Milo, a VERY talented designer from Sweden, has created the card as you see. She has a special way about her work. It is always very layered, very lush, soft colors, colors to die for, lots of embellishments. Sometimes I just stare and stare at her work and everytime I look, I see something different. Notice the tiny ANT in the grass. How cute is that? She also likes to distress the edges of her paper, which really adds a nice touch!
Milo is so into DETAIL and that’s part of what makes her work so fabulous, so creative and so TOTALLY MILO. Enjoy every bit of detail.
You can find GROW GIRL here and MILO here! Thank you Milo. You can find more fun stuff at the Designers Blog and the Stampotique Challenge Blog.

Amy (Wilson) Wellenstein sent me these WONDERFUL tags stamped with Stampotique rubber stamp images mostly from the Daniel Torrente collection. I love what she did. She said it was easy, but I don’t know. Its one thing if I did these. Its ANOTHER THING when Amy does them. She used RIT DYE, powdered form and aluminum throw-away-pans. Mix up your dye, a little bit at a time, and immerse the tags into whatever color you choose.
Hang them on a tree to dry. Once they are all dry, go CRAZY and rubber stamp up a whole bunch. Add all sorts of embellishments AND beautiful, luscious, gorgeous ribbons. You want the recipient to OOOO and AHHH when you hand them over! Amy presents these also as a ‘gift’ of sorts in that the recipient can not only enjoy LOOKING at them or hanging them on their Christmas tree, but ALSO can use them as GIFT tags on presents they give away. Pretty good idea, huh? Yeah, that Amy is pretty darn creative. Thank you Amy for this WONDERFUL idea. You’re the best. Did I say too that Amy makes the most WONDERFUL and BEAUTIFUL sterling silver jewelry?
This year she is incorporating ancient Roman glass into her creations. You can find Amy and her jewels at http://adornthewearer.blogspot Enjoy!

Remember all those that have fallen so that we might continue to enjoy our liberties. Freedom is never free.
God bless America!
