ANOTHER GIVE AWAY

i'm sending you on a scavenger hunt for this give away. i'm working on a bird banner for my little art space in florida. above are the four birds you will be using for the hunt. each bird has a variety of stamped elements from my personal rubber stamp line at stampotique. to enter you must find the total number* of elements that are stamped from my rubber stamps. i warn you - while some are easy to spot there are some that will be tricky to catch! (*hint: there are more than 12.) and yes...count each stamped element on each bird - some stamps are used are used more than once. you are looking for the total number of stamped elements on each bird for the grand total.
leave a comment with the total number of pieces you spot and if you are correct your name will go into a random name draw to win a surprise mailing of one of my very own stamps! i will list all the elements used from my stamps so in case you missed one you can see what it might have been when the winner is chosen. i will pick a winning name on march 5th. good luck!

and the winner is.......

another one of my stamps

here is another journal page using one of my stamps from my new stamp line at stampotique. it is all paper pieced. i used my viking girl stamp as my main image. i used markers and gel pens to add highlights and lowlights for depth. i stamped just the waves a few more times and cut them out to add a few more rows to add a high seas look.

a new art space

here is my cozy space to create in while i'm in florida. i converted a walk-in closet to an art room....and no...my door doesn't really squeak...i've added sound effects for your enjoyment.

the stamps are here

i went to the post office tonight and was so happy to see my package of rubber stamps waiting for me. when i opened up the box it seemed a bit surreal to see my name on the end of each of the stamps. my stamp line debuts soon through stampotique. i'll be having a very special give away. stay tuned!

in transition

as you can see i'm in a period of transition at the moment. i drove to florida with my car fully loaded with art supplies. the picture shows only a very small portion of what i had stuffed in the car. i'm still unpacking boxes and trying to set up a little art room. i'm feeling a little pressure to hurry up and get it accomplished as i'm teaching a journal class at the she scrapbooks store this coming saturday. i have a lot to get ready. finding the right organizational furniture has been a challenge, however, i think today i might have hit the jackpot. i'm in the process of putting it together. i really miss creating so i hope to have all the boxes unpacked by the end of today. wish me luck!
