My first purchase was a few stamps and embossing powder to make Christmas tags. I used a metal pan over my stove element to heat the powder - a fire hazard I'm sure.<br />I love your blog and want to thank you for sharing your wonderful creations with us loyal blog readers!JoanneRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04243379255732330190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164750377908927196.post-17331990364580876022010-01-26T22:00:38.486-06:002010-01-26T22:00:38.486-06:00Pam - Congrats on 3 years of blogging!

I then started scrapbooking about 4 years after that. I am so behind in the books, but continue to work on them. My goal was always to have them caught up for graduation -- my son graduates in June and I only have him through 2002...HELP! I do not have a blog; work too many jobs and kids' activities to do that, but really enjoy looking at everyone's and getting great ideas.

I started stamping when I was really young when my mom bought me my first clear butterfly stamp. That was probably over 20 years ago and I always wondered why they never made clear stamps anymore until I started getting back into stamping (couple months ago). Now clear stamps are the big thing. I still have the stamp although it has turned yellow and is starting to fall off the acrylic block (it was originally glued onto the block) but it still works perfectly!! <br />Not really a cardmaking memory but sort of close lol. Thanks for doing this giveaway and I look forward to seeing your creations!gocanucksgohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756998129043653615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164750377908927196.post-70107716338152827502010-01-25T22:37:03.429-06:002010-01-25T22:37:03.429-06:00I love the Dori story and remember when you origin...I love the Dori story and remember when you originally posted it!

I had to laugh because you are having an anniversary and I finally just started (literally just yesterday) a blog. I haven't gotten very far but want to start participating in some challenges so decided it was time. Now I just have to jazz it up and get some entries added. It's a little sad at the moment. Here's a link http://www.paperglitterstamps.blogspot.com<br />Maybe one of these days we can get together again. We get up there every once in a while. I'll let you know if I am headed that way and maybe we can have lunch.<br /><br />Take care and great blog!!Carrie's Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10496611676632519074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164750377908927196.post-88701987941567585332010-01-25T21:52:53.288-06:002010-01-25T21:52:53.288-06:00Congratulations Pam on coming up with such wonderf...Congratulations Pam on coming up with such wonderful creative inspiration for three years! I've been blogging for about two years and I've been down several different trails with it. I've learned so much, and met wonderful kindred spirits. My favorite card I made was the birth announcements for our first granddaughter. We have a new one on the way in early fall, so I have to come up with something wonderful by then!

I currently don't have a blog because of I already don't have enough hours in my day but I love reading others (I too, learn sooooo much from you all!) Debbie Fisher was a Stampin Up! Demonstrator many moons ago and she was the one who got me started with stamps and cards. She had a card club where she had a theme for each month and we would make several of the same card and exchange with the group. Well, I still have some of those cards I made and they were so simple and so plain! I hope I have gotten better :)Gail S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02305414433504678315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164750377908927196.post-51808244144101145082010-01-25T19:15:06.783-06:002010-01-25T19:15:06.783-06:00I think I started blogging in spring of 2007 too.....I think I started blogging in spring of 2007 too... now I'm curious! Ok.. just looked and it was July of 2007. :) I've been stamping for probably around 6 years? I can't remember... Time flies you know! I remember attending a SU party and buying a stamp set and a black ink pad. When I got them I didn't have a clue .. I didn't even think about paper, colors, etc. It took me a few parties before I had enough supplies. I wish I had picture of some of my first cards! I'm sure I would die laughing now. I too have learned alot from reading others blogs.CreativeMishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08495435753079613785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164750377908927196.post-85738689532241169592010-01-25T19:05:45.412-06:002010-01-25T19:05:45.412-06:00Wow 3 years, that is wonderful.

I'm now learning to incorporate stamps into my scrapbook layouts and I love to do this. I started making cards about 6 months ago and when I get started, I go a little crazy. It's a great scrapbooking fix for me. If I had a hobby room, I would do more. Right now it's my DR table and it gets a little cluttered when I'm in the middle of a project. I love your blog.

LOL!<br /><br />It's fun to see where we've been and how far we've come. Ü<br /><br />My story: My g'ma had breast cancer and was a VERY creative lady. Not being able to do much of anything she became discouraged and I had just learned rubber stamping. She couldn't stamp as she didn't have much strength in her right arm due to the masectomy, but she could color. So I stamped and stamped and stamped and she colored. Doing that simple thing brought life back to her (literally) and she also gained strength that she might not have otherwise. It was so much fun to create together. She is gone now, but the memories will last forever.Debbie Fisher (debbiedee)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01504216412594013717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164750377908927196.post-26198084886536582342010-01-25T10:04:32.484-06:002010-01-25T10:04:32.484-06:00Congrats on your three years.
