Here is my June Sketch Challenge entry at Bombshell Stamps. Hope you like it! Its perfect for summer! Cheers!

Hello and Welcome Back! Its hard to believe that I haven't updated my blog since before the holiday season. Things have been so busy! After the holidays I took a trip to visit my boyfriend in Canada. I just got back to Seattle a few days ago and re-opened the shop to a few sales, which was nice. Of course, there's snow all over Seattle right now, so my customers are experiencing delayed shipping as I have not been able to get home yet. On the bright side, everyone seems to be understanding! :-) Below is a photo of what has come to be known as "Snowpocalypse 2012" in Seattle. Going from -40 c weather with a foot of snow on the ground in Canada to Seattle's +28 weather with little snow and having the entirety of the city freak out just seems kind of odd! Anyways, in the store, the vintage stamps that I've started carrying are absolutely flying out the door. If you haven't had a chance to stop by and check them out, you should before they are all gone...

Hello Everyone. I just listed a new, unused Magnolia Tilda Mounted Rubber Stamp for sale on Ebay. Little Tilda is holding a pumpkin lantern/bucket.  This stamp is mounted and brand new but does not come with the original packaging.  Ebay Here are some photos of this Tilda stamp. Tilda is up for sale, so check out her listing here . Cheers, Xo Rachael

Hiya! Well, I was finally able to sit down and work on a few things today! I've got this sweet little card would make a great Mom card, or a nice way to say just 'enjoy your day'. I really love how it turned out. It's simple but colorful. What do YOU think? Emily Wilson (Ms June at Bombshell Stamps) sent me the image to play with. Isn't it cute? It's Sheree of InStyle Stamps. I've got Kraftin' Kimmie's Bridget (which is another bathtub image) to play with as well. Also, I finally got my Kraftin' Kimmie sets I placed an order for and I started on a new card. Also, this is the first time I've had a chance to use Richie from this '50's collection as well. I'm excited to see how this card will turn out! Thoughts? Cheers! Xo, Rachael
