September Stamp of the Month

Nothing unusual in how far it is into the month before I have managed to get to upload my cards for our Stamp of the Month again. In my next life I am going to be super efficient, incredibly organised, but probably single and very boring.

In truth I can't actually take all of the blame for the delay as my supplier took ages to send my order out and then didn't include the stamp. This was despite the email stating it's importance and asking to be let know if there were any PROBLEMS!!!!!!

Getting back to the stamp - It's the Melvin Tree stamp from Hampton Art Stamps.


I've actually made 5 cards using the image, unfortunately one has been damaged whilst on display in the shop, so I will have to make another.

The one below is stamped several times beginning with the lightest colour first and then embellished with one of the scrummy Maya Road ribbon sliders.


Using the image as a resist I then brayered over it with Kaleidacolor. Gem brads are from Papermania and are on offer this month.


Getting ready for Halloween - Stamped and embossed in black and all without a hint of orange (sorry to you know who).



Just stamped this time, but what a cool background paper it makes?

I'll try and upload the last one later, I also have a layout and a card (made for my mums birthday) to put up too.

Sunday is Scrapaholic and there are still a few places left so if any of you are interested please get in touch. The kit is really quite nice and very reasonable for €15, what better way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Scrapaholic is changing over the next couple of months as one of the original ladies with whom it all began is leaving, so watch this space for anymore news.

Unfortunately, due to other commitments we have had to pull out of ScrapFest (sorry). If however, there is anyone who was hoping to get to see us and is coming from some distance you can always let me know and I will try and keep the shop open for you.

We hope the weekend is a huge success and raises a good bit and in support will be donating a Gift Voucher for the shop.

As far as the shop goes, most of you will already be receiving our monthly newsletter and will be aware that CHRISTMAS has hit the shop, if not email me to put you on our mailing list.

I think that's everything for now, I am trying to be good and update this and my website regularly but must try harder.
