March Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring March's SOTM, which is Potential, a set of 8 stamps. This set has some wonderful flourishes and sayings.  I really enjoyed using this stamp set. Two stamps have a coordinating Cricut shape, which I love. It is just a great all around set.

2 More Postcards to Share

I received 2 more postcards from the International Mixed Media Postcard Swap.  The first one is from Eloise.  I LOVE the beautiful bright colors and layering.  Isn't it beautiful and cheery?  Love it!!

The next one is from Susan Adams.  Another beauty...I love all of the amazing ephemra, layers and of course the great qoute.  It says "Cherish yesterday, dream tomorrow, live today."


Here's the back....it's just as beautiful as the front!

I've Got Mail

WooHoo..I have started receiving my swaps from the International Mixed Media Postcard Swap.  I just have to share the amazing pieces of art I have received so far. 
This one was made by Jenna Kannas.  I love the the bright cheerful colors and she encased it in a plastice envelope...so clever. I have not cut open the envelope yet..I am hesitant to open it....so the picture really does not so how pretty this is..I will have to get another picture when I open it.  It says "May your dreams be BIG and VIBRANT!"  Love it!!!
Here it is "unwrapped" It was hard to cut that cute envelope open but I did it carefully so I can put it back in;)  It is glittery so the picture still has somewhat of a glare...you will just have to come and see it in person! 


This card was made by Cindy McMath.  Another amazing colorful card.  I love the saying "Strange is beautiful"...I totally agree;)



This card was made by Marie Z. Johansen.  The detail on this card is amazing and the saying is another winner in my book  "We are all just a little cracked"

Thank you ladies...I am in awe of your talent!!!!  I am so thankful I entered this swap. I will post more when I receive them.

Thanks for hopping by:)

Too Cute

So, I am a bit (well maybe more than a bit) technically challenged, but I am going to try pinning this picture to Pinterest........my Facebook buddy Lisa has given me some instructions (written) and being a visual person written instructions sometimes throw me!!!!  So here goes...my picture is of our dear sweet CUTE Charley when he was a younger pup..he like myself is a bit "fluffier" now, but still cuter than a bug's ear;)


Thanks for hopping by......I did it!!!!!  Thank you Lisa Pierce, Queen of all things technical:)
