A Potpourri Monday

Hello, everyone! Here's a bunch of fun and different things today.

1. THE CONTEST: I think I may have freaked out some people with my collection of stamps, so I'm going to offer a choice of two collections-I call one (that I posted yesterday) the non-traditional set, and the one I put together tonight, traditional. You'll see I've got some fun Holiday ones as well as some fun images that have an "open" space which is perfect to include a picture or photo. Some of the companies are Effie Glitzfinger's (an oldie but a goodie), Magenta, Impression Obsession. SO, the winner will have the CHOICE! I've only had a few comments posted! No one wants stamps!?

2. Here is a great sample Caroline Lau shared with me. She's one of the owners of one of my favorite companies, Maya Road. She made a pumpkin by using one of her foundation circles and a chipboard comma from Heidi Swapp. clever or what!? See how much fun this looks with the Tim Holtz(tm) Distress Crackle Paint? She then added a bit of matching Distress Ink over it. This helps make the cracks become more prevalent and "pop"! I love, love, love their chipboard. I'm going to continue you through the journey of the Cat Book through the week. I've also not forgotten about the Ink Techniques with the roses in vase stamp!

3. Last, but not least, I was psyched to get an email from Joan Miller today. My knotted necklace with her bead is posted on one of her pages. She also has an awesome bunch of birds that I MUST HAVE. The Robin, of course...duh!

Well, off to do more soldering. I'm on a bit of a roll. Enjoy the evening!

Inkingly,

Robin

I like the traditional one too. But I think I would still want to win the non-traditional set :) I guess I'm a non traditional type of person.

Hugs, Liz MOCHA

Hi, Robin,

I was referred to your blog my the Ms. Fabulous Rebecca Peck via her blog, where I LOVE to hang out ;), and I also know "of" you through having met Jen Starr at the workshops she gave in Javea, Spain this past May.
(Someday I will be a Ranger U graduate, hopefully the first person living in Spain to do so ;)

Sunny greetings from Barcelona!

wow, I honestly didn't think that the crackle paint would actually crackle that much, I like it!

Hi
My Aussie friend Rachel Greig mentioned your site on her blog so here I am and I intend to stay - I just loooovvvveee your work.

The stamps would be nice too but hopefully I can learn some new stuff (not that that would be too difficult as I am very much a semi-newbie!).
cheers
Janet
