today's inspiration wednesday was inspired by a punch and a bird. but when i tell you this was a long creative journey today, i am not kidding. took me the better part of 4 hours trying to figure out what to do with the ugly mess i created. i am really glad i stuck with it.
watch as i turn a bucket full of sour lemons into a carafe of sweet lemonade.

Hi Everyone, Have I got a treat for you! What could it be? Could it be Stampavie Stamps?
I recently came across this company on the internet and was drawn to their fun-loving images. Stampavie? How do you pronounce that? Just like it looks- Stamp-a-vee. But what does it mean? Stampavie is the marriage between the English word stamp and the French "a vie" which means "for life" or "forever". So Stampavie means "stamp for life". I love it, it speaks to my creative soul! And their images will help your creations have life!
Stampavie has many artists and styles, which means there is something for everyone! In fact, I dare you to fall in love with just one. You will adore Tina Wenke's animal images. Her critters give you that warm, whimsical, fuzzy feeling. Who doesn't love a mouse carrying a birthday cake? Critters celebrating with a cupcake? Or a Kitty-trick-or-treating?
Are you more into the Antique/Vintage feel? Then you will love Sarah Kay. Her designs are of nostalgic, childhood memories set in stamps. Amazing that so much detail can be perfectly impressed in a stamp! Anyone can be an artist with these stamps - serious drama in a small stamp. Don't they just make you feel good inside?
And to help you get ready for Christmas, they have so many wonderful images that bring that Ho Ho spirit to any holiday project! Just look at these Design Teams projects from Penny Johnson, Laurence Collections and Gilliam Roberts, which are featured in their catalog.
So, are you loving Stampavie yet? You can follow them on twitter or check out even more great designs on their blog.
Now wouldn't you love to own some of these wonderful stamps for yourself? How does a chance to win a set of 10 stamps sound to you? Yes! Stampavie has put together a prize package of 10 of their wonderful stamps to go to one lucky blog reader!
Just leave your comment today and you will be entered to win this Prize Package!
