Awesome New Sunflower Set, Recipe Album, Winner for 4 Flower Sets and More

Hi Everyone, our New Sunflower Digital Stamp Set is finished and I'm so excited with how it turned out, I think it's my new fave set!  We also have a random.org lucky winner #8 Birgit who has won all 4 of our Flower Sets in Dalhias, Poppies, Roses and Sunflowers. Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful comments and encouraging words!

This set has 23 great designs including the originals from the Clear Sunflower Set which has sold out as well as a folder with 20 of the designs and words in a brown sepia tone.

I really like how the designs look in the brown and will post some samples ASAP!  You can see the sizes on the preview sheet above if you click it on larger. Many of them are at least 4" x 5" all the way up to 10", plus 12" borders!  You can change the black PNG files to any color and I have a previous Tutorial on How To Change a PNG Stamp To Any Color using Adobe Photoshop Elements.

Here are some samples that were created in the past before this new Sunflower Set.

If you don't feel like coloring check out this beautiful Sunflower card by DT Member Diane Hover. Diane used the Sunflower image from our Color Digital Flowers Set which is just $1.95 and can be re-printed over and over again.

Birgit was lucky # 8 and won all 4 of our Floral Stamp Sets.

Remember I showed a peek of the Rose card by DT Leader Kathy Clement . She posted about it on her Blog and has all the details using our new expanded Roses Digital Set.

 ILook at this adorable 6" x 6" Recipe Album that DT Member Sheila Rumney created using images from our Homemade Booklet for a Scrappy Gourmet Recipe Album Kit she designed. You can see photos of all the pages here on Sheila's Blog. 

      You can see all the pages on Sheila's Blog. The Kit includes all the images, tags, paper, album, even the wooden spoon!

I love how Darlene Pavlick colored this knapsack and added it 3D on her card. The image is from our Little One's Booklet, which are on clearance for .99 cents!

  I also wanted to give you an update on our 'house for sale' I posted about last time and I was so sad the offer that fell through. We got a new offer and we find out this weekend if they get their financing. We've found a townhouse we love and made an offer subject to this house selling - so I'm on pins and needles. It's exciting and so scary as we built this house and have been here for over 20 years. I will let you know what happens and - thanks so much for all your encouraging comments!

Wising you joy and creativity

Antique Expo Show 2013 Photos, Toilet Roll Recipe Album, Pretty Cards and Layouts!

Hi Everyone,  we had a great time selling at the Antique Expo Show in Portland and I have a bunch of photos to share below. You can also read my past posts Tips to French Flea Markets and our trip to the famous 6000 booth Brimfield Antique Show in farmers fields outside of Boston. First, I have some great samples by our talented design team ladies to share.

Check out this fun toilet roll recipe album that DT Member Kathy Clement created and decorated with papers from CD 1, Creating with Vintage Patterns, our Domestic Goddess Scraps and Kitchen Time Cut (now digital) 

DT Member Elizabeth Lincoln printed the glove from our Garden Style Digital Stamp set and created this classy white glove by embossing it on vellum with a matching tag . It makes a great gift holder to tuck in a gift card, tickets or invitation to lunch/tea. 

DT Member Darlene Pavlick has a great little tutorial on her blog showing how she made 

this sweet baby frame using the Rosebud and Stripe .99 cent Printable Paper Set

Here's a pretty card by DT Member Melissa Bove using a garden image with some of our printable embossed looking paper.

I like how DT Member Sheila Rumney changed the the girl and sentiment from our 

Garden Girl Stamp Set (now digital) to blue to match her paper.  You can see her tutorial here on 'How to Change Colors' using Photoshop Elements.

Sheila also created this pretty digital layout using Wild Roses Printable Paper 99 cent set and the word Cherish is from Angel Blessings Digital Stamp set.

I love this sweet photo and layout DT Leader Vicki Chrisman did using this photo from her Whatevers Photo Challenge with our Photo Studio Stamp Set.  You can get details and the photo from Vicki's Blog if you want to join in.

Here's a bunch of photos from the Portland Show we sold at over the weekend. It's a very strange set up as 'early buyers' can come in Friday the same time as they let the vendors in to set up. It's great for the buyers but a little hectic for sellers.

 

It was so nice out all weekend and there were so many sellers outside we heard sales were down a bit for vendors inside - but it was nice a cool inside.

I have a thing for old hardware so I fell in love with this booth but owner Albie was just setting up  and I never made it back.  We may do a road trip to California in Aug and go see him at the Alameda Point Antiques Faire and sell there.  It's the largest antique show in
Northern California. Held on the 1st Sunday of every month with over 800 booths.  Next show is Aug 4/13

Check out this beautiful collection of antique embroidery floss

What an adorable little poem on this dolly's bed

Scott liked this cozy chair and ottoman

Here's our booth inside.  We sold a bunch of the letterpress alphabets for over $100.00 a set and several word combinations. They were really popular, even for people buying a mix of 3 or 4 styles of the same letter for a initial.

Our CD's also sold well at the show.  I think people who like old images  don't want to cut up the real thing, so they loved the idea of being able to re-size and re-print the papers and images.

I was smitten by this booth in the next 2 photos but I can't remember the owners name. He has a spot in the Monticello Antique Marketplace in SE Portland and the store looks worthy of a visit!

Love the cut of this jacket

Hats and all sorts of vintage clothing from Victorian styles to retro funky

Who doesn't love vintage kitchey stuff to add homey appeal to a kitchen.

There was a lot of amazing jewelery in every price range

There were a bunch of booths with unique upcycling and furniture re-do items

I would love to hear what you think of these old plaster patterns?

 I will be adding some new items on my next post


Wishing you joy & creativity 

Sandy Redburn
