March Stamp of the Month

I have been MIA for awhile.  My Mom fell and broke her pelvis so I went to California help her.  While with her I had time to play.  Here is a card I made with the March stamp "Sensational Seasons".  I have to admit I wasn't thirlled when I first saw this stamp, but when I started to stamp with it I was hooked...these bunnies are just to stinkin' CUTE:)

I used the new Sophia paper pack, Pear, Blush, Chocolate, Black and Outdoor Denim ink pads.  To color this little cutie I used my blending pen and picked up color from the lid of my stamp pads, since I did not have my pens.

 It is good to be home!  Thanks for hopping by:)

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Inspired Stamps

As I promised here is a card I made using some Inspired Stamps.  Mind you I have not been practicing with my Copic markers so my coloring is not so good but the stamps are beautiful.

I won..I won...again!!

Oh boy I cannot believe I won again.  This time it was on Inspired Stamps Blog.  This is a blog and stamp company of a fellow CTMH consultant who has quit to start her own stamp company .  Her company is all faith based clear stamps.  She has some really awesome stamps.  She had asked for our favorite bible verses, which if chosen she would make into stamps.....Mine was one of the four chosen...woohoo.  Here's my winning entry:

 Jean M said... I have a couple. the first is 2 Corinthians 5:8 "We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord." I love this verse for Sympathy cards

Please check out Antoinette's website Inspired Stamps.

Thank you Antoinette:)

I will post a card I made using some of her amazing stamps later:)
