Hi there! Did you have a wonderful weekend? Hopefully you got to stamp!

Though this may not be your back to school week, it sure is the season for back to school! Lots of parents are singing joyous songs - LOL!

Here's a fun little project you could do if you wanted to give your child's teacher - or your child - a little back to school gift. A fun bookmark to start off the year. I used the stamp set Bookworm. After stamping, coloring, and putting it all together, I used my Xyron to laminate my project so that it will last a little bit longer.

Enjoy your day! ~Heather~

Look at this FUN card that Bev Gerard (aka Tex) created! Spooooooky and fun!

Tex used the stamp set On the Fence. And she used the sketch that Card Positioning Systems posted this week. OCL sponsored the sketch this week - and boy did we see some GORGEOUS work!

Have you seen all the new stamp sets we are offering? You won't be disappointed!

Happy Monday! What a great weekend! :)

This card was super fun to make. Black and grey with a hint of purple - ooh-la-la! This new stamp set, Vintage Traveler, is a gorgeous authentic set. And it makes me want to trave and see the Eiffel Tower! Aaaah - Paris! Have you ever been? Some day I hope to make it. For now, I will gaze at this card! LOL

If you could see the card in real life, you would see I added some SPAHKLE - I sprayed Glimmer Mist on the Eiffel Tower panel. Soooo pretty!

Have a great day! ~Heather~

Happy Monday! I hope you had a fabulous weekend!

I had to draw some attention to a particular card by our Design Team member Bev Gerard (aka Tex).

This card uses the stamp set Granny’s Support Team. It is a laugh-out-loud fun stamp set. Tex’s card used some fun elements from the set. But she also makes a GREAT point – reminding women to take care of themselves and their health year round! She did so in a fun and colorful way! LOVE this!

Have a great day!

It’s WONDERFUL Wednesday! Today I hope the sun is shining in your area. If not, let us bring some sunshine into your day!

Our card today is brought to you by Chelle Fowler. The sun, circles, and colors all just make me smile! Nevermind the fact that the sun and flower, from the stamp set Sunshine Cheer, are simply adorable! And that sentiment – this could be sent to anyone for any occasion. It is guaranteed to brighten their day!

Hi there! It’s Charmaine, and this week we’re “Celebrating Silhouettes” here on the OCL Blog and taking a look at some of the silhouette stamp sets Our Craft Lounge offers! Silhouette stamps are one of my absolute favorite kind of stamps. I love them so much because when you’re in a pinch, you don’t have to color! All ya have to do is stamp the image and maybe a sentiment and you’re done! Nothing more needed!

Today I’ll be sharing one of my all time favorite OCL sets with you, Sandy Sunsets. I loved this set the moment I first saw it and it has remained at the top of my list!

See you tomorrow! ~Charmaine

Did you see the new movie Eclipse yet? I haven't but I'm die-ing to! I love the Twilight series.... I read all the books. Want to make some fun things to coordinate a Twilight party or send another twilight-er a fun greeting? Our set For-bitten has it all!

This card uses the sets For-bitten and Love Notes... they coordinate nicely together... don't you think?

So who's team are you on? :)

Have a wonderful week!
