ivyPINK Stamps

Hello friends :)

I've been busy creating & today I finally get to share

I created a VERY small run of stamps

with my art work and hand writing mostly for my personal use,

I did however create some extras to add in the ivyPINK shop

I will be sharing a couple stamps each day

this whole week so keep an eye out for it :)

All the stamps are wood mounted on a "vintage" looking stamp handle

Each handle is hand painted (by me) with a dark PINK top & light PINK bottom.

The first stamp I want to share was inspired by ABBEY!

Hedgehog Stamp

I also created a cute matching sentiment

BUT it can be used on its own as well

Hug Me stamp

Here's a little card inspiration for you :)

Supply List:

Stamps: ivyPINK

Cardstock: Bazzill & Paper Source

Pattern Paper & Cloud: Echo Park

Flowers: Doodle Bug

Heart Bling: Amuse

Pink Bling: Hero Arts

Ink: VersaFine Black & Versa Mark

 

Let me know what you think of the stamps :)

See you guys tomorrow!

Philippines 2012

As promised I'm finally able to upload!

Here's some of my favorite pictures from my trip to the Philippines

I've gone snorkeling to a lot of places but none of them compare

to my snorkeling experience in Puerto Princesa, Palawan

the fishies are so use to humans they just surround you

The locals are not allowed to catch fish in that area to keep the fishes producing

There's literally hundreds of fishes that surround you when you feed them

it's really quite amazing.

Next we took an under ground river tour

The picture above is the opening to the cave.

The underground river is one of the newest addition to the 7 wonders of nature

It is also reputed to be the world's longest underground river,

 It features a limestone karst mountain landscape with an 8.2 km

navigatable river. Although, on our tour we only went about a mile in.

I also went to a crocodile farm here I am holding a baby 3 month old croc

I was a lot more scared than I look :)

We had to take one of these boats to get to an Island

We had a cook out at the island & I ate lots of these

and of course another one of my favorite parts

was my zip lining adventure :)

I wish I also went cave diving BUT I didn't have enough time

maybe next time!

 

That's all for my Philippine adventure :)

Happy Friday!

Mani Monday: B&W

Hi! ;) Last weekend was my youngest
cousin Abigail's Senior Prom,
I did her hair,makeup & nails!
Her dress was black so we decided to do a funky design ;) The bling on the bow is actually fr one of my HeroArts bling stickers ;)
All the designs are fr Konad

I don't have a pic with her dress on yet but here's her hair & makeup ;)

I didn't forget I still have to put pics up fr vaca but I honestly can only upload pics fr my phone I have no idea what's going on w/ my typepad & that's also the reason for the limited posts! I've contacted cust service but the response I got did not fix my problem so I'm still working on it.

Anywayz......Happy Monday!
