Guest - Julie Campbell

Happy Friday friends!!! Today we have a special guest spotlight! Julie Campbell is one of those whose work is so good that you sometimes get a pain of envy. Well I do anyway. I'm thrilled to reveal these good works to you and I know you will enjoy.

Another sweet twist today is that I haven't had a secret giveaway in ages soooo... leave a comment today and someone will be randomly selected to win all 3 of the stamps I previewed yesterday! That's right! All 3! Good luck to you all and I'll announce the winner on Monday as well as the new Summer Gardeners DT. Remember if you are applying, Sunday night is the deadline.

How long have you been stamping?
The first thing I ever stamped was my wedding invitations, which was 10 years ago! I didn't really get serious about it until a few years later.

What's your tool of choice?
I love my Copic Markers!

Describe yourself in 3 words.
easy-going, genuine, dedicated

If you had a stamp line, what would you call it?
Stamped In His Image





What's your favorite TGF stamp set?

Miss Anya




If you were a color, what would you be? Why?

Ooh! This is a tough one! I would have to go with robin's egg blue. The color just feels calm and peaceful... with a youthful twist that makes it both timeless and trendy. I think my personality is a lot like that.




Descibe your crafting area.
I have a LOT of stuff packed into a tiny area. I love using anything 'new' and 'now', so I keep all of my freshest things at my fingertips to inspire me. There's a place for everything, but you probably wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at it. I like to think of it as organized clutter.




When making cards, what are your favorite colors to use?
I love using punches of color along with neutrals such as kraft, dark brown, or black.

Do you listen to music while you stamp?

No, but that sounds like a good idea! :) I usually like to sneak into my craft room while my kids are occupied with something else, and I don't want to make any sounds to alert them of my whereabouts. :)




3 wishes:
peace, joy, & love



Have a super safe and creative weekend! I'll be slaving over packages. lol.

Today's question is: You're climbing up a beanstalk and enter the giant's house. There's a mountain of treasure. You grab the:

1) Golden Ink - it never runs dry
2) Golden Paper - it turns into the perfect paper for any project
3) Golden Stamp - it becomes the image of your hearts desire

Ahhh I chooseth the Golden Paper. To have project perfect patterned paper at my fingertips is worth selling my cow for.

Sneak Peeks Thursday

Bonjour on this Thursday to you all! I'm trippin today, for some reason I thought it was Farmer's Market. LOL! Anyway, since the 1st is right around the corner I thought I'd let you see what we have coming on Monday. For June 1st release I only have 3 singles out. Can you believe that? I know I know, I'm a little sad myself. But at least it's help your wallet. Especially since the June 15th Anya releases are also coming up. So see? I'm actually helping by lowering the release quantity this upcoming month. =)

So without further adieu, here's the 3 singles. Part of the Hope & Grace collection. Hope you like them. =)





And now onwards to our spectacular lineup!!!

Tuesday Randomness

Greetings friends. Hope this Tuesday finds you well. Ok a random thought today. I don't know if this happens to any of you but it just always puzzles me a great deal. I always find cereal when I'm cleaning under the sofa cushions and I don't even eat cereal! Where does it come from! Elves??? Ha! Thought I'd share the randomness.

Below are today's wondrous cards! June is gonna be a tight scheduled month for me since the knot happens in early July. I figure once all these fluffy arrangements are over, things will be normal again. It's totally cutting into my stamp designing time. Lol. Enjoy!

Join us tomorrow for a special spotlight! Have a great one!

Today's question is: What's the strangest thing you ever found under the sofa cushions or under the sofa?

Mystery cereal mostly. And then once a coat button from like the 70s? Sofas must be like a time travel portal or something.

By Carina

Anna Maria: I liked the feeling of a fairy-taile book and the soft pastell colours. Simply a wonderful supercute case of my card.

Carina, send me an email for your free stamp set!


Let's start off today's lineup with a little fire. Ian goes naughty for this bride-to-be's card. LOL.

I have another challenge coming up this week which I will reveal soon enough. As for today, take it easy and keep on stamping!

Today's question is: Are you superstitious?

Not particularly. Maybe when I was younger but now not so much.
