For those of you who don't have time to go back to that, I will just tell you that Clarity stamps agreed to make my favourite rose bud painting, created by my daughter, into a proper Clarity stamp, with all the quality we expect from that company. They really did the artwork justice, and kept all the detail.
It is a joy to use, so light and easy to position, and I am having a wonderful time playing around with it, putting into practice all the ideas that I have had for it. You may see the image coming up on Shaz Silverwolf's blog at some time, as well as here. We had three copies of the stamp cut, one for me, one for daughter and one for Shaz, who is her mother-in-law.
I have managed to finish all the cards for this month that I need, so I now have to have a look at April. there are one or two there right at the start of the month, right where they catch me out and panic sets in. One of my resolutions this year is to look ahead and try to avoid the panics. How long will this last, I wonder.
I will leave you now to go on round the other blogs on show over at Julia Mansion. I just hope that Mr Blogger and Mr Linky decide to play properly for her this week. have a good week, all of you, and enjoy the signs of Spring all around us.

That is a gorgeous stamp. I like the way you colored it. I'm having a terrible time leaving comments. They don't want to post. Hope this goes through. Happy WOYWW from # 7.
Hi Maggie,
You must be very proud of your daughter! To have a piece of her work made into a stamp -- that's wonderful. It looks lovely.
I'm impressed that you are ahead in your card making. I need to make a 50th birthday card for a friend (male). I'm not so good at male cards. Wish me luck!
Hugs,
Kay

Love the stamp. They did a wonderful job. You should be proud. #18
How amazing that they made that beautiful image in to a stamp for you, your daughter should definitely license it to them for mass production and then work on doing more, she obviously inherited your talent.

How fabulous to have your own (or your daughter's) design made up - and what a beauty it is!! Have a great day.

What a great idea! And hasn't the painting transferred well to being a stamp!! I know for sure that you're going to use that A LOT!!
Hugs, LLJ ~68 xx
I did read the story about your Rosie stamp and what a wonderful thing to do ... I bet you are just over-the-moon with it and what a super thing to do! What a pity it is not on sale though because I am sure it would sell lots!
I am often caught out by early-in-the-month birthdays and even when I think ahead I then forget to post them in time ... am always SO cross with myself! Must develop a new system me thinks. Happy WOYWWing! Love Debbie #86 xXx
Your daughter painted a beautiful rose and fantastic to have it made into a stamp.

What a beautiful stamp, and how lovely that it was designed by your daughter!! That's a real thrill.
Thanks for your comment on my blog. We've got loads of boxes that various pieces of equipment came in, and we're keeping those for when we eventually have to move. With their polystyrene blocks inside they do protect things better. It's all the other boxes that I've kept in case they came in useful that I've decided to get rid of!! Still loads of sorting to do, but no more energy at the moment.
Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #14
Don't ask me how but I missed this post first time round. How beautiful are these cards you must be so proud.

Sorry I am late in replying to your visit to my blog ... the little birdies turned out to be BLUE and the whole project has taken far longer than I thought they would. They WILL be finished today but had thought they would only take one day!!!
What a pity you won't make it to Eastnor ... in that case I shall pop something in the post to you! Happy crafting! Love Debbie xXx
Oh Maggie, how wonderful to have your daughter's drawing made up into a stamp by Clarity. It looks beautiful, so elegant. A rose stem is such a useful thing to have for lots of occasions. Pity we can't all buy it.
Hope you are still having fun in your greenhouse, it's been perfect gardening weather hasn't it.
Happy WOYWW
Hugs Lisax #123

Thank you for your comment. Do you meant the Clarity stamp was exclusive to you and noone else can purchase one? It is lovely. BJ#54
LOL - for a brief second then, I has to ask myself who Julia Mansion was! LOL....
Fab that you've had the rosebud painting made into a stamp - but how cruel that none of us can buy it! It really is lovely, well done you and well done to your daughter!
