Stamping with Paper Piecing
Article Courtesy Scrapjazz.com: by Christine Ousley Stamping combined with paper piecing is a technique that I love to use on my cards and layouts.

These images are also perfect to use when stamping on patterned paper.

Inspired Entertaining: DIY Chalkboard Wine Glasses
Last month I got an email from one of those "deal of the day" websites featuring a very cute set of wine glasses with chalkboard stems from a company called Chalkboard China . I've seen chalkboard glasses before, and always thought them to be a fun and chic way for guests to keep track of their glass throughout the night so you don't end up with mixed-up glasses or dozens of half-full glasses left around the house.

What I like about this version is that the writing part is at the bottom on the stem and foot of the glass, so it doesn't compete with the beverage. I also like that the simple black foot on the glass is in itself an elegant design element, and would work just as well with no writing on it.

I realized I could repurpose them into something else! Here are some tutorials for recycling shirts:
