Bradley, The Painter by Rubbernecker

As a Superstar Stamper for Addicted to Rubber Stamps, I make cards from the stamps they sell. I then email them the images with the supplies needed and instructions for making the cards. This is my dream "job." Did I say "job"? I'm supposed to be retired! I meant to say, "This is a dream hobby." If you haven't checked out their site, you need to go to: www.AddictedtoRubberStamps.com. What a great site! They have millions (maybe just thousands) of adorable rubber stamps and supplies. If you have to call them, tell them I sent you (only kidding). I love coloring; maybe I didn't get enough coloring in elementary school! You're never too old to learn a craft. In fact, you are never too old to color, cut, paste, and create. Go and find a craft.....go, go, go. You would be surprised how much trouble you can stay out of when you craft! Kids of all ages love to craft. Crafting is a gift you give to yourself and others. I've got to run.......have to make a few cards. Keep on crafting.........

The spirits are alive and doing well.......

These cards were made from copies of postcards dating back to the early 1900's. The postcards belong to my girlfriend, Diane, and her daughter, Monique. Well, the cards came out beautiful, and Diane loved them. Anyway.....I gave Diane the cards today; today is March 6. One of the postcards has a cancel date of March 6. Are we in the Twilight Zone or is Diane's Grandmother looking down on us and laughing?

Duckling



What a lucky "duck" I am to be able to do what I love! As a Superstar Stamper for Addicted to Rubber Stamping, this card will appear in one of the next issues of the Papercrafting News. It's so nice to see what I've done on the "big screen." Look at the top of the duck's head, notice anything unsuual?

I am a Superstar Stamper!


Guess what? I've been picked to be a Superstar Stamper for Addicted to Rubber Stamps (http://www.addictedtorubberstamps.com/)! How great is that? This little boy, with the snake, is my first project. Shortly you will be able to read all about me and the directions for this card on their newsletter-type website. I'm so excited I can hardly stamp and color!

Al-Anon to the Rescue



I was recently asked to work my magic on some cards that would be used as party "favors." Can you guess the fluttery theme? I think they came out pretty good. I'm impressed!

Is it Valentine's Day Already?



No silly, it's not Valentine's Day yet. Tomorrow is Christmas. Just working on the card challenge for December for Stamp N Plus. Can you see that they are done using Iris Paper Folding? I think they came out great! Hope they're a winner!
