***Rubber for Sale***Updated with new retired SU! stamps
I am trying to make some room and money :o) for new stamps. I have a list of stamp sets that are for sale (see extended body for the list).
Prices are without shipping. I believe Priority Flat Rate Envelopes are $4.60, FR Boxes are $8.95 within the US, or I can use regular USPS. Shipping method will be discussed after you get in touch with me... I accept Pay Pal (a fee might apply) or Money Orders.
Offers are welcome too...
I didn't have time to do a card or write a post yesterday... I had a rough morning then I had couple of appointments to go to... plus it's getting warmer and warmer in my craft room! I really need A/C up there...
Today I have another Magnolia DT card for you...
Stamps: Sailor Tilda and Rainbow (Magnolia Summer & Sea Collection 2008)... JustRite DIY Monogram Stamper...
Paper: journal white-Lace cardstock (k*i memories), dark blue (The Paper Company), light textured blue (Bazzill), Purely Pomegranate (SU!)...

Today's challenge at SCS is to make a suspension card... I started to make a card yesterday using my JustRite DIY Monogram Stamper and I thought that image would look great suspended... I just followed the directions/tutorial to make the card.
Stamps: JustRite DIY Monogram Stamper and Geometric Flowers backgrounder (Cornish Heritage Farms)...

I got this small sticker maker a while ago. I don't use it very often, but when I work with small cut outs or punched images, its a great help. I used one of my 40% coupons at Jo-Ann's so it was very inexpensive... Just a small tool that can be very handy...

I checked out the challenge at Our Creative Corner... use Basic Grey designer paper... and I had just the right card for it...
I really like my JustRite Monogram DIY Stamper set. Seeing Debbie's wonderful cards, I decided to find short provers and stamp those out.
DS had to learn a proverb every week and I kept those... so I went through them and picked this one: " A friend loves at all times"... and this is the first card I made using it... When you take the time and spell out something like this with the JustRite stamper... you want to stamp a bunch of it out at the same time so you don't have to go through all that again... it does take a while to arrange the letters... put them back...you know what I mean...

Ila/s Happy Holidays card... love the cute snowman, the lay-out, the DP, the stitching...
Krissy's Hanna card... love the dry embossed background, the cute Hanna image, and the little accessories...
Cindy's MFT sketch card... love the colors, the ice cream images, the cute buttons...
I received my first Magnolia DT package with images from the Summer & Sea 2008 Collection. I was able to make a card yesterday... my first DT Magnolia card!
I wanted to make sure that I had 3 different embellishments (brads, dewdrops, and ribbon) so it would fit challenge #14 at Cute Card Thursday.
