Introducting My NEW Stamp Line!!!

Hi everyone, I have designed a line of clear stamps!!!!  I am so excited to let you all know about them.
They are made in the U.S.A. and stamp soooo nice and clear!
I have had such a hard time finding just the right stamps for my cards.  So I decided to design them just the way I want them.  Some of the sets have a Christian reference which is totally hard to find along with sentiments for the INSIDE of a card!
So here they are!!!  These are the first four sets, check out the website for all 8 that are available for pre-order.

Check out my website:  www.ajillianvancedesign.com/products.html 

I have them on pre-order right now and are expecting them Mid February 2011!!!

 Birthday Blessings

 Charming Whimsies

 Prayerful Thoughts

Tender Thoughts

Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think about my new stamps!!!

Throwback Thursday Challenge: Viewer's Choice

Hey everybody! I am going to enjoy a great day of crafting and I will have a few posts up today, and I am uploading a video now. I decided to enter Emma at My Creative Time's Throwback Thursday Challenge. This week, the challenge was to use any OLDER Cartridge, but to use a heart. Well, I used the Cartridge Sweethearts, it's the PERFECT cartridge to use, right? Here is the full recipe.
Recipe:
Sweethearts Cricut Cartridge, Swirly Heart cut at 4" with black and white paper
Red Cardstock for background
Heart Sizzix folder for background
Sentiment printed from the computer, "My Heart Belongs to You"
Studio G Black Ink for inking the sides of the sentiment
2 red heart brads

Ashley's Birthday Blog Hop: "Just Hopping By To Say Happy Birthday"

Hey guys! Its finally here! Ashley's Birthday Blog Hop! If you are just visiting, feel free to start at the beginning, at http://myscrappinpalace.blogspot.com/. Happy Birthday Ashley, Happy Birthday to my Dad too! Here is my project! I used the frog on Create a Critter, and created my own sentiment, "Just Hopping By To Say Happy Birthday" I love this sentiment and also thought a frog and that sentiment would work since it is a blog hop! Here is the recipe.
Frog from Create a Critter cut at 3 1/2"
Purple Cardstock for background
Digital sentiment I made on my computer "Just Hopping By To Say Happy Birthday"

My Pink Stamper Design Team Challenge!!!! ~2011

Hi everybody! Robyn, The Pink Stamper, is having a Design Team Call for 2011, and has 2 spots open. I have wanted to be in Robyn's Design Team for a while, she is awesome! I love her videos, and her stamps are so cute! The Challenge was to make something using your favorite Cartridge, and Robyn's favorite Colors, Pink, Green, and Brown! You could also use an optional color of your choice. I made this Valentine Card using:
Elephant on Create A Critter cut at 3"
Fuschia Cardstock cut into a small card
Lime Green Background
Large Swiss Dot Cuttlebug Folder
"I Love You A Ton" Printed out on the same color Cardstock as your card
Brown Cardstock Strip
Happy Valentine's Day Stamp from Michaels
Basic Black Stampin Up! Ink.
                                                    Here is how I made the card.
1. I cut the Elephant from Create a Critter at 3"
2. I cut and Cuttlebugged a lime green piece of Cardstock
3. I cut Fushia Cardstock and folded it into a small card
4. I cut a small strip of brown Cardstock
5. I went and printed out my saying, "I Love You A Ton" from my computer onto the same color Cardstock as my card.
6. I put it all together
7. Then I stamped the inside with "Happy Valentine's Day!" A stamp I got in a set at Michaels

Please leave comments you guys! It means a lot to me, and I love it when you all do!
