Over The Moon Monday - Meet the rest of the ladies

Good morning! I hope you had a restful weekend.  I attended a bar-b-q cookoff on Saturday, and my nephew took home first place in ribs.  And they were good.  There were quite a few teams competing, so I got to sample a lot of food, and his truly were the best.  I also work for him at my day job, so I'm sure he will have a swelled head...lol. But I do love it when he brings lunch...he's a good cook.

Today I want to introduce you to the rest of the new images at My Paper Moon. I think you will like these ladies, too.

This is Winnie.

 

And Uma comes to us from India

This regal lady is Nefertiti, but she really needs to introduction.

And this is Bessie, who could be a flapper, or just an elegant lady.

Millie is an old-fashioned kind of gal, one of the early settlers, maybe.

and Athena has had poetry written to her

Yuki is a gracious geisha

And finally, here is Anna, who is a beauty.

I hope you have enjoyed meeting all my beautiful new ladies.  This is the last week they will be 10% off.  Next week we will be back to our regularly scheduled programming.

I hope you have a great week.  Do something crafty!

Over The Moon Monday - New Stamps

• Good morning and welcome to another Over The Moon Monday. I'm so glad the weather has returned to more normal temperatures in Florida. Everything is brown from the freeze last weekend, but it will mostly come back green.
• I am excited to announce that the new Valentine stamps are now available at My Paper Moon. You can see them here. With that being said, let's get to today's card, which is very simple.

Here is a card featuring one of the new stamps.

• I inked the Queen playing card stamp by coloring with a red marker, and coloring the outline with a black marker. I stamped it on glossy cardstock and cut out.
• I covered white A2 cardstock with the red polka dotted paper.
• I rounded 2 corners of scrap red cardstock and adhered to the card.
• I rounded 2 corners of some black polka dotted paper and adhered to the red.
• I punched 3 small hearts and adhered to the black paper.
• I stamped "the" on red paper, cut out and adhered to the background.
• I stamped QUEEN on scrap cardstock and punched out with a small circle punch. I adhered them with pop dots.
• I adhered the playing card with pop dots.
• I stamped a sentiment inside and viola! I was done.

I hope you have enjoyed today's card. I will have another next week. Until then, I hope you get to do something crafty.

Rain, Rain Go Away...and maybe a new contest...tell me what you think.

I couldn't resist the cat and the sentiment (which you can purchase here.) They seem like they were made to go together, even though the cat image actually says "It's a Cattitude". I just masked that part when I stamped the cat. He looks really red in the scan, but he's brown in real life. This sentiment is very correct, too. I have 2 furbabies (I should say fur tzars) and they rule the roost. They tolerate us, only because we open their packets of food.

How's the weather where you live? I've been busy doing work on my computer all day, which is just as well, it's been raining here all day. I plan on doing a little stamping later on. I have a couple of projects started, and I really would like to finish them. Have you worked on anything today? Leave me a comment and let me know what you've been up to.

As I said earlier, I was working today, entering orders that I've already shipped into the computer, and I noticed there are some really cool street names out there. We could have a contest for stamps for the coolest street name. Everyone could submit their street name, then we could have a poll and vote for the coolest. The winner would receive a bag of stamps. Leave a comment and let me know if you would like to participate. Just leave your street name. I don't need the number, just the name of the street. Now, you have to be honest with your street name, because that's where I'm going to mail your stamps if you win. ;0)

Hope you get some crafting done. Talk to you again soon....

More New Images

I got up early this morning so I would have time to make a few cards and get them posted. I had quite a few requests for patriotic/support stamps, and I was happy to oblige.

All images © My Paper Moon unless otherwise noted.

The awareness ribbons come in two sizes. This one is the small one and is perfect on an ATC or envelope. The larger one can be seen below and is perfect for a card. They can also be purchased as a set. Each stamp or set comes with a sheet with all the colors and what they mean.

I loved this quote the first moment I ever heard it, and knew that someday it would be on a stamp. I think everyone should live this way.

This is the large awareness ribbon stamp. I stamped it on pink linen cardstock and cut it out.

Angel hugs. What could be sweeter than that? I am a Soldier's Angel, and I always write this on the cards I send to the wounded soldiers.

The flower stamp is by Hero Arts.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and find time to get some crafting done. Until we talk again...

New Poll and New Stamps!

Take a minute to answer the poll on the left side of this page. It could be very lucrative for you to do so....

New stamps are here and ready to ship! Woohoo! I couldn't wait to get them on the website so I could play with them, but I managed. They are under "Rubber Stamps" and in the New Images category. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

These are some cards I put together quickly just so you could see...

Sandpipers

This is my Gibson Girl and she comes in 2 sizes, small and large. This is the large size.

I have had several requests to make some patriotic stamps for the angels who send cards and letters to the troops, and I gladly obliged.

So, all in all, this has been a very good Friday the 13th for me. :-)

I hope you have a great weekend. I plan on stamping.

I'm excited!

Hello! It's been a little while since I posted, and I apologize.

Since my last post, it's:

• been Mother's Day (I got a dozen roses from my kids)


• been hectic at work (my brother is gone....whoopee!)


• and tomorrow is my birthday, along with my youngest granddaughter's birthday (how cool is that?)

Emilie, will be 5 years old tomorrow, and she's excited. Her older sister just turned 11 the 6th of the month, and since that time Emilie has thought it was her birthday every day. I can remember the day she was born, she was the best birthday gift I ever got.

Here she is riding on a giant slug that was in an exhibit at McKee Jungle Gardens. I'm thinking that she needs to spend the night with me tonight and we can go to breakfast tomorrow morning and wear my tiara and have a grand birthday.

But all that is NOT why I'm excited. I have just completed putting together another stamp plate, and I'm really happy with this one. There are patriotic stamps, as well as 2 sizes of awareness ribbons (one is perfect for envelopes and one is perfect for the card). Also an ATC stamp for the back of an ATC, and several saying stamps, as well as some odds and ends. Now to send it off to the engraver. Then get the rubber pressed and onto the website.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Talk to you soon!

New Images Coming Soon!

I'm excited! New stamps coming soon! These stamps fit perfectly on a domino and there are 17 to choose from. I have the plates all made, I just have to put them on the website, which I will try to do this week.
