I Can Spell

This little cutie is now back in stock at My Paper Moon, for those of you who were wanting her. She was featured on one of Michelle Zindorf's blogs, which you can see here.

Celebration Card

Another pretty card by Shelly Hinkle using My Paper Moon stamps. The colors could be changed to reflect YOUR favorite color. :-) Here is another card made with the same flower bouquet...

Notice how it's backwards? That's because it was stamped on acetate, and the back side of the acetate was colored, then layered onto smooshed up aluminum foil.

I am thinking about getting in some COPIC Ciao marker sets for the holidays. Let me know if you would be interested. There are several sets of 12, and a set of 144, and several in between. You can email me at mypapermoon512@aol.com or just leave a comment. The prices would be discounted off MSRP, but I'm not exactly sure how much yet.

Hope you have a crafty day!

My Overweight Condition...teeheehee

Here is another cute card made by my good friend, Shelly Hinkle. She makes a lot of sample cards for me, and I had to chuckle when I saw this one. I have been on a diet (since I stopped smoking and gained weight), but I'm hopeless, because I love all the foods she has listed here. So, how can I hope to lose weight when I'm a food-a-holic? I looked into Weight Watchers, and I can't afford Nutrasystem or Jenny Craig. So, I joined an online group called Spark People. It's a free site, and has a lot of cool, wonderful tools to help you on your weight loss journey. There are groups of people with like interests, and if you can't find a group you like, you can start your own. They have goals, and incentives, and a lot of low calorie high taste recipes. I have found a weight loss buddy (and even a few stamping friends), and I think I may succeed at last. So, if you have a few pounds to shed, check them out. If you join, tell them TheGlitterQueen sent you. :-)

I'm keeping my eye on Hurricane Gustav. I don't really want him coming here...we are still dealing with the water from T.S. Fay.

Talk to you again soon...

Hope

There is always hope.This ATC was made by Shelly Hinkle, who is an excellent artist. The stamps are from My Paper Moon. The awareness ribbon stamp comes in 2 sizes and has a sheet that tells what all the different colored ribbons mean. You can buy the stamps singly or in a set

I finally got to press some rubber on Sunday. My vulcanizer resides on my screened in back porch, but with all the water we got from Tropical Storm Fay, my porch was wet and I couldn't plug the vulcanizer in. It finally dried out enough yesterday to press the stamps I needed for some orders. So if you have an order in house, it's done and ready to ship.

Hope you have a wonderful day...

Pearlized Gesso

Good evening. I hope you had a productive day today. Mine was so-so. I slept late, which I don't like to do, because then I can't go to sleep tonight, and it's just a vicious cycle, so that on Monday I don't want to get up for work. On a good note, though, it didn't rain today, so maybe everything can get dried out.

I got some new cuttlebug embossing folders today from an online store, and when I got my order I had purchased and paid for 2 of the same folder, the Holly one. So, if you would like to purchase it for what I paid for it, plus shipping to you, please email me at mypapermoon512@aol.com.

This is a card I made using a technique called Pearlized Gesso from the Technique Junkie newsletter. You can't see from the scan, but it's very shimmery from Pearl Ex that was brushed on the gesso. It's very pretty in real life.

Hope you have a crafty weekend...

Sunshine

Woohoo! The sun is out for the first time since Tropical Storm Fay paid us a visit. It's wonderful! We got over 2 feet of rain in our area, and at one point I thought I was going to have to get a boat to get off my street. For a tropical storm, she sure dumped a lot of rain in our area.



This adorable card was made by Michelle Zindorf, using the baby image, I Can Spell, from My Paper Moon. Michelle is a wonderful artist, and I'm thrilled that she uses my stamps in her tutorials from time to time. Due to the overwhelming response I got to the image, it's currently out of stock, but if you email me at mypapermoon512@aol.com, I will put you on the list to be notified when they are restocked.

I'm going out to enjoy some of the sunshine. Hope you have a crafty weekend, and we'll talk again soon.

Yikes! It's WET here!

Wow! Have we been getting some rain from Tropical Storm Fay! It started night before last, when the wind started picking up and the rain started. It gusted and stormed and rained all day yesterday, all night last night, and it's still storming today. Fay is less than 50 miles from us as I write this, and she's really showing herself. The kids were out of school yesterday, and I'm thinking they should have been out of school today, too. It's blowing more now and more steadily than it did yesterday. Not a day to be out on the roads.

I'm glad I didn't name this lady Fay. This is Rachel, and she bids you hello. This is another of the cards I made with the Making Memories paper. The "hello" are stickers that came with the paper pack. The ribbon matches more closely in real life.

I'll be back hopefully tomorrow to share another card made with the same paper.
