Great news...LPS will be participating in....

Want to STAMP OUT ALZHEIMER's? We do too, and hope you'll join our cause!

Jen Tapler and Susanna Boyd have been hard at work organizing "Stamping Out Alzheimers": an amazing event that you won't want to miss!! For a mere $5 donation you will have access to exclusive challenges and fun prizes from numerous different companies. And the best part..... 100% of the proceeds go directly to the Alzheimer's Association!

Little Paper Shop is hosting a sketch challenge on the Stampin' out Alzheimers forum and would love for you to join us. At the end of the event we will be drawing one name from all the entries to win 4 - 4x6 stamp sets. That's over $60 in value! But the only way to enter is on the Stampin' out Alzheimer's forum! Hope to see you there!

Also check out the LPS Blog for details on the sketch challenge for tomorrow :)

LPS Monday-A Day Early!

Life has this crazy way of getting ahead of me. But this time, I'm going to get ahead! Here is my LPS Monday Card!

This was really fun, especially because I used the new Marrakech Line from Basic Grey. I actually went to Marrakech(its near Casablanca in Morocco) so it made me reminse (although, incediently the line looks more Indian to me).

The sentiment is from the LPS Set {Make a Wish} which has great sentiments! I stamped it in Real Red from SU!. I utilized the butterfly from another one of my favorites {Butterflies and Blossoms} which I stamped in Green Galore. Then I spread an entire layer of stickles over the cut out butterfly. Lastly I sprayed the whole thing with red Tattered Angels Glitter spray.

I love the way it turned out. What do you think?

Happy Stamping!

Mom!

Sorry it took me so long to post, but alas, that is how life is. Some exciting things are happening: I am deciding between Emory Law and George Washington Law for next year. I am going to be teaching classes at a LSS this summer and working at Nordstroms. Busy, Busy!

The trip was AMAZING! I am trying to pick out a few pictures to post in the coming days. Today's project was made for my Mom for Mother's Day. It was super easy! I took an old wood SU! block that was collecting dust and painted it with White Acrylic Paint. I poured Diamond Glaze into the crease and held the letters into it in order to keep them upright (they're American Crafts stickers). Lastly, I tied a bow (American Crafts) around the edge of the block and TA DA! Simple and easy!

Happy Stamping,

Hello from DC!!!

Hello from Washington DC!! I know I haven't been able to update since I've been back, BUT I have a good excuse! I'm visiting law schools. I have lots of exciting projects which just need to get photographed, SO I will be posting on Wednesday. In the mean time, I'm gonna do a surprise blog candy. It will just be a little token of my appreciation (no biggie) for following my blog despite my long absense. To enter just comment with your favorite travel experience!

Can't wait to read all about it!

Semester at Sea

I have been dreading this post for some time. Not because, I am not totally thrilled with the reasoning behind it (because believe me, I AM), rather it is because I won't be updating as much for the next 3 1/2 months.

Why, you may ask...

Well...

Tomorrow, I leave for Nassau to go on the adventure of a lifetime. I will be Studying Abroad for my last semester of undergraduate AT SEA! The University of Virginia offers a program called "Semester At Sea" which is really a huge opportunity for me because I will literally travel all around the world.

I will be blogging via Around the World in 108 Days. I toiled with the idea of blogging my trip on this blog, but y'all didn't sign up for a travel blog so this is what I have come up with.

I hope you join me back here in a couple of months or continue on this journey with me through my Around the World Blog.

I'll miss you guys SO MUCH!!!

Happy Stamping and Bon Voyage,

Happy Release Day!!!

Here is "Tea Time", yesterday's sneak peak. This set just screams Alice in Wonderland to me. How fun is it? I colored it with copics then matted it on Real Red then a mellow green. Simple, but Oh So cute!

Today is the day!!!! You can officially purchase my FIRST EVER set!!!!! Just Click Here!!

I promised y'all some more samples. So here is a cute one I made for my mom. The Mug is from the MYOM set as is the word 'mom' and the foam. How great is that font? I love it!

One of the things I love about this set is that you can totally customize it by masking the mug.

So fun and easy!

Please let me know what you think :)

Happy Stamping!
