I got a call from Paper Crafts yesterday telling me I won the Stamping Royalty contest with an entry for watercoloring, WHOO HOO!!!!! The card will be published in the November/December issue and I get a prize pack worth $200, how cool is that?
This is me with the newest member of the Dirty Dozen, Carole Burrage (TruCarMa) and a fellow designer for MFT. She was in town before I went on my trip to CA and I took her to the very random and unusual stamp store, Viva Las Vegas Stamps. I really don't have the words to describe what the experience was like, other than I don't think this store could exist outside of this town. If you are in Las Vegas let me know and I will be happy to take you there, now that I know where it is. Carole is so unbelievably cool, I hoped some of her uber cool rubbed off on me!
On to the card! I used the cupcake set released just this month from My Favorite Things. I stamped the stand and cupcakes onto the decorative paper and certainly celery with VersaMark and embossed it with white ep. I cut the cups out and attached them and then used dimensional paint and real candy decorations to finish the tops of the cupcakes. I added some paper piercing and faux stich marks with a signo pen. The SU! frame punch and a few dew drops finished it off.Thanks so much for stamping by, I have missed you all!

Laura - Dang, what an amazing store. I've been to every stamp store from Houston to Dallas. Though they say everything's bigger in Texas, I think you got us beat. Love your card - and yes, you are uber cool. I tagged you at www.cateredcrop.com.

congrats on being royalty! i went to that store when i was in vegas two summers ago while the rest of our party was gambling or sunning--i was the only stamper in the group and it was a must-do on my list. at least i came home with some fun purchases instead of gambling losses!! :) lexi
