    Diana, I love your blog. It is my daily fix. I think it would be nice to list in your categories The name of your stamp set used.In the category for that particular stamp set you would store all cards, etc. that you used that set for. That way we can see a variety of ideas for a particular stamp set. Keep up the great work with your blog.

    Di,

    aren't you just the sweetest thing!! I would love to see you do a video on watercoloring. I love the look, but do not do it very well. Would you be willing to showcase ALL the different ways to watercolor, like pastels, reinkers, blender pens, aqua pens, etc?

    Hi Diana!
    I think it would be cool to have a weekly(?)segment of "anything but a card". Show off your many talents with picture frames, bags, tags, boxes, calendars, ….. Inspire your readers to think outside the stamp case. Oh..and more pictures of Toby!
    Thanks for taking the time to post everyday. It's great!

Ok back to stamping how about showing us how you make some of the harder cards like you did with the faux metal tin ceiling. Or making really simple and easy cards. You can also do more humorous cards.

I also love it when you share what is going on in your backyard with the creatures you see. But I think my favorite is when you teach me new techniques. I'd love to have more of those, and maybe a sidebar to store them in. If I didn't live on the East Coast, I'd be at all of your technique lovers classes!

I also love all your stories, especially of all the animals, birds, etc. The baby bunny was so, so sweet and I was amazed to see you holding a hummingbird! You are a wonderful demonstrator and seem like such a great person. All I can say for suggestions is keep doing what you are already doing – it's the best.

    I just love your funny/quirky cards….No one else does them EXCEPT you. I can't get enough of the funny ideas you come up with using Stampin' Up stamps, which are usually very quiet and kind of serious. So I vote for more funny ideas with Stampin Up items :0) Thanks for all the hard work and the chance to win some blog candy.

    I hopefully got the English correct for you.
    I really enjoy the dimesional feel to cards, like the dioramas and shutters. Do you have anything like that up your sleeve?!

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
