Last week I drove to Johnson City, Tennessee- home of Grace Publications.

I picked up copies of my first book, "Stamp-a-Card"
If you are interested, email me at heidiscards@aol.com

The book is only $9.95 plus shipping.

It's a GREAT first book, filled with gorgeous color, detailed instructions and even project variations.

As an avid stamper, I'm always looking for cool new stamps.
I met a couple who run B Line Designs.
Their stamps are awesome!
Check them out!

Today I spent the afternoon with the high school art club.

It was a lot of fun! I brought various kinds of Ranger inks and products and we all played.

I love having other people play because inevitably, someone will do something in a new way.

It opens your mind to see things done in a new way. If you are struggling with "artist's block", get some friends over and play! Even friends who have never stamped before will give you ideas.

Or, get a new book.

I am reading "Collage Discovery Workshop" by Claudine Hellmuth. She is amazing and the techniques blow me away.

This girl is my FAVORITE stamp.

I have used her so many times! She has already been published four times. 100 Proof Press makes this excellent stamp and many many others.

I have permission from the owner to turn her into a tattoo. Now I just need to get up the courage to do it!

Keep reaching for what you want in life!

Fun Ranger Card

Tim Holtz has some great rubber stamps.
I love this retro car!

Make sure you check out the Adirondack Arylic Paint Dabbers. I used them to create this card.

They are fun, easy to use and the color vibrancy is amazing!
