Quietfire Design Spring Blog Hop

 Welcome to your final stop in our (almost!) week long Spring Blog Hop! Thanks so much for taking the time to visit us each day. I hope you've left your comment on every blog.  Make sure you check back to see if your name has been drawn as a winner.

We have been celebrating the honour of Quietfire Design becoming a Preferred Product Partner with Spellbinders™ Paper Arts.  We are so excited!  Our objective was to show you some of the ways you can combine Quietfire Design rubber stamps with Spellbinders Dies.  You can find a slide show on the Quietfire homepage with even more examples (and I think I can add even more to that slideshow now!)

A HUGE thanks to the Quietfire Design Team and Alumni and our Created byhand Challenge Shephardess for their beautiful creations and enthusiasm!  They have really enjoyed your comments.  We've learned a lot this week and I hope you have, too! A round of applause for them! Here is the list of their blogs once again. Visit anytime, they'd be delighted to hear from you.

Grungepaper creations

New to the Quietfire Design shelves is Tim Holtz's Grungepaper. Quietfire Design Team Member Wanda Hentges loves Grungepaper and uses it frequently. She says it embosses beautifully in embossing folders and
"I love that it can be stamped, cut, embossed, die cut, inked, painted, sprayed, sewed and it stays flexible. It can get wet and it doesn't come apart. You can curl/shape it and it will hold it's shape. It's fabulous!!!!"

Here are some of Wanda's beautiful creations combining Quietfire Rubber Stamps and Grungepaper.

Grungepaper comes in a package of 6 6"x12" pieces.

12 Days of Christmas 2010 - Day 11 (Group 2)

On the 11th Day of Christmas.....

Wanda sent to me....  Wow!  Well, you can see for yourself.  Thank you so much Wanda!  Amazing.

The byhandartists 12 Days of Christmas 2010 - Day 1

This swap is so popular that there are 3 separate groups playing this year!  Unfortunately for me, I couldn't seem to put my hands on a basket for a photo of the stash before it was "necessary" to start opening the presents! 

So here is the lovely Day 1 gift from Linda T. in Alberta.  She has used the 12 Days of Christmas Rubber stamps!  I guess that's why she was asking me if I had a stamp that says "On the _ Day of Christmas my true love gave to me".  Ahem.  Quite the oversight on my part.  But in spite of my shortcomings, she made a really lovely book and OH MY! she had fun decorating the paper....  I wish I had been there playing along side her!

Thank you so much Linda!
