I have more exciting news today! I received an email from Gina K a month or so ago telling me about a new line of stamps she was introducing. What she described to me was just hilarious and I told her that when I was able to get that set, I would probably be doing cartwheels and round offs down the boulevard. I explained to her I only did that once a year, and that was when the kids went back to school after the long summer vacation. She promptly said she might have to send them to me just for the video footage that I had to send to her. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! My flabby butt probably couldn’t get 1″ off the ground these days.

A few weeks passed and then one day I received an urgent PM from Gina to give her a call. She asked if I wanted to be on a Special Design Team to work on the new line, Tickle Your Funny Bone. Can you imagine Her Royal Badness saying no to Gina K. – Especially when it came to twisted and funny? I think not! I am so honored and delighted to be working with Gina K and the rest of her fabulous Design Team in introducing Gina’s newest line of stamps. Of course, you will have to wait to see the new sets, but I do have a sample for you today of another Gina K. Designs stamp, Seafood Surprise.

I stamped the image in Distress Ink on Georgia Pacific White, and then colored with Copic markers. The corners on the sentiment were rounded off with a 1″ circle punch. I know I sew on cards most times, but please take special note today. This sewing was done on Jeanne’s new sewing machine. How could I spend two weeks in Texas and go through sewing withdrawal? When we were shopping yesterday, we just happened to be Target and I pointed out the sewing machine I have at home (which Jeanne took a little interest in) and before we knew it, the machine had jumped off the shelf and into the cart! WOO HOO! Of course, we had to do a little reorganizing in Jeanne’s stamp room to make everything fit and work, but well worth the 4+ hours it took yesterday.
