I received my monthly subscriptions from Brutus Monroe over the last few days! I had to finish up organizing one of my drawers of stamps. I am cataloging each set in AIRTABLE. That is a story for a separate post. Today i want to share some images of the card i made with a few product from Brutus Monroe, Simon Says Stamps, Maymay made it, and copic. This is Brutus Monroe glitter paste on bristol card stock This is the same product on mixed media kraft paper  I pick up at Micheal’s I actually bought it for practicing my drawing. A virtual class i am taking with Sandy Allnock. This example is the two different bases, but the same colors of Glitter glaze.

Kits, subscriptions, one offs...my experiences with some..of these boxes filled with crafty goodies

I wait impatiently for my monthly subscriptions to come in the mail..It is like a special gift just for me doing my daily routines and responsiblies.  I currently get HERO ARTS, MAYMAY, & BRUTUS MONRO each are very different subscriptions but all crafting items. Hero Arts is a complete kit it typically has Stamps/dies, paper, ink(sometimes) and sometimes something special, the price is great for what we get..i think 34.99 shipped. Maymay i get just the regular monthly 4x6 stamp set, for 11.99 which is a savings of a dollar if you were just purchasing it from the store. That price includes shipping cost.  Maymay has a scripture stamp subscription as well. I just choose to not order that one. Brutus Monroe i have 4 items i subscribe to embossing powder, glitter glaze, stencil, and aqua pigment these are all monthly products.. all 4 items cost 34.00. They have other subscription products but these are the products i choose to order. Maymay and Brutus Monroe both have ...

Last night while watching one of my favorite you tube card artist.. https://acarddayswork.wordpress.com/   her name is Jess...her you tube channel is A Card’s Day Work.. while watching she said she was going to do a challenge and I suggested i would do it with her.  After everyone chimed in we decided to do a double challenge over at My Favorite Things Stamps...they have a few challenges...we chose to combine the color challenge and the sketch challenge. I have a half hour to get it in. I will have to come back and edit my post here but for now here is a photo. Ok now that i have shared the photo i can post the appropriate links if you are interested in the primary products I have use.  I am just going to post for the stamps and the embossing powder and a link for the contests in case you are interested.   The contest is not base on the quality of your work.  It is a random drawing. Here is the link for the Challenges on the MFT Stamps site.   htt...
