Who Wants To Win Some Stamps?
It may be a bit self-serving, but I'm totally in love with these stamps I designed for Scrapbook Takeout! They're unmounted, red rubber stamps. I used a pair of Kai Scissors to cut them apart (as close to the design as possible). Some people mount the stamps on cling foam, but you can also place a mouse pad underneath your paper instead. Basically, the rubber needs a cushion. Both methods work.
I'm giving away a full set of these stamps to one lucky commenter. So, let's check them out...
I call this my bubble wrap corner. I scanned an actual print I made with bubble wrap and then digitally manipulated it in order to create this one.
These are my doodle circles. I hand drew each of them. You can use them to create backgrounds, make buttons, and they're great for creating frames and borders.
And here is the circle border. A very cool stamp. It's just under five inches long and overlaps beautifully - an easy way to make frames and borders! I'm going to try using it to create an entire background!
If you'd like to win all of these stamps, just leave a comment letting me know which is your favorite of the stamps. I will choose a random winner on Sunday, August 24 at 11:59pm. So, leave a comment before then!
And finally, here is today's Sultane project. This one was inspired by Zentangles. It's a type of dense doodling that I've been doing for years, but it appears to have a name now! Most importantly, this layout features my new red hair (which is quickly fading to orange)!
Thanks for stopping by!








wow I love all of the stamps Julie, but to pick my fav favourite, I think the circle border.
Fantastic layout btw, love your doodling so much.

Wow, those stamps are sweet! My favorite is the bubble wrap corner...but I love using bubblewrap and paint/ink on evrything, so I may be a bit biased! Great job on the stamps though, as well as that fantastic layout.

These stamps are so cool! For me it's a toss up between the bubble wrap corner and the circle border.

These stamps are great I love them all but my fave has to be the Cirle border. I can see me using it for so many different things.

I *love* all of your stamps (as Linda from My Kits and Pieces will attest!). My favourite of this lot has to be EITHER the bubble wrap one or the tiny concentric circles one - can't decide which, as they're both *so* useable!!!!!!
