Blog candy winner announced!!



Picked by random number generator... This weeks random picker was my husband!



I told him to pick a number from 1-84 and he said "number one"

I replied, "are you serious, no one picks number one"

he answers, "sure, why not, its as good a number as any"


I think about this for a moment and realize he is right. Why not number one? Whats wrong with number one!? Sooo, number one... Stephanie.. CONGRATS!! You're our winner! It just goes to show you its not necessarily a bad thing to be the first comment poster on a blog candy!


CONGRATULATIONS!

CLOISONNE TECHNIQUE - VIDEO TUTORIAL

How cool is this... earlier this morning I got an email from the one and only Suze Weinberg, the rubber stamping, mixed media pioneer, author, and continually innovating Queen of UTEE from Suze Weinberg studios ( http://www.schmoozewithsuze.com/ )

When I first started going to stamp conventions I would see Suze at her trade show booth demonstrating all these fantastically original and utterly delicious melt art projects. I was in AWE. I had seen her on TV on the Carole Duvall Show, I had her books and now I got to see her in real life! Of course I snapped off a few photos of her demoing ( she even has a page in my scrapbook!)

So when years later I opened up my stamp business imagine my excitement when she became a retailer of ours! She carries our mini retro grout stamp in her wonderful online shop (http://www.smoozewithsuze.com/). Our stamp was featured in her latest DVD on Melt Art and now its featured in one of her several you tube video tutorials!

Suze has posted a whole bunch of cool informative videos on you tube that you really have to see! So check it out:

How to do the Cloisonne technique (pronounced Cloy-zen-a)

Thank you for sharing your videos with us Suze, and thank you for everything you have done to further the rubber Stamp hobby from a simple craft to true ART!
