PSA Essentials Meets Helmar Adhesives Meets Moxie Fab World!

(How's that for a super long title?!)

Hi Friends!

I'm being a rebel here - just pretend you aren't seeing this card until next week sometime on the PSA Stamp Camp blog, ok?!  (I had to get it up here in time to enter it in Moxie Fab World's Stamp It! Cards challenge!)

It's super simple, mostly because that 'gator seriously gives me the giggles, and I really wanted to focus on him... and the 'punny' sentiment!  (And because it's already a goofy card, I figured I better add a googlie eye to the focal gator!)

Pretty sure you've got until Sunday, July 10 to enter Cath's challenge...   Looks like I don't need to be a rebel after all; you've got until Wednesday, July 13 to enter Cath's challenge... be sure to head over to the Moxie Fab World & check it out!

Laters,
Steph!

Supplies:
PTI Vintage Cream Cardstock
PTI Ripe Avocado Ink
PSA Essentials 'Rocket' Stamp Set; Studio G Alpha Set
Helmar Adhesives 1/4" White Zap-Dots; Premium Craft Glue
Googlie Eye

Hello Kitty!

Hiya!

I've got a couple Hello, Kitty projects showing over at the PSA Essentials blog today - namely, these two:

I also made this third one, but am apparently incapable of photographing it properly.  I swear, everything is placed on it straight - but it just doesn't look like it in the photo!

(Ok, well, not totally straight, as I did move the middle panel to be slightly lower - but it's also popped up, for some dimension...)

Make sure you click over to the PSA Essentials blog today, too - Libby's offering up some yummy blog  candy! 

 (Namely, one lucky winner will be receiving their favourite licensed Peel 'N' Stick stamp pack!)

Laters!
Steph

Sorry, no photos here guys - they're on my other {sick-at-the-repair-shop} laptop.

Check out the PSA Stamp Camp blog today, though... I've got 3 Valentine gift ideas posted over there, and let me just say, the third one is my absolute fave... (Tic Tacs, in a super-cute, removable/refillable jacket... sentiment? 'I've got time to waste!'  Hilarious!)

When I have my other laptop back home again, I'll post some piccies here, with a few more details, for ya...

Laters!

PSA Essentials + Home Shopping Network = WOO HOO!!!!!

Tomorrow morning you may see some of my creations on the Home Shopping Network (you can watch online, if you don't get the channel on TV!!)  I can hardly wait - I'm so very excited!  PSA Essentials is going to be offering some really great deals on bundles of their Peel 'N' Stick stamp sets that will be sold exclusively on HSN... so if you're interested in buying some PSA Essentials products, make sure you tune in at 5:00AM & 1:00PM EST - now's the time to stock up!!

*Note - sorry there's nothing crafty to see.  My 'good' laptop's at the repair shop & that's where all my photos are!

Dudes...

Don't forget to enter my PSA Essentials candy - HERE!  These stamps are seriously awesome - and they come complete with that satisfying, stress-relieving 'thunk' of a self-inking stamp!  (Ok, ok, I'm a geek.  But we already knew that, now didn't we?!) 

Laters,
Steph!

PS - Check out their Hello Kitty stamps... and the Skelanimas... And know what's even cooler?  You can use these little round pieces of awesomeness with an acrylic block, too - oooo, the possibilities!

Thanksgiving with PSA Essentials!

Hey hey!

So... been busy, working on stuff I can't show you yet.  Isn't that always the way once you get on various DTs?  Here's a little something I can show you, though:

PSA Stamp Camp

How about some bigger pictures:

Pumpkin Pie Recipe Card

Pumpkin Pie Recipe Greeting Card - Interior

Happy Thanksgiving Greeting Card
(not really sure what happened to it on the PSA blog...)

You'll even notice a little something over on the PSA blog created by Erika Taylor, who was previously on the Gauche Alchemy and Bombshell Stamps DTs with me... kinda fun!

Hey, you know what?  How about a little more candy?!

Here's what I want you to do:

1.  Head over to PSA Essentials, take a look through the store, and come back and tell me what your favorite Peel 'n' Stick pack is. 

2.  Head over to the PSA Blog, and become a follower (and here, too, if you aren't already!).

3.  Do this by Thursday, November 25.
Why? 

'Cause I've got a PSA Stamp Body, a Stamp Alignment Tool, AND a Peel 'N' Stick pack of stamps up for grabs! 

Later gators!
Steph

PSA Essentials...

Dudes.  Check this out: PSA Stamp Camp!

And look at these: Skelanimals - can hardly wait to  play with these guys!!!!

Oh yeah.... and candy?  It's coming.  The housework/studio revamping has been eating me alive - especially since my last weekend (weekend? Almost a full week!) in September was spent taking Emily to meet this lady:

And the first weekend of October was spent watching this team kick serious ass in their Homecoming game. (48-0...sick.)  Yay, Tylar Kist - maybe you'll actually get to play next year?  (Yup.  Drove 8 hours & blew $200 on hotel rooms, thinking I was going to watch my cousin play....but apparently freshmen only get to hang out on the sidelines, looking like hitmen...seriously, go look him up on the roster.)

How about a completely off-topic but super adorable Lily photo?

Look at those pig-tails!  (Awwww....)  Em came home from school & decided to dress Lily up... and then we went back to school for the open house.  Cute.

So.... lots of DT projects happening behind-the-scenes.  Candy coming when I get to it.  Photos of the Studio (re)Vamp coming soon.  Princess Party invites in dire need of some attention...along with Princess hair clips... and Halloween decorations to create, along with a party for the dance crew... oh, and two loft beds to put together, Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday, and possibly some sleep...if there's time. ;)

AND... I'm blogging over at Gauche Alchemy tomorrow.  Check it out. =)
Yup, laters.
