So the Impression Obsession team members challenged each other to 'step out of the box' by using a stamp for something other than its intended purpose. My first thought... because I'm a dork... was that sometimes I'll use a large stamp to get a good grip on a jar lid that won't open... but anyway........ after some thought I decided to use the Create-a-Cupcake set to... create a turtle. Here is the set in full:

If you watch the evening news on a daily basis you may begin to feel that the world has "run-a-muck" with disasters and crime. But, if you keep your thoughts closer to your heart, you are sure to find a loving world filled with people who care.
A couple of brand new stamps are available on SNAPNCROP.COM this month. The idea for the stamps began with a product we have been selling for several years called Memory Blocks. Each set of Memory Blocks starts with either "Happiness is..." or "I wish for you..." and they contain phrases inspired by my happy thoughts and wishes for the people I care about.
I decided to add a new product that continued with the same "Happy-Wishes" concept. Something I hoped would inspire you to share your happy thoughts and wishes. I am thrilled to introduce Happiness is... and I wish for you... Clear Stamps.
When you look at the "Happiness is..." set you may ask yourself what are the circles for? Well, I think a few polka-dots are a simple way to make things cheerful and happy:
above page created on Mosaic Moments white 4x6 RTC grid paper. Silver and black Versa ink pads. Happiness is... clear stamps.
From day to day our activities and priorities change - that is why I like to create a little flexibility in my Clear Stamp designs. Use the "Certified Top Priority" seal and add your choice of "Happiness," "Family Time," "Love," or "Day to Play" as shown below. (You can also add your own handwritten message on the line provided.)
Page above was created on Mosaic Moments 6x6 white grid paper, Mosaic Moments Green Paper Tiles, Versa ink, and I wish for you... clear stamps.
Happiness is ... clear stamp set offers a choice of two seals. "Life Time Warranty" and "Life is Good" can be filled with your choice of 100% Bliss, 100% Full of Joy, 100% Wonder Full or 100% Tickled Pink as shown below:

We are introducing our New "Happiness is..." and "I wish for you..." Clear Stamps with a special SALE Price $12.50 each (regular $14.50 each) or buy both for $22.00 (SAVE $7.00 on two) (NOTE:additional discount will be calculated in your cart) at SNAPNCROP.com.
I hope that you will find, as I have, the joy in sharing all of the "wonder full" moments in your life.

I love to take pictures at the pumpkin patch. Orange pumpkins are almost like characters at Disney World - you just can't take a bad picture of them! : )
Last year I didn't have time to go to the pumpkin patch so I made an alternative plan - a play date at Busch Gardens with a friend and her daughter was the next best option to the place where pumpkins are grown.
I used my Mosaic Moments Cocoa Grid Paper to create the pages above. I like how the rich dark color makes the bright orange pumpkins "pop."
I used an old trick on the photo in the upper right corner. I used my exacto knife to cut around the skeleton figure because it was a bit "lost" in the photo.
Check out the "before and after" photos.
You can see the skeleton with his hat better without the washed out sky and distracting tree branches.
I don't use this technique often, but occasionally it seems to be a handy trick for a visual treat. ; )
Something I like to add to my pages frequently is a bit of ink and stamping.
I don't usually have a lot of space on my pages for "embellishments" so stamping is a perfect subtle addition to dress up my journaling blocks. When I am not using my own handwriting, I create my journaling by making a text block in my computer. I often choose a type (font) color that coordinates with colors used on my page. I print it on cardstock and then cut it to fit the grid using my mat, knife, and ruler.
Once the block is cut out, I add additional color by inking the edges. When I can, I like to add a stamped element, as shown above. I really like the fall/winter border stamp I used because it includes a lot of variety and can be used in many ways.
You can purchase this stamp at SNAPNCROP.com.
