Stamp with Heather

Attention all demonstrators....

I am so excited for the fall events that Stampin' Up! Canada will be having. I wish I could be there to join in the fun. My amazing downline Martha and Marja are hosting a post Kitchener event.they are both very talented designers and even more thoughtful women! This event will be top notch! Check out the flyer for all the details! Wish I could be there!

Stamp Date

What fun! I had a date with my good friend Martha today. She messaged me on Facebook and across the ocean we stamped together. It was fun. She picked the stamp set and I set the color combo. And then we each made a card at our respective homes. Thanks for the inspiration Martha! Look forward to doing it again soon. Here is what I came up with.

Guess what's coming.....

Halloween!!!!  Are you as excited as I am!?!?  For those of you that know me, Halloween is my THING!  LOVE IT!  Even though it really isn't that big here, I'll be making it big this year:)  The kids are already planning their acitivites, costumes and food!  Can't wait!!!

I made this card the other day.  I love the little house set in the Holiday catalogue (you'll see it a lot!)  I was a very good girl and only got two stamp sets for the upcoming season.  (that could change:)  We shall see!!!!  I'm not sure what my favourite stamp is but these little bats are a GEM!  I stamped on the ribbon using Staz On and it went on really well and didn't smudge!  I'm thrilled with the final look!

The spider web is from the Bite Me photopolymer stamp set (released last year....and I LOVE IT - shocker!)  I don't make a lot of Halloween cards but I think tags or bag headers with something stamped similar to this would be super cute!  What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs,

Heather

Today's MDS page was inspired by one made by someone at P & Co (I think!)  I saw this on Pinterest and tried to find the original source.  I used it as complete inspiration and am thrilled with my result.  This page was fun to put together!

I love using the map in the background and then layering my details on tops of this.  Cute, eh?  I tried to keep fairly neutral with the colours as I LOVE these photos and wanted them to stand out.  The colours on this page are Midnight Muse, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla and Basic Black with the opacity of 80%.

Hope you like today's page!  I challenge you to create a page with a map on it!  Go for it!

Hugs,

Heather

I got a few treats from the upcoming holiday catalogue today and this Santa Stache was stop of my list!  I love this stamp set and the matching framelit.  Isn't it sweet!?!?!  

Here's a quick run down of the supplies I used:

Hope you like the card.... I know I'm way early, but I was inspired and happy to create!

Where is Heather?

I'm not gone, I promise:) I've been on a happy little break though. Life here in Australia has thrown us a few curve balls.  All is well, but time hasn't been what I thought it would be.  I'll explain in brief points for you as many of you have asked where I've been and I do appreciate your concerns and your checking in!

• two of our munchkins have taken longer to "settle" in here than we thought so they have had some extra time and loving.  Things are going great here but it's good to stay on top of it.
• it's cold here!  I've been busy "yarning" (crocheting and knitting) some tuques for the chilly Australian nights (and some days!)
• holidays!  The beginning of July we had a two week AMAZING holiday together (and most of it was technology free thanks to little or no wifi - especially in Tasmania)
• I haven't been stamping as much lately - due to lack of resources and funds:)  I have placed my first order from the catalogue so hopefully will share some creations with you sooner than later!  In the meantime, I've been MDSing like crazy so I'll have some pages to share and of course some of my mom's amazing creations!  We are so lucky!!!

So for today, here's just a little eye candy.  Thanks again for stopping by!

Hugs,

Heather
