Welcome

Welcome to my blog! For my first post I would like to introduce you to two of my favorite sites if you don’t already know about them. My first choice for inspiration and learning is “Stamp TV” http://stamptv.ning.com/.  Gina K and her team of talented designers are great. Gina does a fantastic job at teaching different stamping techniques with her videos. A MUST see for everyone in my opinion. The product Gina uses can be purchased through Stamp TV. Gina and her team also have challenges every week where you have the opportunity to win stamps along with release party hops showcasing a new stamp release.
My second choice is Melanie Muenchinger’s blog “Hands, Head and Heart” http://melaniemuenchinger.blogspot.com/.  Melanie is senior designer for Gina K and has a wonderful book out titled “A Year in Flowers” where she illustrates the stamping and card design techniques she uses with her Coordinating stamp set “A Year of Flowers”. I just received her book and LOVE it. You can order Melanie's stamp sets and book also from Stamp TV.
I just adore the talents of the ladies and pray that you check them out.
Now, on to my journey of learning stamping and card design.
Here is my first distressed card.

While distressing is not one of my preferences I just had to give it a try to enter one of Stamp TV’s challenges and needed to make a masculine sympathy card. I don’t think it came out too bad but could use more practice as I think maybe I over stressed the card..lol. Thank you for sharing your time with me…(((HUGS)))
