another stab at stamp carving

I have been tearing my house apart for the last few days looking for my favorite bird stamps. I gave up but didn't want to go out and buy more, especially since I have all kind of supplies for stamp making. I busted it all out tonight and tried carving a few birds. None of them turned out quite as I imagined but this one made me happy.






















I made this card with it right away.





















And I'm not giving up yet! My goal is to create at least 3 or 4 pretty bird stamps so I have a fun variety for my cards and other projects. This is a very slow process for me. My guess is that as soon as I finish my last stamp I will magically find the stamps that were missing in the first place.

Right?

Right.

That is how it works, I guess.

craft shows + cuteness

I have to share the illustration Chad made for the Holiday Craftacular coming up in Madison in December. The full poster will be printed soon after we finish a few details and get it off to Naomi but I thought it was about time to share the cuteness.















If you are around Madison and are still thinking about applying for the Craftacular there is still time! Just click here and apply by Friday 10/17.

And if you're part of the Wisconsin Etsy Street team there is still time to apply for the trunk show at Lazy Jane's on December 13. The deadline is coming up quickly (October 20) so GO HERE for details now!
