I love seeing the amazing number of things that can be done with a single stamp, it really shows the value for money stamps are when you have the creativity to use them to their full extent. Your stamps are beautiful, and when I've saved enough there are several fun and odd ones I will be ordering.

It's fun that you've added this giveaway to the blog, good luck everyone :D

Dear Catherine:
Hope that this makes it to the blog and I'm not in a fog:-)
Great job on the website, and I will share (again) how when looking at the Easter Card I initially thought the eggs were pistachio shells, and thought what a clever idea that was! And I'm going to try it on my own...
all the best...

Hello, I'm from Russia and I'm a new in "real" scrapbooking (I made a digital ones for a pretty long time and now would like to get some new experience so began to scrap in “reality”).

Here in Russia it's pretty hard to find scrapbooking suppliers so I was very surprised to find out a magic thing called “blog candy”.
I believe in miracles as strong as my little daughter :) so I believe I’ll win a candy one perfect day.
Many thanks to the people like you who make a little wonder by their own crafty hands.

I love vintage!
Good luck to you in all of your undertakings!

My post here: http://winged-art.blogspot.com/2009/02/vintage-candy.html

waldengoddess said...

I love how Audrey used one stamp to create those wonderful 9 pieces of art!
She has inspired me to try my hand at it..
