Hoot Hoot Hooray for Owls

I've been getting out my owl stamp sets and making some adorable cards this week. I'm amazed at how popular owls are right now and not just in the stamping world either.

I saw owl things at Target yesterday, including this adorable necklace/jewelry holder that had cute owls on the branches. I needed it, but the budget does not include any more owl things. Besides, I'm saving my money for more owl stamps. <grin>

Here's a picture of my favorite owl card yet. I made it for a friend and then I had to make a bunch more since our family has SO many Spring birthdays. Sorry if you're a Spring birthday because you're probably getting one of these. LOL

Do you love owls too? If so, which Close To My Heart paper do you like to stamp your owls on? My favorite is this Lollydoodle paper. I love the paper, but I also like saying Lollydoodle. LOL

Have a stamping good day!

Retreat!

That's right . . . I've retreated with my Stamp Studio treasures to the mountains of Big Bear Lake, California. It's beautiful up here . . . mountains and trees and critters galore. I've looked. I've seen. I've photographed for more scrapbooking. LOL

Even with the distraction of the beautiful scenery, I've managed to get a lot done. One of the big accomplishments yesterday -- I completed the Workshops on the Go Frosted cardmaking kit. This kit was a breeze -- or should I say a blizzard -- to put together and the results were stunning.

The Frosted cardmaking kit is on page 69 of the new Idea Book and includes everything you need to create 15 stunning cards, even pre-cut cards and envelopes. The only things you need to add are stamp pads and acrylic blocks and some basic tools, like adhesive. Presto, bam . . . 15 cards!

If you'd like to order the kit to complete your Christmas or Holiday cards, just send me an email or leave me a comment and I'll get it to you asap. You'll love the ease and fun of this awesome kit. And that's not all! Laughing Lola (p. 68) is another cardmaking kit, plus you'll discover numerous scrapbooking kits throughout the catalog.

Enjoy! I'm off to make some more cards!
