Lost Coast Designs is open catalog right now and Dianne is anxious to gather the orders to send in. A few of their border stamps were used in the recent Washi Tape class when we made our own washi tapes by stamping on tissue paper, so I am going to focus on what is offered in that category. All are available in cling-vinyl cushion or unmounted.

Please stop by the store to see the many, many other images from Lost Coast Designs in their catalog to put your order together. Linda has some of the best stamp designs! Several of their stamps are also available in wood mount.

From Imagine Crafts featuring Tsukineko . . . go to this link (Tack 'N Peel from Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko as a stamping block Link) and see the great idea John Petersen has for using their Tack 'N Peel.

"We are ok in sunny California but I know there are a lot of people waiting for Spring so I thought I use the Tulips to make a card. I used the Tombow markers for coloring and our watercolor paper (nr 901). The Peel Off's that are used are the Tulips (nr 0491) in gold, the Happy Birthday (397) in gold and the Red Glitter lines (nr 7010). I also used a Transfer Sheet (nr 600) to transfer the negative part of the Tulip to our Double Sided Adhesive (nr 502) and added the True Red Silk Microfine Glitter (nr 614) and polished it."

I am so very behind on blog postings, AIR projects for Imagine Crafts and class development but I will surface. We've had the divine pleasure (and challenge!) of babysitting Cecilia since yesterday afternoon and tomorrow morning she meets back up with her mom in Seattle. I never imagined that keeping track of our 16-month old bundle of joy and happiness would consume every waking moment and hour; when she naps, it's all I can do to clean up the kitchen and think about what we're fixing for the next snack or meal. Of course, I wouldn't change a darn thing! Especially when she comes running to me and gives Gammy multiple hugs around the legs because she's so happy.

A funny thing happened. Changing Cecilia's diaper was the first priority this morning when we awoke. Grandpa was 'on it' and changed it. However, he didn't realize that her onesie goes underneath her jammy bottoms, not on top!
