Market Street Stamps - March Release

Today I am giving you a little taste of each of the new stamp sets and backgrounds from Market Street Stamps!

First, let's take a gander at the AWESOME background...ZEBRA PRINT!


How fun is that???

I immediately fell in love with it the second I saw it. It is so fun!
{And although I've stamped it in black, don't limit yourself to black and white only. Go WiLd with that Zebra Print Background!}


You may also spy that fun sentiment *cough* Hippie Chic *cough*.

And take a peek at those buttons...there's a little hint of Vintage Music shining through!


The sentiment got a quick and easy treatment thanks to some Spellbinders dies and I topped everything off with some twine from The Twinery.



And next up is FASHIONISTA! This is such a fun set...even for a girl like me who does NOT wear high heels!


I did some stamp masking {or is it mask stamping?} to create the background and then used that cute sentiment to finish it off.



Hope you enjoyed the peeks! Stay tuned for the full reveal of the stamp sets tomorrow on the Market Street Stamps blog!
{And have fun shopping at Market Street Stamps tomorrow night at midnight!}

Past, Present, and Future

Six months ago I had not been a full time Design Team Member for any company.
Today, I am currently designing projects for two fabulous manufacturers and one online store:
{The Twinery}
{Market Street Stamps}
{A Walk Down Memory Lane}

Six months ago I had never had anything accepted for publication in a print magazine.
But...six months ago I received my first ever acceptance e-mail from an editor at Paper Crafts Magazine requesting two of my projects for publication!

It seemed like forever waiting for the day when I would be able to see my work in print...TODAY is the day!

{You can pick up a copy here}

Beginning with this issue I am scheduled to have at least one project published in print each month for the next six months.
All together I am scheduled to have 12 projects printed in 9 publications from from 2 major publishing companies...it is truly a dream come true!

Here's a peek at one of my projects from the Paper Crafts Special Issue: 350 Cards and Gifts.


{You'll have to pick up a copy to see my other project and the rest of the awesome projects in the issue. My projects are on pages 52 & 91.}

I have always loved crafting and I thank God for blessing me with these fabulous opportunities.

I may never have anything published again...or maybe I will.
For now, I am just enjoying the blessings I have been given and looking forward to what else the future might bring!

Hello Sunshine

Twine is hot right now in crafting and AWDML carries a fabulous selection!
Let's take a look at the awesome twine from The Twinery...


What you may notice about the twine from The Twinery is that it is very colorful. Traditional bakers twine generally has one strand of color twisted with 3 strands of white. The Twinery's twine has double the color to add a great pop of color to your cards and layouts.
The Twinery's twine is 100% cotton and eco-friendly so you don't have to save it just for paper crafting. It is perfect for packaging baked goods, wrapping gifts, and you can also mix it into your party decor.
{And here's a little bonus - The Twinery's twine is all made in the USA.}

For this card I've tied the Caribbean twine in a bow and used it to top off the "i" - what will you do with your twine?


Here's a sketch for you sketch lovers:


Supplies:
Patterned Paper: Doodlebug Designs - Various Orange Accent Papers
Letter Stickers: American Crafts - Thickers
Twine: The Twinery - Caribbean
Pen: Ranger - Opaque White Pen
Tools: EK Success/Martha Stewart - Scoring Board; Fiskars - Paper Trimmer
