Price does not include shipping.  Sets will be mailed only within the USA via priority mail.  I accept checks and money orders.  If paid by check, stamps will be mailed after the check clears.  If the set is unmounted, there will be a notation "um" after the set name.  All sets are in excellent to very good condition.  If interested, please send your city/state/zip code so I can figure out the shipping for you.  When I receive your payment, I will send an acknowledgement, and when the stamps ship, I will send you an email.  I would appreciate it if you would let me know when it arrives.

The worst fear I had before leaving convention was that my camera would die.  Since I was having problems getting clear photos, 1 out of every 5, I thought it was the photographer's (my) problem and not the camera.  So I purchased the 82 page manual for my camera and read it on the flight to SLC.  I learned quite a bit about my camera, lots of features I didn't know I had, but I really couldn't find out what I was doing wrong.  On opening day of convention my camera started making some sluggish sounds, and then the "blue screen of death", a "d" and a bunch of numbers on the screen.  So I have no photos from convention to share with you.  However, I have some good friends who took photos and I'm going to grab some and post them on my blog in the next few days.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6004578441745380993-7527955433886471509?l=stampingwithpicasso.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stampingwithpicasso.blogspot.com/feeds/7527955433886471509/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6004578441745380993&amp;postID=7527955433886471509&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6004578441745380993/posts/default/7527955433886471509'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6004578441745380993/posts/default/7527955433886471509'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stampingwithpicasso.blogspot.com/2008/08/my-camera-diedthe-blue-screen-of-death.html' title='My Camera Died...The Blue Screen of Death, Oh My!'/><author><name>Picasso</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14919947968350319079</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GvSDGsfRJfI/SQ6YIWGIJpI/AAAAAAAAAJo/XjBTU6cs83w/S220/Picasso+with+hello+stamp.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004578441745380993.post-2029702741886132487</id><published>2008-07-25T20:48:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-25T20:54:22.430-07:00</updated><title type='text'>WOW Flowers</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_GvSDGsfRJfI/SIqepTVpqaI/AAAAAAAAAE8/e0tPm6mUpWU/s1600-h/WOW+Flowers.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227164749919791522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_GvSDGsfRJfI/SIqepTVpqaI/AAAAAAAAAE8/e0tPm6mUpWU/s320/WOW+Flowers.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; I thought I was done yesterday with my swaps for convention, but I couldn't resist today playing with the new In Colors.

I stamped the trees and then punched out a 1 1/4" circle from a piece of scrap paper to make the mask around the sun and sponged inside the circle with Barely Banana ink to create the sun . I then used the 1 1/4" circle and masked the sun so I could sponge the colors around the sun. When I was done sponging the card, I put VersaMark all over the image and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. Unfortunately, this scan does not show how the card shines.

When the cards were complete I thought it needed a little bling, so I used a 2-Way Glue Pen and Dazzling Diamonds glitter. Had I thought about this while stamping the trees, I would have substituted the clear embossing powder with Iridescent Ice embossing powder. It would have been easier and not quite as messy. The card on the left was made with Tempting Turquoise and Taken with Teal cardstock. The card on the right is Almost Amethyst and Elegant Eggplant. My photos don't do them justice. Maybe it's the photographer that doesn't know how to take pictures. I sure could use some photo tips or enroll in a photography class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other supplies used: Basic Black and Whisper White card stock,&lt;br /&gt;Classic Basic Black ink, Crop-a-dile, Tempting Turquoise and Silver brads, Stampin' Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive. I will be trading these cards at convention next week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is another card I've been playing with. I like the design, but not the colors. So back to the stamp room I go to play some more. If I'm pleased with the results, I'll be bringing some of these to trade also.&lt;br /&gt;Technique: Faux Tile&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_GvSDGsfRJfI/SIaP-hKqQSI/AAAAAAAAAEc/7eJjgrLI4wM/s1600-h/P7220005+sm.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226022721827782946" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_GvSDGsfRJfI/SIaP-hKqQSI/AAAAAAAAAEc/7eJjgrLI4wM/s320/P7220005+sm.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;I scanned the two photos at the top and they are below.

The scallop can be removed and used as a refrigerator magnet. Under the scallop is another cupcake, and behind the cupcake is another magnet. The first two cards I made, I used the corner rounder to make the scallops. I just knew I'd never be able to make 46 cards with the corner rounder, or my hands would fall off, then I wouldn't be able to swap at convention. I love the new Scallop Edge punch. It's very easy to use, and it beats using the corner rounder to make all those scallops.

Our original, exclusive stamps have earned the prestigious Creating Keepsakes Readers' Choice Award for best rubber stamps eight years in a row, and every year we work to make them even better!&lt;br /&gt;We're excited to announce that all new stamp sets in the Fall-Winter 2008 Idea Book &amp;amp; Catalog (including new hostess sets) will be die cut for your convenience! We know you enjoy the flexibility of custom mounting your stamps, and with these die-cut sets, all you'll need to do is pop, peel, and place before you begin stamping.&lt;br /&gt;Only our new stamps will be die cut; sets carried over from the last catalog and those on the dormant list will still require trimming. But, each new set will feature a die cut icon so you will have no problems identifying die-cut sets.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6004578441745380993-5131123663085961656?l=stampingwithpicasso.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6004578441745380993/posts/default/5131123663085961656'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6004578441745380993/posts/default/5131123663085961656'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stampingwithpicasso.blogspot.com/2008/07/all-new-stamp-sets-are-die-cut.html' title='All New Stamp Sets Are Die Cut!'/><author><name>Picasso</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14919947968350319079</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GvSDGsfRJfI/SQ6YIWGIJpI/AAAAAAAAAJo/XjBTU6cs83w/S220/Picasso+with+hello+stamp.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004578441745380993.post-6027001731006537495</id><published>2008-06-30T23:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-30T23:39:59.347-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hodgepodge Hardware Discount</title><content type='html'>Dates: July 1-August 10 (or while supplies last)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Promotion Details:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The following Hodgepodge Hardware finishes are being offered at a special 25 percent discount:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Item #&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Page #&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Item Desc.

Décor Elements takes that same idea and uses a different medium to accomplish the same mission, making your home a beautiful representation of your style. And it’s inexpensive compared to painting, framing art, or buying new furniture!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more information &lt;a href="http://www.stampinup.com/us/enu/11075.asp"&gt;click here &lt;/a&gt;to view the brochure, installation instructions and video. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6004578441745380993-4091559656819776892?l=stampingwithpicasso.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6004578441745380993/posts/default/4091559656819776892'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6004578441745380993/posts/default/4091559656819776892'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stampingwithpicasso.blogspot.com/2008/06/dcor-elements.html' title='Décor Elements'/><author><name>Picasso</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14919947968350319079</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GvSDGsfRJfI/SQ6YIWGIJpI/AAAAAAAAAJo/XjBTU6cs83w/S220/Picasso+with+hello+stamp.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_GvSDGsfRJfI/SGq5yd6aY2I/AAAAAAAAABg/n3a0ONyxUM8/s72-c/decorelements_web_0001_0608+altered.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004578441745380993.post-4514397509201974898</id><published>2008-06-20T23:55:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-21T00:01:08.418-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I’m Officially a Blogger, Whoo Hoo!</title><content type='html'>Welcome to my new blog.
