Karen
Wallace

Hello to all my scenic stamping friends!  Nancy here to tell you about the fun I am having this week in Savanna, Illinois.  I was invited by Karen Wallace from Stampscapes II Yahoo group to attend her annual scenic stamping get together in her home town of Savanna.  


There are about 20 of us meeting in the Methodist church building stamping our hearts out.  Everyone is sharing techniques and tips that I will be sharing with you over the course of the week. So far I have made four scenes and learned how to use a brayer!!

Trish is a fellow
Canadian stamper

Karen has loads and loads of stamps from Stampscapes, Sutter, Beeswax, Art Impressions, etc, that she is sharing with us all.  There will be door prizes from Sutter and others.  We even have a stamping store rep from Peddlers Den with a few supplies to purchase.


Besides being able to meet all the wonderful ladies whose work I have so admired over the last year or more, I will also be able to meet - in person - Kevin Nakagawa, Mr. Stampscapes himself!!!  This is just too much for me to handle!!

Mirjam came all the way from the Netherlands!

So this post has just been a teaser 'cause I wanted to tell you what was happening and introduce the pictures of some of the ladies at this stamping gig.  


Tomorrow I will be back to show you some of the work and share a few tips.

Scenic Stamps

My post today is to tell you a little bit about stamping companies that make scenic stamps. When I was first introduced to scenic stamping there were only a few stamps from A Stamp In The Hand (designed by Kevin).  Then my mom and I found Art Impressions. We fell in love with their sectional seascape pieces and their "front n back" stamps.  Kevin started his Stampscapes company in the early 90's and really made the scenic stamping art what it is today.


Since then, many more companies have designed a line of scenic stamps for us to enjoy.  The design team has suggested a number of companies that I placed on a new tab at the top of the blog called "Scenic Stamps".  In there you will find a link to their stamping store, their logo and a little bit about what they offer.  I will continue to add companies as I find them.  If you know of any, please email me and I will happily add them to the list for all of us to enjoy.


I couldn't help checking out all those companies that were new to me and of course I had to buy some new stamps.  Here is a card that I made this week using my new stamps from Beeswax and Sutter Stamps.

Hop over to Crafting Passions to find our how I made this card and what stamps I used.

There is still time to enter our challenge this month.  You may link up your card or project by 6:00 PM Friday, Pacific Time.  The winner and top 3 will be announced with our post on Sunday, Jan 29th.

Thanks for stopping by.  Don't forget to check out all the great stamp companies in the new tab - Scenic Stamps.
