Love seeing where you are stamping? Clear stamps certainly offer this advantage over rubber (I own and love many clear stamp sets). However, Stampin' Up!'s Stamp-a-ma-jig (Spring/Summer Collection, p. 184) gives you a window to perfect stamping.

I have had the misfortune of about 48 hours of technology nightmares. Ever been there? However, I believe (hope, pray, beg) that I’m over the computer catastrophe hump. No, I didn’t really destroy …
This card is for a 12 year old boy, who is very dear to my heart. He's working through a lot of personal issues so I felt "journey" was an appropriate sentiment and encouragement. I began with a Pumpkin Pie card base. I used Jersey Shore designer paper for a strong contrast. Another design from …
