Do you believe in Fairies? I do! I have been playing with my new rubber stamp collection, "Fairy Sweets". They are not up on the Oxford Impressions website yet, so my blog readers are the first to see them. I know, I know! They are a bit different from the usual Oxford Impressions style. It must be the peace and contentment I've been cultivating. These little stamps are so sweet! I can't wait to "frost" these new designs with glitter and sparkles.
Row House Swap - I finally have all 10 of the participant's houses. They are wonderful! I hope you will all be pleased. I will post photos later for those of you who didn't participate. I want to give the houses time to reach the players first. I'll be hosting a new swap in January, so check back if you are interested in swapping art using OI stamps.
Design Team Challenge - The design team competition closed this past week and I am happy so many people decided to try out for the team! Over 75 artists entered the competition and I am in the process of narrowing the field for voting purposes. Goodness, it is difficult!! The current design team will be voting the last week of December and our new members will be announced Jan. 1st.
Happy Holidays!!

Hate to admit -- it's the cupcake that got my attention:) That's the best cupcake stamp I've yet to see!
(Of course, the fairies are great, too:)

Thanks! It was a fun one to design. I actually bought a dozen cupcakes and spent one morning photographing them. (Spent the afternoon sampling them!) I am visualizing candles in the cupcake for birthday stuff, but mostly for use as a base with the fairies. I'm going to stamp it on cardstock and leave little tabs at the bottom to bend back so the cake will stand (hopefully). The fairies will be perched on top!

Wow. You were right Suzanne. They are really sweet. I can almost taste them...lol. (Can't wait to order them as they look like they'd be so fun to play with.) Happy Holidays!
