I am hoping to get back to regular posting soon - but in the meantime, here's a little glimpse as to <strike>what </strike> WHO has been keeping me busy... let me introduce you to Zachary, born June 2013. He is such a good baby...always smiling...just like his mom :-) Hopefully I'll have a stamping buddy when he gets older.<br />

Can I just say how absolutely thrilled I am for you. This is such wonderful news, and the best reason possible for you to be a bit neglectful of your blog. Boy or girl: I'm guessing girl, since that is what I had two of, and it's been a wonderful ride (so far, but they are both teenagers as of now, so check back in a year or two!) Mazel Tov, and may he or she be healthy and a great source of joy.</div>

<br />
Don't forget to check out the <a href="http://kristencohen.blogspot.com/2013/01/announcement-and-giveaway.html" target="_blank">Giveaway Post</a> from yesterday...<br />
<br />
I have been on what seems like the endless quest for the perfect inks...I figured out a while ago that I definitely prefer dye inks to pigment (just my personal preference) - but finding the perfect ink has been TOUGH!<br />
<br />
I think I have finally found my favorite. I have had several issues with some other inks that I thought were great... the colors changed drastically over time. This did not make me happy :( Especially since I often make things ahead of time.<br />
<br />
I tried several companies inks, and right now, the two I am most happy with are Memento Inks and Hero Hues. With the Memento inks, I find that I have to use my Embossing ink first, in order to get complete coverage (not splotchy), but I don't mind. With the Hero Hues, they give me great coverage every time. The only drawback (if you can call it that - some of you might not mind) is that some of the colors do stain my stamps. <br />
<br />
Today, I am sharing my color comparison chart of Hero Hues in case any of you might be interested in trying them out :-)<br />

<br />
Today I am sharing some landscape calendars I made for Christmas gifts. The original idea came from Amber <a href="http://www.damasklove.com/diy-landscape-calendar/" target="_blank">here</a>. Love love LOVED these calendars as soon as I saw them. Amber graciously offers PDFs of her calendar templates and I snagged them up for this year's project. <br />
<br />
Here is my take on it :-)<br />

I stamped the sentiment "Peace" (From Peace, Love and Joy mini set) in embossing ink and added clear embossing powder before heating. It's a tad bit hard to see in the photo, but in person it has a neat effect.<br />

<br />
What? 2 posts in one week? I KNOW!!! I'm taking full advantage of the holiday time off to get crafty and catch up on my blog.<br />
<br />
Today's card is a birthday card with a feminine theme. I used Lovely Layers (I LOVE this set!)<br />

If it ain't broke... don't fix it, right? I always seem to keep going back to the layout that works so well for me... Circular element + Sentiment. Clean and Simple - but with a lot of impact.<br />
<br />
Today I am sharing a few Thank You cards I made - its not even Halloween yet, so thinking about snow might seem crazy, but in Chicago, it could be 70 one day and snowing the next!<br />
