Revised July 2nd Stamps for Sale

**The New stuff is mixed in with the other stuff I posted in June, but I did reorganize it so hopefully it is easier to look at.**
I've been cleaning out my craft room and cabinet and decided it's time to make room for more stamps. I hope you have some spare change because this is a super sale! Everything is marked 50% below catalog prices so they will move fast. I will have another installment after July 1st. But don't wait until then.

I will take cash of course, checks from those I know, and Paypal too. Just email me at ericalynbass(at)gmail(dot)com if you are interested in any of the items.

As for shipping I will ship everything together assuming you buy more than one item and charge for the lowest cost to ship that item. All items will be shipped First Class unless Flat rate Priority mail is cheaper.

If something in marked U it means it is unmounted.

I am going to rearrange everything by price.

Taking a break from the stamp sale

I love this line of papers from Colorbök called Friendly Forrest. Of course I bought everything before it was clearanced but I just love the images. So here is a page that I thought went really well with the theme of the picture. It was taken at a children's museum in Bettendorf IA while visiting with my in laws. Poppy really liked the projected pond that you could hop on lilly pads that actually moved. The title was made with the Cricut Sans Serif Solutions cartridge.

Birthday Page

I have to apologize for the strange angles on my pages. I took the pictures of these pages in a stack and some of the edges bent a little during the process. Oh well, you get the idea right?

We were on the road for Poppy's birthday this year. She got to blow out candles twice but I only have pictures of this one time. I think this is the quickest I've ever gotten a birthday done for the scrapbook. My favorite element on this page is the tag with party printed on it. I love the huge grommet. I actually bought the tags on clearance at Target. They are party invitations. I just thought I could use them for something. I filled out the invitation for my journaling and it pulls out from behind the picture.

Another note - I don't usually like cutting out pictures free hand like I did with the cake but the rest of the picture was just unnecessary and in the way.

On my way out

As I head out for a weekend excursion I thought it would be appropriate to post something from our last trip. The kids told me that we can't call this trip a "road trip" because we are only driving for 4 hours. They said in order for it to be a "road trip" it has to be far away like Connecticut. So here is a two page layout from Connecticut. We went to a beach in Stamford Ct which is a town near where my sister Alyssa lives. Her town doesn't have any beachfront so I thought it would be cool for the kids to check it out while we were on the east coast. It was about 50 degrees but it was sunny.

These pages are a little experimental. I used one of the masks from Tim Holtz and I think for one thing this design is a little too detailed to use the negative image as the mask. At least for me. I used a glimmer mist with the mask. Then I thought why not mirror the title with the leftover cut out and spray it on the other side. Looking back I might start wondering what the heck was I thinking? I also stamped some birds with a new VersaMark stamp pad that has shimmer in it but it didn't show up as well as I hoped. In future I might stamp the bird with a matching ink color and then use a stamp a ma jig to stamp the sheen over it.

Sisters

I knew I needed a picture of me and my sister Alyssa in my scrapbook Sometimes we focus on getting our children's events done and none of the things that are very personal to ourselves. I love my sister(s). Alyssa and I are very close in age. My poor mom had us 18 months apart. We were playmates all growing up, frenemies at times when we were teens (mostly friends) and best friends as grown ups. I love going to visit her in all the different places she's lived. Unfortunately when she lived in Switzerland I couldn't afford that ticket. This particular picture is us in Central Park.
