Bidding on each set will begin at $1 and will go until Friday June 25, 2010, 8 pm Eastern time . There will be a minimal shipping charge to send the stamp sets. If you “win” more than one stamp set, I will combine them to save you shipping. All “bids” will be in the form of a comment on my blog and a followup email to me at “prairiestamper@gmail.com”. I have a TON of retired stamps that need to move out and go find new homes, so I thought I’d give you all the benefits!! I have over 22 boxes of retired sets I will be going through finding some of the most cherished and popular sets. I will also have some book kits and card kits listed All bids will be billed through paypal. So please come back tomorrow morning, Monday June 21, 2010 and START YOUR BIDDING!!

I had to include Jackie Topa’s Card here… since I used some of my retiring papers to make this little book. So here’s her card first!
They're all retiring!!! BOO HOO HOOO
I watched a 2 hr long video and decided I needed to try my hand at making this little book. The design is by a quilter no less…who got into paper crafting…..”Follow the paper trail”…. I made this little book for a special little grandson who loves to hike all over the mountains, tracking animals and discovering things in the Smokey mountains. So shhhh… don’t show him the pictures!! The cover has copper leaves I punched out with my bigshot, and similar paper leaves decorate every page inside. He has plenty of pockets to stuff things in , and lots of pages to put pictures of all his animals, their tracks and whatever he discovers. If you click on the link above , you can watch the 2 hr utube video to learn how to make the book!!
Leave book Cover
Here’s the accordian fold out pages.
Front pages
Here are the pages on the back of the front folds.
Back pages
all papers are SU designer papers from the past year. I tried to use colors with leaves, and colors a little boy would like. I hope he likes it!! The book ties shut with the retiring 1″ stitched chocolate grosgrain ribbon.
The book is a 5″ chipboard base for front and back covers. There is a tag in each of the pocket.

This is the second week of our new Sketch Frenzy Friday. This week’s sketch was created by Tammy Baldwin. Be sure to stop by all the blogs listed below to see each one’s take on this sketch. .. Here’s the sketch first:
Here’s my card for this sketch
Ingredients: Basic Grey Cs, Presto patterns overlay (MDS), Friends 24-7, Vanilla Hodgepodge, Define your Life SS, Vanilla grossgrain ribbon
I used MDS to create the card. It’s easy to create a card using My Digital Studio …you can move everything around and not have to re-stamp the cardstock.
This gives you a venue to create a design you want without using your materials. Then you can actually go create your card with all the cardstocks , inks , and ribbons.
Here are the rest of the blogs to hop through and see all their creations. If you’d like to play along, enter your blog with the link at the bottom. You’ll have til Sunday night to enter your sample.
