Anyway, here is a sampling of my Pleated Projects including a really fun memo board that we made at our Scramping Retreat a few years ago. We make some great project at the retreat that I know you are not want to miss out on!

Just Added Sultry and Sugared

Hi Stamping and Scrapping Friends,

We just received a shipment in from Basicgrey and we now have the Sultry collection in select sheets as well as the 12x12 collection and 6x6 paper pads. We also received the Sugared collection in the 6x6 paper pads. Don't you just love a little BasicGrey?!

You view and purchase all the BasicGrey items at the website www.thestampingstudio.com in the Store, in the BasicGrey section.

New Discovery!

Hey stamping friends,

I am so excited!.... I discovered that you can emboss overhead transparency sheets and they look so cool. I had a chance to stamp this morning and I grabbed a clear transparency sheet and walked by my Cuttlebug machine and thought.... I wonder how it would look embossed. I was pleasantly surprised! It is hard to photograph the embossing on the clear sheets but I think you get the idea and it is really impressive looking on a finished card. So give it try yourself and let me know what you think!

Suzanne's DT Challenge Projects

Design team member Suzanne Milam (and rubber stamp designer) just added her Design Team challenge projects to the website. Here is a preview of one of the cards and if you look closely you will see that the flower was created from a mini cupcake liner that she fringed with scissors. How clever is that?!!
You can view all of Suzanne's challenge projects in her gallery that can be found in the "Studios by TSS Stampers" section of the website http://www.thestampingstudio.com/ and hers is the 3rd one down "Suzanne M" or click here; http://64.53.24.48/cgi-bin/a_gall.exe?page=1&show_gallery=go&gallery_id=89

He Stamping Friends,

Here is todays Seak Peak stamp set called Regular Joe. This set will celebrate our love for coffee and is also a great set to use for the men in our life. Hope you like it and where is my coffee cup.....

Sneak Peek 2

Here is your Sneaky Peaky for today!

All of these sayings are from Suzanne Milam and I just love, love the saying "This is more than a card it's a hug with a fold in the middle". That is going to be a great one to use! I also love the little orchid image.

Check back tomorrow for another Sneak Peak.

Added Clips to Etsty Store

Here are some cute Jumbo Binder Clips that I added to my Esty store. They stand almost 4" tall and I like to use them as photo holders. They would look great on a mantel or just standing on your desk. They can also be used as regular binder clips and can hold up to 1". They make a wonderful gift item... or split them up to make 3 gift items for your friends, or how about teachers?

You can accecss my etsty store from the link on upper right side of the blog or http://StudioGirl.etsy.com

New Rubber

I am so excited to announce we have 6 new stamps set on the way! These were made in collaboration with Suzanne Milam (she did all the words, phrases, and fonts!) and are just charming and I can't wait to stamp with them.

Here is a Sneak Peek for today and will give you anther one tomorrow, so check back!

This is called "Take Joy" and has a wonderful silhouette of a girl holding a dove and a butterfly is joining in on the fun. The butterfly can be used with the girl, or as a separate image. The girl and flying friends measure about 3x2.5 and the saying 3x1.25.
