go to the Hero Blog and post here!!!
Ohhh How much do I love that stamp. I have always wanted a script stamp and never had one. That one would be a perfect intro to using them for my loved but ever elusive vintage style.
