3 cheers for art...

that's the name of the new stamp set I chose for today's giveaway...
also in the prize package is...

THE GUYS 
art parts package,
 which coordinates with the 
3 cheers for art stamp set...

one random winner will receive these...


I LOVE Mr Higgins...
he's a 2 part art parts guy...
with a coordinating stamp...

the saying is stamped on one of my new art parts
SENTIMENT SPOTS...

for a fun twist,
as corners of my art parts base...
and not as box corners as they were intended...
I think they work especially well on guy projects...
kind of industrial looking...

I used Multi Medium to glue them on...

I'm lovin' my new Blossom Bucket stars knobs...
and the new ART PARTS star...

I used them as accents here...


here's an art journal page...
lots of embossing & coloring in with

I used some of my new stencils
I traced the hearts, using my new heart stencil...


I LOVE this page...
it's very simple for me...
and it's a shock that I didn't ink or stamp every 1/8th of an inch...
like I usually do...

LOVE the saying...


I have 2 winners 
to announce today...

CONGRATS to...
