Looking for Inspiration

Oh, my stamping desk is so lonely! I haven't stamped much of anything in what seems like months! And the few things I have created, well, I just don't like the end result! I need inspiration! I need stamping friends! I need more current stamp sets & less retired sets!

That's all I have for now. Hopefully I'll have pictures to post in my next post! Thanks!

Here's What MY Money Looks Like

Here's what my well earned money looks like!

The first collection is what $150 looks like in stamp terms.

And this is what $303 looks like in the world of stamps!

Now all I need is the time to use is stuff!

Just one question? Does anybody view my blog, or am I the only one?
OK Maybe two questions. Why can't I enter text in my Title box?

I received my very first Splitcoaststampers Blog RAK! I am so excited! Nancy made this card, and here's her blog: http://www.nancyscreativemess.blogspot.com Go see what she's made!

Thanks, Nancy! I love the card! I've been inspired to add rhinestones to my cards! I'm off to the store!

The Teacher's Tin

And here's the tin I made for my son's teacher. I used the Stampin' Up Polka Dots & Paisley stamp set and On Board Accents for the chipboard frame. The paisley paper is from Making Memories. I love the color combination. I used a tin from Oriental Trading Company.

Gettin' the hang on tins

....................................................................................................................

I think I'm finally getting the hang of these lunch tins! If only I could realize that I don't have to use two different papers! I have a great time making them and they make great gifts. I make six matching file tabs and include several hand stamped cards. It's like two gifts in one! And I found the younger girls in my neighborhood love to use the tins to carry all their treasures! .......................................................................................................................................................... I've even seen a few little girls carrying bugs in their tins! What ever makes them happy, I suppose!

This particular tin, I made for my son's reading teacher. I used the paper from the SAB Simply Scrappin' Kit! It's so girly! I'm sure her daughters have already claimed this tin! I'll hear about it in the fall!

My new love!

Introducing Sir! I met him at the Humane Society this weekend, and I fell in love! I'm ready to adopt him, but he apparently doesn't fit into my husband's schedule. I'm going to be nice, and not say the really mean things that I'm thinking, and feeling right now! If you need a new dog, Sir is wonderful! He is seriously potty trained! Like no other shelter dog I've ever seen! He actually held everything for over 24 hours, and waited until he got to a grassy area to take care of business! Twenty four hours! I hope somebody adopts him soon! He deserves an excellent home, and I wish I was able to give it to him! Poor me. Back to the stamp room! No, it's still a disaster area! Oh! Maybe if I keep my room clean, and promise to clean up after Sir, and walk him every day, and remember to feed to him, maybe then I can bring him home! Hpmh!
