Santa got here early this year!!

So I got a FedEx delivery from Hero Arts! In my last post I told you about the $50 shopping spree I won. I thought for sure I would have to pay for shipping myself but I got the shipping worth $32 too!! I placed my order and it turned out the stuff I wanted cost me a bit more than $50 but I figured, hey why not go for it when shipping is free! :) So the other day I got this awsome package with the stuff I ordered. But here's the mind blowing part...on top of the $50 and the $32 for shipping the good people at Hero Arts threw in not one, not two, not three....but six (!!!!) yes, six wood mounted stamps!! How generous is that?!!! They came in little bags with a red ribbon tied around them. Hero Arts ROCK!! Can't wait to start playing with my new goodies!

Took a couple of pictures of my goodies for you to see. Sorry about the bad pics but I took them inside with no flash.

A close up on the stamps:

and a picture of the stamps I got as a gift:

I've finally gotten some scrappin' done too!! Earlier this week I altered a clock from Kaiser Craft that I got at my LSS. The roman numbers (rubons) and the black gem stones are also from Kaiser Craft. The adorable pp is from Pink Paisley and so are the butterfly rubons. I just totally fell in love with the owl when I got that pp in my monthly kit from My Creative Scrapbook.

Last night I made a layout for a sketch challenge at My Creative Scrapbook. The talented Liz Qualman has made the sketch that you can see here: http://mycreativescrapbook.invisionzone.com/uploads/1220400902/med_gallery_4_2_93468.jpg

and here's my take on it:

The sweet girl in the pictures is my niece Evelina. Third time was the charm in getting her to smile when I took these pictures! The LO is called "At last I got a smile". The papers used here was also in my september kit from My Creative Scrapbook. The black and the turqouise pp's are from Vintage Moon. The overlay to the right in the picture is from Hambly.

That's all for now but I have a few more projects in progress so check back soon for a new post! :)
