Congrats to you, Darlene!  Please e-mail me your address so that I can get your notebook in the mail to you!

Now onto yet another exciting new release from Memory Box!  This week we have the release of {10} new Crystal Clear stamp sets!  Yes, 10, and they are all so yummy!  You can see them here.  Today, I decided to play with the Dress Form clear set {CL138}.  Oh my goodness, I am probably going to use this set a LOT!  Y'all will want to get your hands on this set quick because I bet it will sell fast!  Here is how I made my card with this set.

First, I stamped the dress form in Memento tuxedo black ink.  Then I used two of the flowers from the set and stamped flowers on the dress form in different colored inks.

Can you see all of the amazing stamps in this set?  Oooh, just love it!  Next, I used my Copics to color the top half of the dress form and shade around the edges.

After coloring, I assembled my card and added Memory Box pearls and jewels to the dress form.  Here is how it turned out.
 
 
Papers:  Memory Box Co. sugar plum paper, Memory Box cherry blossom biscotti, Memory Box cherry blossom card 22005, Paper Trey Ink (white cs)
Tools:  A Muse stamp positioner, Martha Stewart border punch, Nestabilities label die
Copic: R81, R83, C0, C1
Stamps:  Memory Box Co. Dress Form Clear Set CL138, Thanks Script A833
Stamp Ink:  Memento tuxedo black, Memento rhubarb stalk, Memento angel pink
Embellishments: Memory Box pearl stickers baby pink, Memory Box jewels sparkling diamond, misc. ribbon

So, between the new Sparkly Bird Bonanza stamps and the Crystal Clear sets, I have plenty to keep myself busy and having fun. I hope that you have a chance to pick up some of these new releases. I know you will love them!  Enjoy, and thank you SO much for stopping by. I truly appreciate you!

Just on chance you would not happen to have one set of the clear stamp dress set do you?

I was informed that you no longer make the clear dress (hoop type dress) set...yet it was obviously very poopular as there are many samples with it, and I agree with them that it was a great set!!

Thanks for your time and consideration, Jeanne
