Skating through the hop?

If you are on the Paper Makeup Hop, then you would have just left Ginger's Blog.  If not, start at the beginning for the discount code along the way!

This elegant skater makes a nice card for my neighbor who is learning to become a figure skater too!  All papers used are from the Paper Temptress.  Lots of shimmery and cool card stocks make this Ice Princess come alive.  Before you skate off to Randee's blog for the next PMS creation, here is the next icicle in this month's code:

Here's a sweet new Moody for Reading!   

Although, if you got a new Kindle or Nook for Christmas, you're going to have to stay old school for your stamping images!  All cardstocks used on this card can be found at Paper Temptress.  For more sneak peeks of Moodys today, be sure to check out the Paper Makeup Blog. There are TWO new moodies being released this month!

Challenges:  MOJO172, TLC306



New a few times over!

Kitchen Sink Stamps is my newest "favorite" stamp company.  Okay, I know, I know...I have a lot of "favorite companies.  But each "favorite" is a favorite for a reason. KSS happens to have these awesome multistep stamps that create the most amazing photorealistic images...when you line up the stamps correctly! haha.

As the new year was ushered in, KSS opened their brand new forums/website. And today I stumbled upon a "10 Minute Card" challenge. I know my mom thinks I stamp all day long. But I do not. In fast, this is the only card I stamped today. 

Yes, it took a few more minutes long than 10...b/c this Peach set is new to me so I had to experiement. And frankly, I'm sure the "10 minutes" must start after you know exactly what papers images you are using!  All papers can be found at Paper Temptress. 

Take a peek...

and then start writing out your January Wishlists!  Paper Makeup Stamps now releases new stamps every other month. So, you are sure to put in a big order in January!!

We've got some new Retro Cutie Critters...this one is the most adorable feret I have ever seen. (And I really do not like these animals...so to find one that is actually "cute" is a bonus!)  Be sure to scurry on over to the PMS blog for more sneak peaks this week!

More Days of Christmas...

I just didn't have time to use these delightful Nativity stamps from Starving Artistamps, so I'm really glad to have the opportunity now.  The Daily Dare's 12 Day's of Christmas has some awesome, awesome prizes!!  I'd be stingy to not let you know...that you should hurry up and get some done!  The sponsers have been really generous.  But then again, if you don't play, then I'll have a better chance of winning! haha. 

ALSO...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

My kids are mostly still abed. So it's been a very peaceful start! haha.  Now it's time to get DD going on that diorama!
