Hello all,

here I am back from a vacation-induced stamping hiatus. I am ready to get back into the swing of things soon. Photos of my stamping studio will be forthcoming. But first, a photo of an old card and not a very good photo at that!

Stamper's Anonymous stamp. Distressed with T!m Holtz's Mustard Distress Ink pad. Stampin Up flower stamp.

Back next week with more to share.

Really, I haven't been AWOL, just busy! Trying to complete my stamping studio (sounds lots better than craft/crap room, don't you think?) has taken much more time than I thought! I will search my "archives" for a card to post. It will most likely be so old for me not to remember any details about it! Here we go....

This is a card from my collection. Stamp set -Stampin Ups "Best of Cluck"

Sentiment-that spongy stamp set at the craft store purchased for next-to-nothing!

paper-cranberry crisp, green gable from SU. DP-that giant pack from Costco a few years ago. Ribbon-Dollar bin at Mikes.

So there you go!

blogging-day 2

Hi everyone! I am going to attempt to download a photo. This is a card I made quite sometime ago. I am posting this one because I have no photos of new ones! My stamping studio is coming along nicely, hope to paint this evening. I have itchy fingers from not creating anything for 2 weeks! Can hardly wait to get inky again!

supplies used: handmade amate paper from Oaxaca, Mexico; Stampin Up stamps from Flores Misticos set

new blogger here, watch out!

Hello all you stampers out there. This is Melinda coming to you from California. New to this blogging stuff, I will attempt to make it interesting. My computer skills are a work in progress, so bear with me in this new endeavor.
