Winter Stamp Fest O8'

Be sure to check out the upcoming Winter Stamp Fest at 2 Peas in a Bucket. You can see the link to it on the right hand side of the blog. It will take place in the Stamping Forum of the website. It is a little over a month away, running February 2nd through 9th, but you can never start planning too early. Even if you don't scrapbook or stamp, still consider checking it out. There are beginners like me, but there are also some fabulous folks that do beautiful work. Consider getting some inexpensive stamps at Michael's (the rubber or acrylic stamps for a $1 are great). Joann's fabrics has sold some stamps for $1 too and they also are a great starting point. Michael's recently had a cute Thanks stamp. Making thank you cards would be a great starting point and you can always use those cards during the year. Of course home made Valentines would be fun to do during the challenge too.

Not only can you learn some great techniques, but many of the challenges come with great prizes. So, if you don't have any stamps or a small collection, who knows maybe you'll win a challenge.
