FUN WITH STATE STAMPS!!

As a part of the preview of new items in the new Annual Inspirations Idea Book, I showed you the Ohio state stamp in one of my August posts.

Very trendy right now are signs made with state silhouettes, especially ones that say "Home" where the "O" is a silhouette of the state.

Here are some of my own 5x7 pieces of artwork featuring my Home of Ohio:

These were simple and fun to make!

The stamp sets are available in all United States and all Canadian provinces and territories. You can see the actual stamp on my Online Business Address at shirleyventresca.ctmh.com.

Order one (or more!) for yourself and share your artwork!

Have a MARVelous time crafting everyone!

EXTENDED

I've extended my Facebook Party order date to Sept. 7th!   Anyone wishing to place an order can do so by going to shirleyventresca.ctmh.com and joining the Facebook Party New Idea Book gathering.

HAPPY NATIONAL STAMPING MONTH!

September is National Stamping Month!  I know I am going to do my best to spend a lot of time celebrating this!

I can't wait to use CTMH's September Stamp of the Month - PAPER GARDEN.  It's a beautiful flower stamp that makes incredible silhouettes and can be used to make awesome layered flowers. I've seen many examples of other stampers work with this stamp and this weekend - thankfully a long one! - I'll be adding my own art to these!  Stay tuned to see!

In celebration of National Stamping Month, CTMH has a great campaign called HELLO LIFE! with 3 special stamp sets available for this month only! Each stamp set is designed to fit with a specific type of papercrafting - traditional scrapbooking, cardmaking, or pocket scrapbooking.  Best of all, the stamp sets coordinate with each other!

How will you be celebrating National Stamping Month?  I'd love to see what you do!!

Have a MARVelous time crafting everyone!

NEVERMORE

Not only will there be a new CTMH Annual Idea Book coming out Sept. 1st, but there will also be a Holiday Expressions book with special items available for a limited time. One of these is NEVERMORE, a Halloween paper pack. Here's a peek at the papers... and if you join the FB party you'll get to see another cool item from the Holiday Expressions book that I used along with the Nevermore papers. HINT: Think STEAMPUNK!!

LOVE MY STATE!

Even if stamping isn't your prime craft you have to love these new state stamps!! Of course, Ohio is the heart of it all! But CTMH has all 50 states, plus all the Canadian provinces - and they're only $2.95!. You know you want one... but which state has your heart???

FUN FACT
