Here's my latest altered art journal. I've never been much of a "stamper," but all of a sudden I really like the idea of stamping things onto some of my favorite vintage papers. I found this dress stamp, and I love it! So, this was my first try with the dress stamp. I think I love it!
You may have noticed that I've been AWOL the last week or so. Well, I was lucky to be on vacation with my family in BEAUTIFUL Grayton Beach, Florida. The pic above is not altered or enhanced at all -- that is what the beach really looked like! I couldn't believe how blue the water was, and the powdery white sand.... my goodness. It was like being in the Caribbean, without having to travel to the Caribbean! So, if you are lucky and live in Florida (or, even if you live closer than the 11 hour drive that we had) you must go and take advantage of this glorious beach!
Here's another fun Christmas treasury! I'm so pleased that my vintage Bingo cards were included! Thanks, Bailiwickdesigns.etsy.com, for including me in your festive treasury! There are lots of cute things to see, so here's the link so you can go check out all of these great Christmas items!
Oh, goodness! How fab is this??? Cosmo Cricket revealed their new product lines today -- this is the Christmas line. I love, love, love it! Lately I've been very into non-traditional Christmas colors (even though my house decor for Christmas is largely traditonal red and green). Anyway, this line is so fun and pink! Can't wait to get my hands on it! For more sneak peeks of this line, as well as the other new lines from Cosmo Cricket, visit their website (there's a link over there ------> to the right).
Today's the kick-off for the Etsy Cottage Style Street Team's Christmas in July promotion! When you go to search on Etsy, just put in "cssteam" and "christmas in july" and you'll pull up all sorts of fabulous items!! I've added some great vintage Christmas linens, trims, Christmas paper punches, and even a Christmas altered art journal to my shop -- so get a jump on your Christmas shopping and take advantage of this neat event!
Last week when I was out doing my estate sale rounds, I happened to notice this pink satin vintage dress. Normally, when I'm out shopping, I'm very focused, and I don't even look at vintage clothes. But this dress caught my eye. Pink, satin, lace appliques, sequins, tiny pink pearls -- and a huge train!!! I kept passing by it, thinking about it, but finally decided I was being silly and frivilous (because it's way too small to ever fit me, and I have nothing to use it for) and so I left it behind. 
It's Thursday, and around here that means it's treasure-hunting day! I was out early to do my estate-sales rounds. It was hit-or-miss -- no lace today (always a bummer), but I did find a few neat things to get excited about. The most exciting find was this vintage music game -- full of cards with all sorts of fabulous music graphics. I think these have all sorts of fun crafting possibilities! I'm keeping some for my stash, and some will go in the etsy shop.
I finished the cupcake journal today and got it into the etsy shop. The fabulous vintage chocolate label paper makes me long for a Hershey bar!
I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July! We'll be spending time in the pool, trying to beat the heat, and celebrating with family. I'm feeling thankful, grateful and blessed on this 4th; but my thoughts are also with our service men and women in harm's way. Let's keep them in our thoughts and prayers.
