Last month I went to Vegas and stopped at this awesome stamp store Viva Las Vegas Stamps. I must admit I had dropped by the location on a previous visit and was too scared to go inside so I placed orders via their website. Being a paranoid New Yorker, trusting no one and unfamiliar with the location I had some reservations. It didn’t help that my husband said “this looks like one of those places you enter and they stuff a ball gag in your mouth and you will never be seen again”

Well, as you can see I survived with a smile from ear to ear holding all of that rubber!  I have never seen so many stamps in one place before. They had everything you could dream up! So I placed an order for some unmounted rubber images and just found some time to play with a few.  I bought a lot of frogs, a drunk cat passed out on the floor surrounded by cigarettes and broken bottles, and the image I will be using for this years Christmas card this year (It’s a secret)

I jut felt like doodling and not actually making a completed card. I know cutesy images but we all have em and love em…Here is a cute Halloween image of a pumpkin being towed by frogs (love my frogs)

Here is a cute MnM lady shopping with the Vegas skyline in the back. I thought she was adorable! Had to get her. The packages and some of the money is popped for dimesnion but you can’t really see it in the picture. Used my prismacolors for coloring. I actually broke down and ordered 24 copic markers so we shall see what I can do with them. So expensive I want to wear them around my neck!

Hope to find time to play with the rest. I have so many stamps I just had to buy and have not played with yet. I really wish I didn’t have to work for a living! TFL
