READY, SET....CATCH!!!

The new flames have arrived!

Catching the torch from Cammi Boddie @ http://cuttin-up.blogspot.com/

This enthusiastic, gospel loving educator hales from the theme park capital of the world, Orlando Florida. Three precious little Yorkie's (Berenger, Benjamin and Solomon) know her as Mom and a Cricut enabling DH knows her as Adorable Adrian. A pretty, new  stamper and blogger, our purple torchbearer has already accumulated a following of over 300 and we know why. She is creative, fun, confident and giving. Sounds like a natural born stamper to us! Our crystal ball predicts that a 400 following is right around the river's bend. Follow with us @ http://byadrian4u.blogspot.com/.

One added bonus to the world of stamping and scrapping is that it bypasses all language barriers. Once we see a beautiful card, we all speak the same language. Although our next torchbearer’s blog is written in Finnish, we think that you’ll quickly be able to translate, even w/o google programming. Pammu aka Paula has a sense of humor that is universal. When asked who she lives with and if she has pets, she said it is just her and the dust bunnies! Now if that isn’t without borders, we don’t know what is!

Paula works with children and that kind of fun and enthusiasm shows in her work. She has a defining fresh and unique style that we are excited to share with you. Please hang out with Paula and the dust bunnies @ http://pammun.blogspot.com/

This month’s blue torchbearer is a classic beauty from the Boston area of the UsofA.  She  travels, volunteers, organizes fun/run benefits AND can put her legs behind her head effortlessly.  She drinks milk straight up, loves spaghetti but not olives and goes to summer camp w/o getting dirty.  Suzanne is so friendly and welcoming that we think it is fortunate indeed that she has a tall and handsome husband and a scruffy Teddy to  stand guard at her very own http://thecardyard.blogspot.com/ .

A visit to Create-With-Joy is like being invited to share an afternoon with your favorite Aunt. The chocolate chip muffins are served on the good china , the HI FI is turned to the smooth stuff, secret treasures are shared and if you are lucky enough to visit on a Wednesday, you'll get to speak in whispers while you're allowed to take a peek at the Paper Princess' workdesk. No matter what day you visit, there is always something exciting going on. The main events Maine Coons, Tsunami and Legend will make sure of that! Don't forget to read between the lines - because sometimes those rascals will even do the old switch-er-roo and take over the blog! What is a Paper Princess without a dreamy Prince Charming who builds stuff? You'll want to read all about it @ http://www.create-with-joy.com/

Mel stamps.  Mel grows food. Mel makes really awesome stuff and Mel even shows you how.  Mel McCarthy’s creative drive and ingenuity started as a young lass in BC Canada, when she began selling her artwork door to door at the age of 5.  She hasn’t stopped since.  A true creative, she sometimes identifies with  Mouse, her cat (whom you can sometimes find head first in a paper bag) as she curls up for a nap, reads classic literature or chases critters out of the community garden.  Their sweet Prince Charles must be frequently amused.  And what is Mel doing this month?  She is carrying an orange torch! And what will we do?  Why pinch ourselves of course.   Feel the fire @ http://melstampz.blogspot.com/
