Monkey House: A Complete Guide to Rubber Stamp Pads and Inks. As someone who’s been involved with rubber stamping for more than 25 years, I truly appreciate the vast array of stamp pads that are currently available on the market.
There are so many stunning colors, and so many specialty inks that can be used to produce amazing effects! But I’ve got to admit that all these choices can get a bit overwhelming. How can you possibly hope to make sense of all the different brand names and types of ink?

Scrappy Soo: Teresa Collins Stampmaker Review. On Tuesday night while casually surfing the Create&Craft site I came across the Teresa Collins Stampmaker.

" last thursday i spent the day at the Studio with the intention of painting on some too-large-for-my-home canvases. i actually dont normally go to the Studio to create, i am most comfortable creating at home, but because of the sizes of the canvases i decided to make a day of it and venture the 1.5 miles down the road from my house and use the Studio as my muse. i had 3 canvases going at once (Stephen and i are planning an event that pairs my mixed-media free-spirited style with his fine art figure painting abilities and i was supposed to be working on that, i never got there, lol!!)

Yesterday found me pulling out my Ten Second Studio metal.
I haven't played with it in a while and was really just looking for something to add to another project, but I got the inspiration to use up some of my scraps on a mirror.
