Rubbernecker stamps - Flowers In The Breeze

I wasted no time. I came right home from the expo and had to play with all my new purchases. I whipped out my watercolor paper and a bunch of inks. I even went to the company's web site and watched a video on the new stamp I purchased. The company's name is: Rubbernecker stamps. Take a look:



 Aren't they amazing? I love the frames too! I know these photos are not the best. I had to take the photos inside. I wanted to post these quickly. There are many more to come! Thanks for dropping in! I can't wait to create some more!

I came, I saw, I totally enjoyed myself!

I had a great time at Stampfest today! I found a handful of great products that I just could not live without. Take a look!
Rubbernecker stamps make the best watercolor flower stamps EVER! This is my second flower stamp set I have purchased from this company. I met the man who designed these stamps. I love them! This one image takes four stamps to create. I even bought the frame stamps to go with them (see below) They look like they are hand drawn!

I picked up one more pack of pens, and mini pads. All colors I don't have.


 I wanted the flip flop die from PTI, but I found one from Impression Obsession!


 I needed TINY positive sentiments for my cards. These are perfect!


 I am so tired of refilling the small misters, so I picked up this hefty one!

The endless lines, and arm loads of stamps other customers were buying made me undeniably jealous, but also very sad. I even over heard one woman say "Please, don't tell me the total, I don't want to know." and she handed over her credit card to the vendor. Like.....Really?

I had a great time browsing and seeing some new trends emerging today. I have officially over-spent my crafting budget, but I have SO much card making to get done! Stay tuned to see some awesome creations!

StampFest - Lakeland

I am so excited! I have another awesome crafting event to attend this weekend. (I have to limit my funds because of last weekend.)



My mother-in-law lives in Lakeland, and I hope to drop in on her and spend some time with her before heading home. I will let you know what goodies I come home with!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day!

As I mentioned yesterday, I bought a bunch new stuff at the sidewalk sale at Whim-so doodle. The denim background stamp was perfect for Father's day cards! I found a post online that helped me make this card:


I love how this turned out. I think the picture actually helps with the realism of the seam. I totally had fun creating this card for my husband. (I even wrote a mushy love-y dove-y message on the inside of the card)

Enjoy your day and thanks for dropping in!

Sidewalk Sale at ~Whim So Doodle~!

Happy Saturday!

I think I am the luckiest girl in the world! I mean it! I am 45 minutes away from the BEST Scrapbooking/Cardmaking store in the state! Whim So Doodle. Twice a year they hold a SIDEWALK sale, where crafters can sell their unwanted goodies at amazing prices! Take a look at all the items I picked up today!


The photo isn't the best. This top photo is all the paper packs and stacks I bought. Of course many of them are used, a few pages are gone, but some are unopened. Those 6 in the bottom left are UNOPENED Stampin up! card stock. There is more SU! paper on the right in the three zip bags. That pile running in the middle are all mini paper packs (15 packs in total) Most are unopened. Three are Mulberry (never seen those before.....like fabric paper)


This second photo is hard to see. There is: Lots of bling and rhinestone packs, two retired, but new SU! stamps, four acrylic stamp sets, bag of stickers. a days of the week paper pad, a container of eyelets, a bottle of Matte adhesive, two stamp pads (SU! Taken with Teal and Kaleidoscope) and....wait for it..... FOUR NEW MINI DISTRESS INKS!!

Are you ready for the total cost of all these goodies. Both pictures, (placing hand on my heart) ..............I am not lying: .................$41.00!

I know this because I took out $40 at the ATM before I got there, and used four quarters from the bottom of my purse in a pinch.  Can you believe it? What a rush!
