What's New?
I just came back from Vancouver, partly to visit friends and family
and partly for business. I was there for just over 1 week and did 2
workshops...they went well. Came back to a town full of Cowboys and some
sizzling temperatures...the Cowboys that came for the Calgary Stampede most
of brought the beautiful weather!
Workshops
Cards for Charity - There is currently 5 ladies involved with the
project right now. We get together once a month and each of us designs a
simple card and supplies the materials to make minimum 10 cards, we get
together at someone's house and pop off 50 cards / 5 different designs and
than donate it to a charity / organization of choice. We are currently
looking for more individuals to join our monthly group. For more
information please email

Christmas in August - Starting Saturday August 21st I will be hosting a

Tips and
Techniques
Cleaning Your Stained Stamps - A good idea to do before your stamps ever get
stained is to use a clear acrylic spray gloss on the wood, 3 light coats,
dry between coats and than wait 48 hrs before mounting your stamps but, if
your stamps are already stained you can use Simple Green which is safe for
the wood and rubber. You use 2 0z of Simple Green and 1 quart of water in a
spray bottle, if the stain is really tough you can use a soft toothbrush.
Don't forget to re-condition your stamps afterwards. You can also use any
clear nail polish for your stamp sets that have already been mounted. Apply
2 coats.
