Behind the Stamp: While some of my stamp designs are whimsical, and some are elegant, they are always reflective of what's going on in my life. Like many artists and designers, I get stuck. In a rut. And I want to bury my head in the sand. I start thinking that I'm out of ideas, I'm not creative enough, blah, blah, blah. Then, suddenly, a friend, a relative, strangers even, will lift my spirits and that one little spark is all I need. Yep, a little spark is fuel for another good round of creative fire and - gosh, where would I be without each of you cheering Market Street on? While searching for inspiration, I came across one of my favorite poets/authors - e.e. cummings, this excerpt struck a chord: 

“We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.”

Many, many thanks to all of my friends, family members, and Market Street fans for believing in us!Jess Larsen -  How gorgeous is that color scheme? I love the whimsical stitching Jess added to her butterfly's flight path.

Look for Julie's card at Scrapbook News and Reviews January 15th!

Julie Ranae - Springtime in Paris is what I envisioned when I saw Julie's card for the first time! Simply beautiful and the soft, feminine color palette is a touch shabby chic and 100% romantic!

Sarah Jay - I adore the way Sarah created her background for this card! You must head over to her blog to find out how she created it. So simply yet what a WOW impact!

Tifany DeGough - Tifany has created this sweet CAS card using a die cut shape and a purple/aqua color combo. I love the flow of her shape and the surprise of spritz that gets lighter as your eye takes you up towards the butterfly! 

Stephanie Washburn - Another insanely beautiful background created by Steph! This looks *just like* real wood, doesn't it? Be sure to visit Steph's blog and take a look at her previous tutorials to create a similar look! 

Brenda Weaver - So creative! Who says you have stamp the entire sentiment? Not Brenda! She cropped words to highlight in her scrapbook-style card. I love this clever design!

Stephanie Muzzulin - Oooh this yellow and grey is super trendy and the beautiful unbleached twill tape is the perfect accent for Stephanie's eclectic signature style!

They all made MAGIC out of one little bitty stamp! Can't wait to show you our next sneak peek tomorrow! Join us here, same place, same time!
