This last weekend, we enjoyed a Christmas card class using Rosie's Roadshow's new holiday stamps. They are just the most adorable stamp images and sentiments; Linda's humor is so wonderful! There are a few of the stamps left that were brought down on Saturday . . . you might want to rush over to Art 'n Soul to check them out.
These card samples are all A2 size.

| by Rosie's Roadshow The star above the hen house is a separate stamp. We used a very light blue sparingly in the "snow" to show it's whiteness; it was very effective! The photo doesn't show it, but the cloud stencil was used with a light blue ink applied with a dauber. Very nice effect. |
 |
| by Rosie's Roadshow Kerri McTarsney was very clever with this card; the duck had extra space from the Santa's, so she hand drew a Santa bag for the duck. It turned out very very cute! |

From the Penny Black site, Peet Roeven has created a Halloween card that I really really like! Considering Halloween is one of my very favorite events of the year, I have been very restrained in offering more Halloween creativity. Boo!

For those of you who like to sketch your own subject for a card, Dina drew these pinecones at the suggestion of her son. Dina then used multiple mediums to achieve the effect she wanted on a 4-inch Art Square from Inchie Arts.

I had earlier said that effective October 1, I would no longer post to this blog. With a very busy schedule at the end of September and beginning of October, I wasn't able to fit in what I still wanted to share. So, here I am one last time.
Art 'n Soul will be starting its own blog very shortly. When it is up and running, I will post their new blog address on this site, as well as my new blog address. This blog site will remain for you to return to for previous postings; if you're searching for something specific, be sure to use the "search" feature at the upper left corner of this page.
As I continually repeat, I will be a continuing customer and class student at Art 'n Soul, one of the best fine art rubber stamp stores in the Pacific Northwest . . . it really does have its own niche that isn't duplicated anywhere nearby. Please be sure to share your discovery of Art 'n Soul with your creative friends!
Night!
