It's called: 

POOF!

It was fun making this card because I cut apart the star cluster in the "Wizardry" set and just stamped it all over to create some fun "magic" on the card.  I really like the layout and of course...love the bling.  Maybe you can eve see my doodled swirls in there...

Hope you have a wonderful week and be sure to join the fun and you just may win a stamp set!!!

I'm Published...and a Giveaway!

Yipee, I can now post the card that was recently published in Stamp It! Techniques special issue magazine!!!  The magazine is now available for purchase on newsstands everywhere, so make sure you check it out! 

I received my complimentary magazine the other day and just had to flip through the pages to see where it was going to show up and to see who my stamping "neighbors in publication" were going to be.  I've loved paging through the magazine to see some fabulous projects and tutorials and I can say that I do have some ultimate favorites for sure.  I'm sure if you've seen the magazine, you have some favorites too!   I also had to look for my stamping "sisters" who I congratulate whenever I see their work published too. 

To Celebrate my card being featured on page 81, I'm going to give a little prize away!  Read the bottom of my post for the GIVEAWAY DETAILS...

So when I read the details posted in the magazine, I noticed they made a HUGE error and I felt very bad for Woodware USA who has been trying to build their new company-and promote their stamps from the bare bones...The stamps I used are (of course) the WIZARDRY set from WOODWARE USA, not from the company mentioned in the credits.  I emailed the publisher.  She kindly replied and said that an error correction will be posted on their website, along with my card again when they have their February Stamping Techniques events.  Not sure how much that will help Woodware USA now, but I guess that's about the only thing that can be done.  I just feel so bad for Woodware USA to not have gotten the credit in the first place. 

This was the original card sent in for consideration.  I was also asked to create an alternate version of the card, or another interpretation...so the second card below shows the same theme, just a LONG layout instead.  I think both card designs are simple but effective...Easy, peasy!

GIVEAWAY DETAILS: 

I will pick ONE lucky winner to receive THEIR CHOICE of one WOODWARE USA stamp set that will be shipped directly to you from Woodware USA-My treat!
