Dreams of cupcakes & crowns and flowers & flight! Sent in by Sherry S. She used Crowned Alice & the White Rabbit from the Alice in Wonderland section of MadRat Rubber. Find out more about what she used in this piece & see more of her work @ Esprit*d'Art. Thanks Sherry!
I received this card in the mail from Linn P. She used my Owls stamp found in the Animals & Halloween pages of MadRatRubber. Thanks Linn!
Scroll Pin by Jen Worden. She used my Frog Skeleton stamp, not sure how she did this but be sure to visit her web, she's got some great challenges. There's a couple that I've been meaning to do but haven't found the time yet. She just posted some really cool etched pieces, (one of which used my Perch Skeleton stamp). I've been dying to try some etching for ages. Hopefully I'll get be some etching supplies (and time) before too much longer. Thanks Jen!

Our remodel is coming along just fine, this weekend we got the new floor put in & attached the new baseboards. Today we changed out the ugly beige outlet & switches & installed the new toilet. We're back to being a 2 potty family, Yaa! If you want to see our progress go here.
FYI: Gretchen, the frog was simply stamped onto the metal using titanium white acrylic paint. Easy peasy. An overwash of quin gold/black gives it the aged effect. Thanks for making such great rubber! :)
