Highdesert Stamper – Artistic Inkspirations

How many of you have friends, neighbors, loved ones, or know of someone who has someone overseas in the Military?? I know some people overseas, so I’m sure many of you do also.  I know how lonesome it gets over seas, and how hard it is to get things, especially hand made items!!

I am starting a group to make cards to send to the troops.  If you are in the Albuquerque area, you are welcome to join our group and help make cards to send to the Blue Star Mothers who distribute all our hand made cards to the troops.  I have attached a REGISTRATION FORM HERE for anyone who would like to sign up and come. We will have a card making session once a month on the 3rd Thursday beginning at 1:00PM.   This is open to anyone who would like to come. You must pre-register so we can get the supplies for the cards.  As supplies are exhausted, we will order more in a group order.

If you would like to do something nice for our troops, and have some fun with other stampers at the same time, please print off the registration form and mail it to me with the required payment.   I have room for 8-10 people at a time to stamp.  The stamp sessions will run from 1:00PM to ???PM. You can leave when you get tired, or run out of materials!!

Thank you for visiting my blog.

This is the last week of the month……and I have a special GIFT for the first customer who places an order with me for $75 or more.

I went out to my stamp room to make a card for the COLOR Guest Designer challenge my friend Sharon Field in Fla. has on her blog….. I got a bit sidetracked. I had been wanting to decorate some more of the little books I had found at our local drug store… someone asked where I got these since they are plain and READY to stamp and decorate.  I don’t know if they have any more in, since I bought all they had several months ago. Who knows… they may have a ton more! So go check out your local drug stores in their school supply and notebook section… you may find some treasures to decorate!  Here is my latest little book. It’s not here any more…. it sprouted wings and flew out with the mailman…someone lucky is getting a surprise!!

I tried making it bigger…. it got so big you couldn’t see the whole book on the page.. so just click on the picture and it will bring it up larger in a new window.

I used several little punches and a band of “homemade” grass.  I didn’t have any more of my favorite vanilla smooch spray (used it all up…that stuff is addictive to use, and use, and use…..)  So I tried the Champagne shimmer paint! Boy is that fun to work with!  I added a pearl from our new jazzy pearls available from SU to set off the flower a bit. What do you think??  Would you like to get one of these in the mail?
