Picture Perfect Wonderful
 
Hi Everyone,
 
I just love the new Picture Perfect Stamp Set by Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog! There are so many possibilities for color choices and styles. This multi-stamping set allows for tons of creativity. I recently joined a swap and decided to use this stamp set. I also really like the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper. I hope you like my project.
 


 
 
I think the sequins add such a nice effect. You can see the wonderful texture that the multiple layers of stamps give the hummingbird too. Here are the supplies for this project.
 
 


Washi Tape Storage Idea
 
I have been struggling with keeping my Washi Tape rolls together in sets, so I decided to share a quick and simple idea for keeping the rolls that make a set stay together. click on my video to see my tip. Also, you have a chance to win the limited time Sale-A-Bration Metallic Glitter Tape assortment by commenting or sharing my video.

March Blogging Friends Blog Hop


Welcome to March and another fun Blogging Friends Blog Hop. This month we decided to share our stamping spaces. I have to tell you mine is in shambles. I have had 3 events in one week. This might not seem like too much, but I work full time and my daughter is in two different productions right now. I cart her around and don't have time to do much organizing from after my events. I am going to let you see the mess, but I know the other bloggers will have some wonderful spaces for you to see. Mine is a converted garage into a workshop room. I have enough space for about 18 stampers at a time. 
This is 1 of 2 stamping group table set ups that I have
enough for 18 total stampers


This is where I create and cut all my projects.
I have a beautiful counter and roll drawers for my stamps
and punches


This table is where I put catalogs and new products to share


This is a closer look at the tables where stamper work.
We had a class and I was sorting our materials to be put away.


I decided to also share a recent card from my Monday night stamping class. We focused on the beautiful Rose Wonder stamp set and Thinlits. 

I love the soft yellow behind the Black Berry Bliss flower.
