Valentine Cards...

Valentine's Day has the power to turn non-avid crafters into card makers.  Love sparks inspirations and leads to wonderful hand-stamped creations right from the heart.  Can you think of a better way to say "I love you."?   I hope you enjoy this creative sampling of Valentines using 100 Proof Press rubber stamps.

Gladys used the Gibson Girl Heart in this cheery card.

Jennifer pressed out several "fancy hearts" on this card

T.S.T. used a not so Valentine's image to make a punny Valentine

Gerrie offers hugs with the Big Cutie Baby

My son and I just got done making 25 Valentine's for his classmates.  He also choose to use the fancy heart.  I would love to see your Valentine's Day cards.  Please feel free to share them on Facebook.  And if you haven't started yet, don't worry, there's still time to get pressin.

I also took a bit of time to play with stamps.  How could I not, it is Halloween!  

If you're interested, there is a personal story behind this particular stamp image over on my personal blog.

I hope you have enjoyed our spooky creations, and if you have some fun Halloween creations, I would love to see them!

After Stampaway XIX

Well,"the way of life" this week has been all about catching up after our exciting trip to Stampaway XIX.  We traveled down to the Cincinnati area this past weekend for a pretty big stamp show.  We had fun showing off our Flower Power and our new images.

by Janet Winkle

This is a fun little piece a happy customer shared with us at the show.  She used our finger pointing hand stamp - it meshed quite nicely with the Stampaway logo for 2011.  We already excited about going to the show next year!  Thanks to all who stopped by to see us.
