New Stamps = New inspiration

I don't know about you but whenever I get something new, the old seems to come alive with it. I have the same with clothes as I do with stamps.... not that I am always adding to my collection mind you - no I am very careful when it comes down to purchasing a stamp because it has to be versatile! On the other hand, when a lovely blog reader decides to send you a new stamp - well, that is just a little bit of heaven on earth for me!


And thats what happened this week. Jill Wright sent me one of the new 2012 stamps from Hero Arts, the 'Frame with Scrolls'. It has given me loads of joy already! Actually she sent me a beautiful little package and spoiled me, I was really touched! Thank you Jill for bringing my inspiration and use of older stamps back to life again!


Here I used the frame twice and cut them out.


This one uses one of my favorite stamps all time, the Hydrangea from Hero Arts.

We are still having cold winds here, although the sun is shining. I am so thankful to God for a warm house to snuggle in against the cold!
Have a super week!!

  7. Wow! A gorgeous stamp and so sweet for a friend to send it to you. I agree, a new stamp, embellishment, or clothing accessory, can energize you! Stay warm. Yvonne

  10. Hoi Jaqueline,
    Heb eerst weer eens een beetje bijgelezen op jouw blog. Ikliep een beetje achter. Te druk met genieten hier buiten! Het is nog lekker fris, maar waarschijnlijk de laatste echt koude dag hier. Momenteel sneeuwt het nog een beetje. Ik geniet er zo van!
    Bij jullie wat minder koud. Maar ik ben jaloers op jouw achtertuin!! Wat mooi, die bergen! (heb nog nooit echte bergen in het echt gezien)
    Je nieuwe stempel is ookheel mooi! Fijn dat je weer zo creatief bezig kunt zijn, ook in de keuken;)
    Lieve groet,
    Wilmi

  23. Oh! These are beyond beautiful and I am so thrilled how you used the frame stamp! It is so "you" and I love how you created one of your stunning collage cards. This made my day!
    What flower stamps did you use on the first card? Is it one stamp or a variety?
