Hey y’all!
I’m so, so excited to be sharing the news with you all today…
Ms. Claire, owner of one of my most favorite stamp companies ever, Waltzingmouse Stamps, has invited me to be a part of her uber talented Design Team!
Claire’s designs are one of a kind, and I just love the flair that they add to my projects…
And this month is of *no* exception! I’m ga-ga for the stamps in this release, and I’m sure you will be, too!
There are *5 new sets* being released… and they will all be hot & ready for your sweet hands on March 1st…
Hopefully you can “hold yer horses” ’til then… lol! (I know… cheesey.)
So, without too much more rambling, let’s get to the sneaky-peek! *wink!*
The sets that we are showcasing today are called, Way Out West and Back in the Saddle.
I have to admit that when I first saw these western-themed stamps, I was stumped!
They’re *so* much fun to look at… they bring me back to when I would stay up all night with my cousins in Germany watching old Westerns (apparently they thought all Americans loved Westerns, lol!)
Lots of nostalgia in this set, but how could I translate it to paper & ink?…
After lots of staring…. I finally just pulled out my ink and card stock and began stamping….
I stamped without any clear vision as to what my final product would look like.
Just let the stamps do the talking… and boy did they holler!
I just love how all of the fun sentiments in this set came together.
And once I was finished with the card, I whipped out this cute (and free!) template for the Octagon Basket.
I focused on stamped the pretty borders in Way Out West for this part of the project…
How fun is that?!
I have to say, without sounding too stalker-ish, that this set totally reminds me of The Pioneer Woman… lol!
Is it just me???
I love “watching” Ree cook, and drooling over her gorgeous photography contests… but more than anything I love to just read what she has to share about her “ranch life.”
And this stamp (above) in particular is definitely a shout-out to Ree’s hubby (a tried and true cowboy, lol!).
Love those rustic stars… Love ‘em to pieces.
And how scrumptious are those goodies in my octagon basket? I got those from my dear friend, Carly’s shop. I’ll be featuring some of her product next week, so keep your eyes peeled!
Well, I’m done talking your head off (for now)…
So… You really, really wanna go check out what the rest of the design team has done with these stamps…
Really.
*wink*

I wondered how you’d adapt these stamps to your shabby chic style, and you did not disappoint. You are BRILLIANT! I wish I could think in the right-brained dimension.
