New Happenings
Through a client I was introduced to Dolce Stamps and Cards in Northgate. I'm assisting them in driving business to their website and store. I guess you could call me a consultant. I will also be part of their design team, which they are looking to start in the next week or two. Exciting stuff for me. Look for more cards and projects in the upcoming days and weeks.

More than a year? Wow!
The last few days I've spent way too much time surfing other ladies blogs for creative inspiration. I really envy those of you out there that are able to spend your days crafting. Since I work full-time, I have to figure how to fit it in with an already busy life. I commit to publishing my creations as much as I can. Since I started this blog as a place to sell crafts I have, I thought I could also share my creations so others can have some inspiration.
Last Friday I went to the wonderful, A muse Stamps (www.amuseartstamps.com) in the Greenwood area of North Seattle. There I found beautiful stamps that I really wasn't familiar with until my blog surfing of late. They have really adorable stamps and embellishments. I felt pretty fortunate to get away with only a $55 tab. I did end up getting 4 stamps for $4 bucks though! They have a weekly 'blue light special' where each stamp is $2 each. I bought both, plus they had a free basket when you spent $25. I lucked out and got two free ones. So even though I spent a few dimes, I feel I came out ahead. I can't wait to work with them.
Right now I'm working on a full-card swap with 11 other ladies. The themes are birthday and baby or wedding. Everyone will make a b-day card and either a baby or wedding card. I'm going with the baby theme, but instead of a traditional baby card, I'm doing a 'happy pregnancy' card for expectant mothers with the Stampin UP set 'Swell News'. I just love this set and haven't used it yet. When she's all done I'll post here. For the birthday card I'm doing a masculine card. When we did the birthday swap before, no one had very masculine colors, so I'm trying to go outside my comfort zone. This is definitely a challenge! It's good for me though because I really like to make my honey cards.
