Chatterboxes (& a Chance to Win!)


Chatterboxes. Yep, I've got two. Built right in and no way to pause them or turn down the volume. They say the funniest and most insightful things! Sometimes you can make them run longer by giving them sugar, and the only way to turn them off is when they go to bed. Yep, two little Chatterboxes, my two little boys. Sorry, these chatterboxes are not for sale, as I love my chatterboxes to pieces.

Chatterbox. Perfect name for the second stamp set being released this month by Practicing Creativity Designs! This stamp set has a ton of modern and classy large words and even more small supplement words. Trust me, this set fills a lot of gaps in the stamping world and you can mix and match and never get bored!


The first card shows a bit of the fun side that this set has to offer. This second card shows how the larger words are quite elegant and can stand alone. (The colors are inspired by the Off the Wall Craftiness Challenge-I had to play this week, loving the colors!)


Please head on over to Dana's and Paulina's blogs for more eye candy, and then stop by Courtney's where she has a super great video and for a chance to win it!

  5. I just love these cards Karen! The first one is super fun with the way you cut the strips of paper. I have a 2 yr old chatterbox at home, he had to have learned it from somewhere...hmmm. It is endless fun listening to him go on and on!

  7. Ha ha, my youngest is the chatterbox in our family. Sometimes I have to say, "Honey, can you please stop talking for one minute...Mommy's ears hurt!"

    I love the two sentiments you paired together in the first card...sweet. And I love the way the larger sentiment can truly stand alone in the second card. Simple and beautiful.
