Secondly, did everybody see this beauty by Trudee?? I loved it, and decided to make my own version. First I cut a 3" square, then daubed mustard and white chalk into the square. Next, I stamped the leaves, leaving the mask on. I coloured them in really rust reinker. I decided to do this on kraft paper because I thought the chalk reverse mask would show up better. I don't, thankfully, need a sympathy card, but I thought this design worked well for the theme, and then the next time I need one, I don't need to concentrate on making one.
Thirdly, my PaperTrey stamps arrived! Unfortunately, for the first time EVER in my ordering crafty stuff from the U.S., I got customs charges. I feel that if I am ordering a product that is made in the USA, that CANNOT be bought anywhere in Canada, I should not have to pay Canadian taxes on that product. Of course, I also think that with them recently raising the 48-hour limit spending amount, they should have also adjusted the postal allowances. Okay, rant over :D New stamps!

Sharing?
I do NOT have this product in hand, like I said I am waiting on my sampler. However, is this something anybody would be interested in? I want all the colours of that lovely 5/8 ribbon, but I really don't need 100 yards of each. I would happily take 10 yards though, especially if it's only going to cost me 37 cents a yard versus 90 cents a yard.
I'm not looking into doing shares a lot. There are a few other items I am eyeing for potential shares (like the coffee pound bags a la PaperTrey Ink), I'm just trying to save a little money, and pass the savings onto a few others!
Friendship Bag

Start with a piece of paper 5.5x11.75. Score across at 1.5 inches. Now, score at these intervals: .75, 1.5, 2.25, 6.25, 7, and 7.75. Cut off the first rectangle (the 1.5x.75 piece). If you decide to do handles, I found that marking a 2-inch line in the top center of the 4x4 panels gave a good guide. I used the elastic cord from the upcoming Holiday Mini. That stuff is amazing, it keeps it's shape! Assemble box-style! I attached magnets to the top to serve as a closure.
This set is a Lizzie Anne Designs set, Au Naturale, that I got from Jacksonbelle-Embellishments
I coloured the images with markers, reinkers, and an aquabrush. I outlined the butterfly and leaves with a 10% cool grey prismacolor marker. I will eventually make 3x3 note cards that match the main design to include in the bag.

Here's a card I made this morning. I felt like doing some watercolouring. I stamped several flwoers from Oh, So Lovely, then went about colouring them in. After they were dry, I carefully outlined them with a grey marker. I used the 10% Cool Gray by Prismacolor. I decorated the card front using textured Soft Sky, as well as some of the Rose Red argyle from the Palette of Prints. It's a close match to Pomegranate. I finished it off with some twill. I was going to knot the twill, but it makes such a thick knot, and then I couldn't center the main image as I wanted to.

Did you know that it's almost my 1-year stamping blog anniversary? I can't believe it's been that long!
I've also been messing around with my template. When I switched over a while back, a bunch of custom HTML and other links disappeared. So I was just adding those all back in. I also finally got my picture to be a non-distorted size on my page (yay!)
Boo!
