Christmas Present for me!

 

I admit it.  I bought myself a Christmas present. I always give my family grief for doing just that very thing. I am a big Etsy fan and sometimes I'll watch the "just listed" or "just sold" scrolling bar like it is television!  I came across the art of Dean Russo and fell in love with his funky pop-art style. I bought the above Weimaraner painting the minute I saw it. Here's a link to his Etsy store if you want to see more of his art.  http://www.etsy.com/shop/deanrussoart .

Christmas Card Contest Update

 

Merry Christmas from Kersten Christianson!  Kersten created this sparkly card using the "Season of Giving" rubber stamp collection. I was happy to see a couple of new entries in my mailbox.  The grand total received is now 5.  It's a long way from 50, but I still have hope some of you will send me mail!  If you are able to post about my Contest giveaway on a blog or newsgroup, I'd appreciate some help getting the word out. I don't want to have to keep all these stamps I've made for the giveaway! Have a great Thursday!

Shelly Hickox Art

 

I was visiting my friend Shelly Hickox's blog and found this cool card she made with a stamp from Oxford Impressions' April in Paris Collection.  Shelly is a technique junkie in every sense of the word.  Here she has cleverly made paper look like metal.  I even love the little "metal" flower in the top corner. Visit her blog, StampTramp, to see more of her incredible art. 

P.S.  Shelly, I hope you don't mind me scavenging your blog! Your art is just too cool not to share!

1st Entry - Christmas Card Contest!

 

Today was a special day - I got the first entry for the Christmas Card Contest! Cindy Trobaugh is the artist. I really like how Cindy turned the least likely stamp Collection, Heart of Dixie, into a holiday card! For her creativity, and for being the first, Cindy will be getting a free unmounted rubber stamp! She will also be entered into the pool for one of the FIVE $50.00 gift certificates. Thanks, Cindy! Now, only 49 more to go! Come on, Stampers! Send me a card!
