Africa This is a card inspired by one of my very favourite card makers Teresa Momber  The stamps I used are Unity  and the sponging inks are Momento. The reason why I love Teresa's cards so much, apart from the fact that it has step by step instructions (no hard work for me) is that they look like paintings or sceneries. Just amazing! Check out her site you will be inspired too!

Blogcandy from Andrea's S tampin Moments There is some gorgeous Blog candy available from Andreas Stampin Moments for her 3 year anniversary. Go check it out. I love this site it has some delicious cards using stamps from Annabelles Stamps YUM!!

Whew!!!!!! I have just done an absolute marathon bloghop with Wags 'n Whiskers Stamps. They have just released the most adorable fairy stamp set. I just love them especially the Lacey. Go over and check it out. You won't be sorry. They are also giving away 2 stamps of your choice on 3 different blogs, so 3 times the chances. Gotta love that!

For a great pattern for a wrap check this out! Oh, Scrap! Wrap. (from Knitty Gritty)

Scottie Dog This is what first drew me to the Toy Society. How darn cute is that! Now while this talented lady gives us the use of the pattern to use for personal use, it is unfortunate that some will use it for business. Please don't use it for your business as some of these talented people will stop giving us patterns to use for free and, well frankly, I am not that talented to be able to come up with a pattern! See below if you feel you would like to do some good.... The Toy Society spreads love throughout the streets of the world. Nothing to it really just a bunch of handmade toys looking for a nice home. What started as a small street art project in Australia is slowly spreading around the world. Should you come across a member of The Toy Society on your travels collect them up and take them home with you! But don't forget to let us know about it here. http://thetoysociety.blogspot.com/
