 So, last year during stamptember I think I did an order every week... and this year I have been watching the items come out and putting them on a wish list, and a few things yes, they did sell out. and then last week the set with co branded set with the leaves came out and I caved...
(Simon Says Stamp haul)
So, right after this was shot, I made this simple card from the inkroad sentiments and the SSS filigree teacup die.

 Because, the sentiments made me laugh and coffee cards always go over well at the booth in November. The printed paisley paper is very old from creative imaginations. both the brown cardstocks are textured and the stamped diecut panel is up on foam pop dots over the darker shade.

 A closer look, the teacup I am thinking I may try cutting out a solid teacup shape and seeing if any of the other dies I have will cut this as a free standing piece but, for this one I ended up grabbing a MFT stitched square die and saving enough room for the words.

 So Tuesday came along and an Amazon order had arrived and its all Sizzix dies.
so, right after this was shot this happened. I had received an answer from Sizzix that they do not sell spare parts for their machines and maybe I could find the part online... ( which made me roll my eyes) so, I am just going to keep using it until it breaks and hubs is going to make a new square for the inside of the crank handle when that happens as the rest of the machine is just fine, its the internal plastic piece that is cracked)

So this happened right after that and is what my desk looks like at the moment. the pieces were cut from watercolor paper and slightly colored with markers and an aqua brush, the sprigs on the paper I added white nuvo drops to the sprouted parts.

Off to the left, this is okay on the farthest left are all the foiled backgrounds I have made so far this last month or so and not done anything with yet, the basket with the sizzix plastic envelopes are holding diecut stamped Christmas/winter sentiments. to the top of that are tags that were die cut from scraps, card stocks and printed papers ( not ready to be used yet) the basket to the right of the sentiments is holding tags that are ready to decorate. ( they are printed papers glued to card stocks and some of them already have ribbons and fibers in the holes) the bread pan to the right of that is holding die cut things, like snowflakes and hearts and things to decorate with.
( sometimes I cut up my scraps when I want to be doing something but, its say too dark to see the colors) So, I cut and bag things for later. like when I get happy mail.

Izzy is almost 6 months old now and very rowdy at 50#'s. She goes into the vets on friday to be spayed. so, the next ten days after that will be a challenge to keep her from running and jumping.

That's about it from me, thanks for stopping by.
