My blog is not updating anywhere...from Google Reader to Blog Rolls. I have not touched any settings, and I'm thinking that it started when Blogger changed their look. Any help would be greatly appreciated:)

Thomas Kincade Cling Stamps at Cornish Heritage Farms
Hello and welcome here!
If you are a Thomas Kinkade stamp fan - today is your day! CHF is proud to announce that
they are once again, offering Thomas Kinkade stamps! They have 9 beautiful images up NOW on their store website with more to come in
the next few months.
During the last few months, they have had
an overwhelming number of requests to release Thomas Kinkade in
cling - and they listened! The new Thomas Kinkade stamps are the same super high quality,
deeply etched red
rubber stamps that you have become accustomed to, with
one slight difference - they are now being offered on CLING
mounting!
Their research has found that most people
prefer cling mounting to wood mounting 5 to 1! Not only does cling mounting
give you more space to store your awesome Thomas Kinkade stamps, they also cost
less so you can literally afford MORE Thomas Kinkade stamps! Please keep in
mind, the rubber is the same - just less to store!
We hope you enjoy their first TK offering
and they look forward to bringing you more Thomas Kinkade in the months to
come!
Enjoy!

I love my Spellbinders Floral Ovals, they have such a lacey feel to them. Don't you just love the tea cup? I used the CHF Digital Stamp called Tea Cup. I also used the CHF Rubber Stamp called Beautiful (the swirls around the Tea Cup image). Both are in the store now, just click on the links. It's difficult to see, but I added Gold Gel Pen along the lines on the tea cup, and around the top lip, and I added Silver Gel Pen to the spoon handle...you can see it shining a bit in the photo above. I added Gold Ice Stickles to my flowers for a bit of sparkle.

Top Tip Tuesday Stars 'n Stripes Challenge
Hello and welcome here! It's time for another Top Tip Tuesday Challenge, yay, this time the Challenge is Independence Day or Stars 'n Stripes. And as you can see from my creation, I used stars and stripes, but not in the typical colours you probably imagined. Over at TTT you'll find some great Tips from the DT, so be sure to pop by and check them out...plus you'll find more inspiration for the Challenge.
I left the image a little darker so that you could see the shine and sparkle. I used aluminum duct tape and a star punch for the corner stars (found at the local hardware store, I peeled the backing off and stuck it to cardstock before punching), and stickles for the stars along the edge of the image. I finished it off with an arrow paper clip that I found at Office Depot.
Challenge - Independence Day or Stars 'n Stripes
Tips - from the DT
Card Size: 4.25" x 5.5"
I used this super cute image from Bugaboo called Theodore - Birthday Sign. I love images that can be used for a guy or girl...I chose guy colours this time around.

Top Tip Tuesday Sparkles Galore Challenge
Hello and welcome here! It seems summer weather is finally here, and the kids are loving it. It's time for another Top Tip Tuesday Challenge, and as the title says it's Sparkles Galore...in celebration of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. On that note, I wanted to share my excitement with you on my hubby being honoured with Canada's Diamond Jubilee medal for his service to Canada!! Lisa has a great Tutorial on Painting Faux Crackle Stained Glass Images, so be sure to head over to TTT.
Challenge - Sparkles Galore
Tutorial - Lisa's Painting Faux Crackle Stained Glass Images
Card Size: 5" x 5"
It's difficult to see in this photo, but this cutie-pie called Molly Fairy 2 from Stamp Fairy, has lots of sparkles. I added some Silver Ice Stickles to her wings, some Gold Ice Stickles to the sparkles from the wand, Gold Glitter to the star on her wand, and Pink Glitter to her shoe. I also added a Rhinestone border to the edges, and the purple mat is cut from Glitter Paper...so definitely Glitter Galore:)
