Everyday miracles {the butterfly project}

I love love love these colors and this sentiment:

"Everyday holds the possibility of a miracle"

 

The stamp is from Unity's Kit of the Month (KOTM) for June 2009.

The colors are Summer Sun, Berry Sorbet, Melon Berry and Raspberry Fizz from PTI.  The paper is from K & CO - Que Sera collection (I think this is on clearance at Mikes, you should grab it while you can!).

I was inspired to do butterfly's after reading this over the weekend on the  Craft Critique's blog about the Butterfly project for the Houston Holocaust Museum.   You can read more on the Butterfly Project here <----- click.

Its "ketchup" week on TTIC!

 

Its "catch up" week at TTIC!    The TTIC DT/GDT have the week off, to rest and re-charge.    I couldn't help myself - I used the opportunity to go back to one of my fav challenges and ink up my new June KOTM from Unity Stamp Co.

You know I love to channel my "inner Alice" so here's my project for TTIC #4 Alice  or maybe this is Alice's valentine card for Jasper ~ TTIC #18 Twi Valentines!

  

Give one of the sketches a try and don't forget that you can do any of the challenges at any time!

Its an upsy-daisy type of Monday morning!

I think this is my new fav technique - faux batik .... (or emboss resist with the eP removed whatever you want to call it!).    Emboss your image (I used versarmark and white eP on white cardstock), then color in the fun (sponge it in or brayer it, or spray it on), and then heat up your iron and using newspaper (or old brown bags) remove the eP (be careful not to get it on your iron, though!).

Virtual Garage Sale

I'm cleaning out my stamp room!!!!!

I think I've priced everything "to move" but feel free to make me an offer, particularly if you're interested in multiple sets. 

I've listed the stampin around wheels -  I'd like to sell these as sets (wheels, handles, cartridges) but if I don't get any buyers for those, I will consider selling the wheels separately at the prices marked.

Stamp sets in the containers (other stamp companies where noted) and are in good, gently used condition with little or no staining.  Some items are brand new in package (NIP).

Prices do not include shipping.  Most stuff will ship for $5 priority mail with delivery confirmation (one or two sets, depending on size) and 3 or more stamp sets can be sent priority for $10.   I will combine shipping to save you $$$.  Please check with me for postage costs and my paypal address.

*stamp sets shown in blue color are pending, newly added is shown in bold.
