to

MEET the DESIGN TEAM!!

Hello!

I'm Amber Hight!

I started out scrapbooking, but when I found the exciting world of stamping, it took over! I will never lose the title "Scrapbooker", so I'm now known as the "Stamping Scrapbooker"! My husband and I currently live in Okinawa Japan. We are both active duty in the Air Force. We have two furr-babies, Luke and Jesse, my little *Hahahahaha!* labs. You can visit me here http://stampingscrapbooker.blogspot.com

My name is Ashley Nguyen Newell.

I am a stay at home mom to two amazing little boys, Brady who is 2.5 and Parker who is 9 months. I found stamping about 3 years ago and it's been a passion of mine ever since. I love having a creative outlet and sharing my work with everyone. I am so excited to help Amy start this new venture in her life and I am SO flattered to have been asked to be a part of this amazing team!

Hi! I'm Christi!

I am a stay-at-home mom to my adorable 2 year old daughter, Kat, and energetic 15 year old son, Jacob. My DH of 17years is Ben and he drags us around the world every couple of years with his active duty job in the Air Force which currently has us stationed in Illinois.

I have been crafting in one manner or other all of my life, but that became a papercrafting passion 14 years ago when I discovered stamping and scrapbooking. I love all things associated with these crafts and am willing to try any technique at least once. I love the challenge of trying new things and stretching my creativity while creating something new and beautiful. I love to share this hobby with others and have been very lucky to work with a publishing company out of the UK that produces several papercrafting magazine titles for the last 7 years.

Most days you will find me sitting in front of piles of paper and stamps, but my other loves are reading and coffee so I can often be found wandering the aisles of my local Barnes & Noble.

My blog can be found at http://alteredambitions.blogspot.com/and I host an inspiration/creative prompt blog at http://creativeprompts.blogspot.com/

My name is Sherry Campbell and I am a Mom to a teenage son and to a beautiful dog and a crazy cat. I am also a dispatcher and manager for a regional trucking company which keeps me on my toes every day. When I’m not working I am hanging out with my boyfriend, family and my friends. I love to watch movies, read books and most of all STAMP. Sherry Campbell http://workingandstamping.blogspot.com/

Notice the missing music?

I think playlist has a virus..I had to remove it

because it was acting stupid

Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today!!

I'm giving away SOME VINYL!!!!

I've been slowly but surely trying to give my kitchen a "Cafe" look..

Of course this is base housing so there's only so much you can do

But

I made this little sign from a wooden frame from the $1 section at Michael's and I think it turned out pretty cute

Supplies Used:

EAD DESIGNS Vinyl RubOns

Alphabet Vinyl Rub Ons

Paper October Afternoon, Basic Grey Nook and Pantry

Stamps Unity Stamp Company

Here's the cool thing about these letters

You can order them in ANY COLOR YOU WANT!!!

If you haven't tried vinyl rub ons, you gotta!!

I used to hate working with rub ons because so much of the time, for me

they would only partially rub off on the paper, ruining your whole project

or worse, after you got them all on and looking perfect

you'd look at the project again two weeks later and the rub ons would all be peeling off

This does not happen with

EAD DESIGNS VINYL

They have so many designs for you to choose from, and you can even go to the

DESIGN CENTER

and make your own!!

EMILY

can do anything with Vinyl...your only limit is your imagination!!

They're even getting ready to start making

REUSABLE, MULTICOLORED VINYL for your walls!!!

I want you to give some VINYL a try

SO I AM GIVING AWAY A RUB ON SET OF YOUR CHOICE!!!

THAT's RIGHT!!!

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO WIN IS:

1. Go to the EAD STORE and tell me what your favorite set is

2. Go visit Emily's Blog and leave her some LOVE

3. Leave me a comment here on this post by Saturday March 14th at 8am Est.

4. You'll get extra entries for Following Emily, Following Me, Following the rest of the DT (you'll see a list to your left) Posting about this contest on your blog!! (Please leave a separate comment for each)

I will pick a random winner

EASY PEASY, RIGHT?

Now..

You've got work to do!!

I love making bookmarks, because not only are they a fast and super easy project,

they make a great gift tucked into a new book.

The first time I met Christi we met for lunch at Eckert's

one of my favorite places that I miss terribly!

Anyway,

having previously been blogland friends and GoodReads friends

Christi went through my "to read" list and

gave me 4 0r 5 books of hers on that list with the

sweetest little bookmark tucked in.

I thought that was one of the most thoughtful things ever!!

Still working, dreaming, playing and hoping to be up and running soon!!

Have a great Sunday!
