Tamara's bday hop

Welcome to our very special birthday blog hop for our Queen, Tamara. Today Miss Tamara is celebrating her “21st” birthday and the family wanted to celebrate with a surprise birthday hop. 

To help us out in the celebration, we asked a few of our loyal followers to join in with us. I hope you all enjoy the hop and don’t forget to leave lots of Birthday Wishes for Tamara here on the blog  
The hop will end on February 24th. One lucky participant will receive the digi used on the
families projects, Gwenavere, all you have to do is leave a comment on all blogs and at

the end (which is the stamping chef blog) comment that you have left some love
for all . The winner will be posted on February 25th.

Here is the way Miss Gwenavere presented herself to me.


I used my Promarkers to color Gwenavere. The caption and castle are stamps that I used Zing embossing powder on. I colored the castle and sky with my Pebble Inc. chalks. The colored jute is from My Life in Arts and Crafts.
A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAMARA.
Please continue on to Audry's blog.

Fire or Ice Blog Hop

This hop is based on the famous poem "Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost. Even though the poem is of the humankind's demise I still love it. Every time I hear this poem, shades of reds and blues dance in my head.


Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.


My projects aren't done yet but hopefully they'll be done this morning.  These pretty digital stamps from The Stamping Chef work beautifully when you think of blue and red.




Now please continue on to Lynne's blog.

Oh, don't you just love to shop? It's in our blood. It's in our genes and we are born to shop. My 8 year old daughter constantly wants to go to the mall and I'm not a mall person but point me in the direction of a craft store.... Well you get where I'm going with this so The Stamping Chef has created a stamp that does hommage to our shopping needs, wants and abilities.


Don't you just love her! The Stamping Chef has many more cute stamps for all occasions so clink THE STAMPING CHEF and see this cutie and many, many more.

My Life in Arts N Crafts DT Day

Hello all,

Today I would like to showcase so cute little Valetine's boxes I made. I added different twines such as the new gold shimmer and mesh ribbon in red to make each box unique.

There are so many things you can do with colorful twine and mesh ribbon in red and My Life in Arts N Crafts Etsy Store is the place to begin!


Thanks for stopping by and until next time... Hugs from Lorby's World.
