UStamp Christmas Blocks

I am so excited to share with you my latest design for UStamp with Dawn and Friends.....I love the holidays!!!!!!  I have wanted to use the decor blocks and had seen lots of ideas on how to use them.  My idea was to use them to display cards or photos....especially during the holidays.  I love the new Christmas DSP in the IB&C called "Letters to Santa". The paper is great for paper piecing.....cutting out images from the paper for highlighting!!!!

I also used the new stamp set "Merry and Type".  I love the hanging ornaments stamp and embossing the stamp in white embossing powder really made the image stand out on the block.  To display the cards/photos I used various sizes of binder clips and added dsp to them. 

The card was again used with the letters to santa dsp and the ornament image from the merry and type stamp set was embossed with white embossing powder and cut out and popped up with dimensionals.  If you would like to get the instructions on my project and see all the other great designer projects please go onto UStamp with Dawn and Friends to subscribe.  You won't be disappointed!!!!!!

I'm A Guest Designer!!!!

I can't tell you how excited I am....Dawn Rapsas, a fellow SU! demonstrator, started UStamp with Dawn and Friends.  I have been a member for about a year and love the designers ideas.  With your membership you get tons of ideas and templates to create cards and projects throughout the year.  Dawn had posted to members that the team was looking for guest designers and to send her a link to her blog.  I thought why not try to see.  Well, I got an email back from Dawn saying that she loved my blog and if I wanted to be a designer.  WOW....what a priveledge and an honor!!!! 

I need to start creating and designing my project but I did want to share the news.  If you would like to become a member of UStamp with Dawn and Friends, click here to get started.  It is so worth it....also you get to meet new people.

As part of being a guest designer, I am going to go through my favorite blog sites that I follow and pick someone to get a FREE pass for this event coming up.  I will be announcing the winner tomorrow!
