Map It! Monday

Gobble, gobble stampers!  I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and did exactly what you wanted to do....I did!  Spent the day with 28 people that I love.  What could be better than that?

I don't know about you, but I am always looking for simple but quality gifts that I can put together for someone.  Then I thought with the Christmas season upon us, why not hand stamp some recipe cards?  It's great to make that favorite chef in your life some recipe cards featuring your favorite dishes and of course their's.  While you're at it, you could also stamp a few extra to have on hand for that lucky bride who might be getting married this year.

I designed mine with My Digital Studio.  You could do that and print it out or print a partial design and turn it into a hybrid by adding your own finishing touch to it with stamps or embellishments.  You could also cut down a basic index card, mat it and embellish it.  That way you have the lines already printed for you before you begin to decorate it.


Don't forget to take a picture and email it to me so you can be featured here next week!  Until then...

Happy Stamping!

Map It! Monday Challenge


Happy Monday Stampers!  Yes, I have been MIA.  Family things going on and this past weekend I was able to participate in a local craft & vendor show so of course I had to make things for that.  Is everyone ready for Turkey Day & Black Friday shopping?  I am excited for both.  I get to spend Thanksgiving with many wonderful people...my family!  Then the shopping begins!

On to today's challenge.  This is not only the Map It! Monday challenge but it's my Thanksgiving Day card to you all.  I am thankful for the my family and the many friends I have made all over the world through stamping.

Send me a photo of your finished project and I will feature you on my blog.  When you send it this week, add a note of why you are thankful.
