Pink Polka Dot Boots: November 2009
http://michellenstamps.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Pink Polka Dot Boots. Where Stamps Meet Paper. Monday, November 23, 2009. I think I should just call this day "Mary Jo Monday," since most of my Monday posts are inspired by her wonderful sketches. (Check out her blog. For all the details.). I didn't follow this sketch exactly, just sort of, kind of. I think she wanted the card to be square, but since I'm posting it in my Etsy shop, and a rectangular card is easier to mail, I didn't do square. Have a wonderful week, and great Thanksgiving day! The brown ...

Pink Polka Dot Boots: October 2009
http://michellenstamps.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Pink Polka Dot Boots. Where Stamps Meet Paper. Wednesday, October 28, 2009. Don't you just love it when you see something, and think,. I can use that to make (blank-whatever your craft is)! Maybe I'm in the minority on this, but often I see a pattern on someones clothes, or a picture or something and think."That would make a great card.". The cards don't always turn out the way I have it visualized, but the process is always fun! I love the way some leaves have all of these colors togther too. The Highli...

Pink Polka Dot Boots: Embossed Snowflakes
http://michellenstamps.blogspot.com/2009/11/embossed-snowflakes.html
Pink Polka Dot Boots. Where Stamps Meet Paper. Wednesday, November 18, 2009. It's not too often that I pull out my heat gun, and heat emboss. It's a messy business, and I usually end up with fine, embossing powder all over that place. Once in a while though, it's worth the effort. This card is like a gently falling snow. Each of the flakes is stamped on glossy white cardstock, and then sprinkled with clear embossing powder. Once the powder melts, you have a slightly raised image. Visit My Etsy Shop.

Pink Polka Dot Boots: Sense Of Time
http://michellenstamps.blogspot.com/2009/11/sense-of-time.html
Pink Polka Dot Boots. Where Stamps Meet Paper. Friday, November 20, 2009. This card has a slightly masculine feel to it, but yet, I don't think it has to be given to a man. The sentiment says, "An unhurried sense of time is in itself a form of wealth.". I'm not always a big fan of sayings like this, but I do really like this one. I think because life is so busy, it's nice to think of just enjoy time. Both of the clock centers have a brad in them, giving it slightly more dimension. I love that clock!

Pink Polka Dot Boots: December 2009
http://michellenstamps.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Pink Polka Dot Boots. Where Stamps Meet Paper. Sunday, December 20, 2009. I'll be continuing with the Valentines theme here for a while, and since Mary Jo has been kind enough to include hearts in her next few Lunchtime Sketches, it works out perfectly! Check out her blog. For the sketch and details. This stamp set (Moose You) has some cute animals with fun play on words. I love this little porky with the "stuck on you" sentiment. The pumpkin pie background has been dry embossed with a heart texture plate.

http://michellenstamps.blogspot.com/2009/11/she-keeps-me-going.html
Pink Polka Dot Boots. Where Stamps Meet Paper. Sunday, November 15, 2009. She Keeps Me Going. I was going through a little bit of an unmotivated phase. I didn't know what to make, and therefore, I didn't feel like trying. Mary Jo, has inspired many of my cards with her wonderful sketches though, and that was were I started today. This layout is for her Monday Sketch Challenge. Make sure you check out her blog, to get all the details, and see what she's come up with. Thanks so much Mary Jo! Subscribe to: ...

Pink Polka Dot Boots. Where Stamps Meet Paper. Tuesday, March 31, 2009. I had to make one more card with this set since I had it out. This is a very simple card, and layout. I think this would make a great Mother's Day card. Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Red Riding Hood, White. Ink: Kiwi Kiss, Pink Pirouette, Red Riding Hood. Monday, March 30, 2009. Technostampers Monday Lunchtime Sketch. I don't know how Mary Jo does it, but she always comes up with great ideas for her weekly sketch challenges. Mother's Da...

Pink Polka Dot Boots: May 2009
http://michellenstamps.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Pink Polka Dot Boots. Where Stamps Meet Paper. Friday, May 29, 2009. Daughter's Thank You Note. The last of our May birthdays is our middle daughters. This is a card I had made quite a while ago, but she found it and wanted it for her thank you notes. Glad I still have the stamp set and the patterned paper, as both are now retired. It's a fun tri-fold card with a belly band. Haven't done one of these recently, so it was a nice change. Wednesday, May 27, 2009. Set: Happiness is a Journey. Another Father's...
