I don’t have a card for you tonight (check back tomorrow!)….but I just *had* to pop in and share some BIG news with you!  Ohhh….you are gonna LOVE this!!! Eeeeeek!!!!  *big grin* 

 Stampavie has some amazing illustrators and they have added another one….someone many of you know & love!  Can you guess who?

It’s none other than….

MO MANNING!  Yes, I’m shouting!  Ha ha.  Can you believe it?  Mo’s amazing illustrations are being made into photopolymer STAMPS right now!  Aaaack…I can hardly WAIT! 

Sorry I’ve been absent a few days again!  I’ve been working on some projects for an upcoming stamping event with friends.  I’ll share those projects soon!  But in the meantime, you gotta go check out what Jennifer did with the cookies!  :0)

JanTink has a tutorial for a card design that she calls a “Bib card”. Check it out here.

And if you enjoy watercoloring and want to learn a different watercolor technique, here is a tutorial on how to watercolor with markers.

Julia Stainton is also a Dirty Dozen Alumni from SCS and an awesome stamper. She has the following tutorials on her blog for making scallops with the Slit punch and Stitching on paper with your sewing machine. Check them out!

SCS is having an anniversary celebration of their fan club and it starts tomorrow! There will be a week long event in a special forum & gallery to participate in challenges put forth by the Dirty Dozen (current & alumni). You can check it out here. The challenges are open for fan club members only, so if you are not a member….now’s a great time to join and support the site!

Also, take a peek over in SweetMissDaisy’s blog….Anna’s new stamps are now available! Her list of new releases can be found here. Congrats, Anna!
