Stamping Mad March Carnival

Welcome to the March 17, 2007 edition of the Stamping Mad carnival. This is a very small carnival, but well worth reading, since it discusses the Crop-A-Dile, a new tool I’ve been wanting to try:

The Angel Company Spring Rubber Stamps

The Angel Company has such cute stamps in the spring supplement. Oopsie daisies is the most adorable set of daisy stamps. By the way, if you weren’t sure if altered art is becoming mainstream, the blank candy tins and chipboard books in the spring supplement should remove all doubt!

The pat answer is to just start working anyway. However, I don’t think that’s always the right answer. If you’re trying to work through Artist’s Block […]

Studio 432 in Perryville Maryland

You wouldn’t believe what I found today, practically right up the street. I almost bought this neat old building a few years ago to renovate for a house, but I decided it was more than I could handle. It was a church with a loft and annexes and it needed a ton of work. Seeing […]
