"Hi, it's me...Jen del Muro of
www.iheart2stamp.com
As the name of my blog suggests,
I LoVe to stamp!
I have always loved paper projects and
in 2004, I was introduced to stamping
and it's been non-stop ever since.
Can you relate?  : )

I have served on a variety of design teams
including Verve, The Cat's Pajamas,
Taylored Expressions, Stamping Bella
and Splitcoast's Dirty Dozen.
Many of my cards have been published
in paper crafting magazines and I also
collaborated on a book for Design Originals
featuring alcohol markers (Copic).

My  favorite thing about stamping is the wonderful
people you meet along the way.  It's amazing how
a little rubber (or photo-polymer), ink and
paper can bring people together.
Thank you to The Play Date Cafe for having
me play along!  I don't know that I would have chosen
these colors on their own, but they are
truly delightful together!"

"How stunning is that wedding cake?!
It was made for a friend of mine,
by another friend who had never really
made a cake like this before!

I spend a lot of time thinking about
colour, looking out for great combinations
and taking notice of the colours other people
use in their artwork.
Peach is NOT one of my colours!
I think it looks pretty on this cake, but I would
never in a million years use it in my artwork.
However, being the kind of girl I am and being
on a 'colour challenge' design team, it was
time to REALLY challenge myself this week."

Your host for this week's challenge is

Stephanie Kraft

Let's see where she creates.....

My creative space is a spare bedroom in our house.
I spend a lot of time in it, so it is important that it

be organized.  I am constantly reorganizing as I

acquire new supplies.

I am far from a 'neat-freak', but I find that I am

most productive when my workspace isn't messy,

so I always clean up before I get started on a new

project.  Besides, if I didn't, I'd only have a tiny

corner of my table to work on!  : )

I am sharing a video of my studio over

on my blog, so I hope you'll stop by!"
