Hi everyone
My name is Suzy and I live in Halifax Canada. I have been stamping about 1 year and just started my own blog (blog.papermonkey.org)

Fantastic idea Barb! And I love the colors of your forum! I am a big fan of both Barb and Embellish-It and am so glad to be here.

Suzy, we are so glad to have you here! I love your blog, very well done! Thanks for the heads up on the new Lancome shade of lipstick! Love the cards you have on your blog too. You are very creative! I don't have any of the my favorite things stamps yet, but I've sure seen some cute cards made with them!

Hi Ladies! My name is Ana and I have been stamping for 2+years. I love everything about paper crafting and once I was introduced to online stamping forums and blogs it has taken on a whole different meaning. I have met wonderful friends and learned so much through them. I started my own blog about a year ago and I love being able to share my creations with anyone who is interested. Here is the link if you want to take a peak...www.inkastamp.blogspot.com

Hi Ana!

I am soooo familiar with your blog - I just love it! You have an amazing eye and a very unique sense of style that is both fun and elegant at the same time. How do you do that girl?!

hugs

Hello, everyone! I am new here as well. My name is Kelly, and I have been stampin' and creating papercrafts consistently for the past 1 1/2 years. I dabbled in Stampin' Up products about 3 years ago, but just got really serious this past year or so. I am totally addicted. It is my release from the hustle and bustle of *life* I guess. :)

I recently started my blog back in August and just today reached 1000 hits! I am pretty excited about it, so I am giving away some blog candy. Check it out even if you haven't been there before. http://wishiniwasstampin.blogspot.com

Hi wishiniwasstampin, Welcome! So glad you joined us! Can't wait to see your creations! Nice blog too. Okay I'm "out of it" what is blog candy?

[julie]

Hi Kelly~ Welcome!! Glad you're here.

I hope to get a chance to check out all your blogs tomorrow when I don't have to work!!

[Barb]

Kelly your blog is awesome! Hope you post some of your gorgeous cards in our gallery!

Hi wishiniwasstampin, Welcome! So glad you joined us! Can't wait to see your creations! Nice blog too. Okay I'm "out of it" what is blog candy?

My definition (not official) would be something "sweet" a blogger gives away on his/her blog. It can be anything that is of interest to that person or his/her viewers I guess. I have seen anything from Mary Kay products, stamped images, stickers, inks, glitter mist, or stamp sets themselves.

Hope to get some time to load some images in the gallery tomorrow. I am swamped with work today! :) Ttyl, gals.

[Barb]

Thanks for the definition! I feel a little silly that I didn't know what it was, lol!

Hi wishiniwasstampin, Welcome! So glad you joined us! Can't wait to see your creations! Nice blog too. Okay I'm "out of it" what is blog candy?

Hmm, now I have a question . . . I tried to upload some photos . . . actually started out by making a personal album, then clicked on upload photos, and it says 'You do not have permission to upload' (not an actual quote but something similar to this). Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to be okayed by Barb or someone to actually put work in the gallery? I sent her an email with some attachments to be considered for the design team--thus here I am, but I haven't heard anything back. I just assumed since she told me to check out the forums and gallery . . . well, anyway, I am rambling. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.

[Barb]

Now that is strange that you can't upload to the gallery. Try uploading to cards then it should automatically go to your members gallery. I will check on why you can't upload to members gallery when I get home from work. I didn't get your email other that the design team call. Let me know if you can't post to the gallery in the card or scrapbook area. Sorry! :(

[wishiniwasstampin]

LOL . . . nope, still feel stupid. :lol: I can view the gallery, and it says Welcome Wishiniwasstampin, on the right hand side at the top--so I am logged in, but there is no "upload" button to upload any cards. I can go to my gallery, my albums, etc, but I don't see a link to upload anything. Ah well, if you can check when you get home. I just wanted to show a few things on line. There is a lot of talent here, and I am not sure I really measure up, but I will try ;)

[Barb]

Kelly, try it now. I had to alter a setting. Let me know if it doesn't work!

[Barb]

Of course you measure up! What are you talking about! Silly girl!

[wishiniwasstampin]

It's there now! :) Thanks.

[Barb]

Yipee!!! Sorry for the mess up! Can't wait to see your creations!

[wishiniwasstampin]

Well, we are going to have to wait a while longer. It gets stuck at the "processing" phase. Says redirecting . . . null at hte bottom near the tool bar and then error on page--not sure why. Maybe I should put it in my blog and then bring it in from the URL instead---Oh boy! Sorry :(

[Barb]

No problem. I need to get it worked out so I'll get back to you later!

[Barb]

Hopefully all is okay now. Let me know if it isn't!

[EMGcrafter]

Hello. I've been card making and stamping for about 6 months. Look forward to learning and sharing with you all.

[Barb]

Wow! So glad you came over! We're going to have a design team soon, so I know we'll all learn something new!

[Suzy]

Hi EMGCrafter - welcome aboard!
