I just had an "Ah-Ha" moment and I am so excited! I was browsing the internet for scrapbooking ideas, and came across a video showing someone (Megan Gravener from Above Rubies Studio) using clear acrylic stamp blocks to make a card. Now, I've stamped a little in the past. I even hosted a Stampin' Up party at my home years ago! But it's been a long time since I've revisited the stamping world, and until I saw this video, I did not understand why clear stamping blocks were such a big deal.

 

Here's my Ah-Ha.... With a clear block, instead of the wood ones I was used to, you can SEE where the stamp is going on the paper. DUH! I embarrassed to say this concept never came to mind. And I have a feeling I'm not the only one who used wood stamps and had to crouch down by the table and stick my head an inch from where I was stamping to try and line it up just right... just to find out I was still slightly off... and then had to start all over again. That was so disappointing! And now... there is some genius who made the stamping blocks clear. There's another million dollar idea I should have identified years ago. LOL.

Suddenly I found myself all excited about stamping again. I ran into our warehouse and started looking at the stamping items we carried.

Did you ever hear about Cricut Cuttables? Craft-e-Corner has them! They are clear sheets of material you can cut with your Cricut, and then stick to one of those clear stamping blocks to make your own stamp! That means I can cut a custom made stamp with any design from the Cricut Cartridges I own. WOW!

And of course, you need the blocks to stick your stamps to.

Need to stamp some phrases but don't own a cartridge with the phrase you want? Try our new My Pink Stamper Stamp Sets. They are stamps that are pre-made and have the cutest little phrases that would be the perfect touch to any card or scrapbook page.

And of course, what good would all these products be if you don't know how to use them? Even I can benefit from this new DVD. Stamping has really improved over the years, and there are a variety of different techniques. The 123 Stamp DVD is over 80 minutes long and contains 13 different lessons as well as 3 step-by-step project ideas!

These are all really affordable items and would add a whole new dimension to your project making. Perfect for gifts, stocking stuffers, or just because! You can be certain that I'm adding one of everything to MY Christmas List!

With the holidays right around the corner, I decided it was time to bring a DinoTalk Talking Ornament home and try it out. I taped a video of my daughter and I recording it so I could show you how easy it is.

 This would be great for grandparents, families who have a tradition of making a new ornament each year, classroom projects for children to bring home, or for yourself! How about sending this to a troop serving our country? A letter is nice, but how precious would a talking ornament be! Just record your message (up to 10 seconds long) and decorate the plain white paper using your own decorative touch. Inside you could put a wallet sized photo, a gift card, a handwritten message, or just decorate it!  Too Fun!

Did anyone else develop their Halloween pictures from this year, and then get a sinking feeling in your stomach because you know you haven't scrapbooked LAST year's Halloween pictures?? Well, add my name to that list. So this weekend, I got out the 2009 photos and got busy! Check out the video below...

When deciding what cartridge to use, I came across the Nursery Rhymes Cricut Cartridge. It caught my eye because it had a ladybug phrase and that's what my daughter dressed up as. But I discovered it also has the cutest font included with it, and a monogram feature that cut the perfect size photo mats! (Cut at size 7") This is in addition to all the other nursery rhyme themed designs like Jack and Jill, Wee Willie Winkie, Humpty Dumpty, and This Little Piggy. At first glance, I might have passed this cartridge by, but I am so glad I didn't. Just check out my pages! I'm so happy with them!
