DIY Netowrk
As I mentioned in an earlier blog, we had our monthly stamping club yesterday. I was telling the girls what I had been doing on my blog and was trying to think of other websites that I had not been to for more stamping info. Monica told me to go to the DIY network website. They have a section on scrapbooking things you can find here and once you go through each section you will find q & a forums as well as ideas. As I went down the list, I came across a rubber stamping link on the left side of the page. I found great things under this link. I randomly went down the list and each link that I clicked on had directions with pictures. Each link that I looked I was impressed with. This is a great site to check out so if you have time take a look!

HGTV Stamping techniques
I found this site on Yahoo and decided to check out HGTV's Stamping techniques to see if I could find some new ones. I was not overly impressed with what I saw because the tricks or techniques were not pictured. I am a very visual person and when I can see an image, I am able to recreate or store the technique in memory.
This site did have several good tips from different authors that I would like to share. One of the first is to keep a notebook of stamped images. I have over 200 stamp sets and to try and remember which ones I have is sometimes overwhelming. I am now ready to go home and make a notebook of all of the stamps so that I can carry it with me and be able to jot down ideas for projects when they come to mind or use it for when I want to purchase new sets. Another great tip is for those stubborn stamps that have spots where it will not hold ink and your impression does not turn out. Try rubbing a pencil eraser over the entire stamp, especially the hard spot, or using sand paper to remedy the problem. note: do not sand too much.
I looked through what I thought would be so many new ideas or techniques, but this site was very deceiving. There were only two tips i found after searching through many links to the articles published that I thought were interesting.
