Renee Zarate's Bolton House is still in New England but Renee herself has moved on to South Carolina. The days are a little different now, no garden to take care of means more studio time. Dealing with snow and blizzards will be a thing of the past but there will be new challenges. Challenges like...how will we ever carry these two chairs and this huge umbrella down to the beach? Stay tuned.

SDC: Altered Items, Stampotique Stamps Only
Ah, it is challenge time again at Stampotique. It is always a challenge for me to use just one stamp line so I appreciate the opportunity to stretch my creative muscles. I have quite a few blank chunky ATC blocks so I will be altering a 3 1/2" x 2 1/2" block of wood. I used the little girl image called "Marcie". This is a mood block. It is always easy to see what the owner's mood is that day. Happy Day Marcie is on the front, Bad Day phrase is on the back. You can easily give "Fair Warning" by just turning your sweet looking block to show your mood for the day. : ) The side panels proclaim her normal sweet nature. The feet are made from miniature wooden thread spools spritzed with Pink Cadillac Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels, the paper is a new release called "Kissing Booth" from Basic Grey. On top is a "crystal knob" (translated plastic) and the pearls are from Queen & Co. Just tie some matching ribbons on the top and we have a modern day Mood Ring!
