New Mothers Day Stamps Coming This Week!

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! What did you do over the weekend? I spent Saturday with my In-Laws from Oregon, and Grand Parents. We went to the Dafadil parade in Puyallup, WA. I hadn't been to a parade in several years. It lasted about 3 hours. It was really fun to watch all the marching bands, clowns, and pirates. Then we all went to the casino, ( I don't gamble), but it was fun to watch the others. Then we went and had dinner. Sunday I spent my day spring cleaning my home. Boy did it need it. I still have alot to get cleaned up, but at least I've started it.

Mothers Day is May 13th! Are you ready? I'm not. I better get ready! We offer Gift Certificates, they make perfect gifts! If your interested you can find the Gift Certificates in the Stamps category. I've been busy with Terrye's new images the last few weeks. The new Mothers Day stamps will come out this week. There are quite a few of them. I will be creating something for Mothers Day with these new designs! So stop on by and take a peek!

Some Bunny Loves You Single Stamps Added

Easter is only a few weeks away! I'm a little more excited about it this year than last because my granddaughter who is 2 1/2 now will be looking for eggs. I just told her the other day the Easter Bunny is coming soon, and she is excited! Anyway, The "Some Bunny Loves You" Set are available as single stamps now. I added all of them today. Sorry for the delay on these. I tried to add them the other day and blogger wouldn't let me upload any of my photos. I never did figure out what the problem was. Oh well it works now! I will soon have a photo of what I've created with the set! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

New Stamp Release - Easter Set - Some Bunny Loves You!

Hard to believe that today is the first day of spring! I'm sure most of you are happy for the nice weather you’re experiencing. I wish it would come my way! So, it's the perfect time to introduce a new stamp set for spring & Easter. This is an adorable little Easter set. So many things can be done with this set. I have already been using them on a new creation that I will be posting shortly. You can find this set in our stamp category. Click to view larger image. I hope you enjoy this set as much as we do!

Terryes New Creations Using Her Rubber Stamps!

Hello TT Friends! I don't know about you, but I'm so ready for spring to arrive. We're still experiencing a rain snow mixture here on and off. I miss the sunshine! Speaking of spring & sunshine, I wanted to show you the latest spring creations from Terrye French. She's created several new pieces using her rubber stamps. The first one is called "Butterfly Angel" where she's created a chalkboard. She's used the "Butterfly Stamp #139-S" to stamp around the edges and above the wagon.

The second one is a wall hanging called "Key To My Heart". She's painted an adorable primitive angel holding a basket of pansies with a butterfly cage, and butterfly on this old piece of wood. Terrye used her "Hope Angel Stamp #120-S" around the edges by bending the stamp and stamping only the top of her. I love this piece so much that I bid for it and won. It's my first Terrye French painting purchase. I'm so excited to have it in my home!

This next piece is a Spring Angel painted on a long piece of slate. On the bottom of her dress she has stamped a set of three flowers with some grass using her "Set Of Three Flowers Stamp #149-S". This piece hangs by a piece of pink ribbon. I must say that I LOVE this piece too!

And this one is a fantastic idea for using her "Angel In My Pocket Stamps #109-S". She's used these old tiles to make a set of Primitive Coasters". Terrye amazes me with what she can create using her stamps. I just love all her ideas and paintings!

I wish I could create more things with the stamps, but I have to work on my painting orders from my other website first, "Adorable Country Classics Home Decor & Gifts". But, this Saturday I will make something using her rubber stamps and will post it here when I'm finished. I am also going to be entering into some challenges with what I create. I will have the information about the challenges when I post my creation. I'm working on images for easter right now, and will have them up soon! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and are able to spend some time being creative!

Welcome To Treasured Times!

Welcome to Treasured Times Rubber Stamps & Scrapbooking! I'm so glad you stopped on in for a visit!


My intentions for this site, is to create paper crafts, such as Greeting Cards, Bookmarks, Ornaments & more, using Terrye French designs, that have been turned into clear stamps. I'm going to provide a step by step tutorial with photos, on each item I make. Under the Tutorial I will have the list of products that I used to make that item, available for purchase. Or you may purchase them from our "Stamps" & "Stamping Supplies" pages. I will be adding more Stamps & Stamping supplies as we go along.
My first tutorial will be posted in the next couple of days.

My mission for this blog is to bring out the creative side in you, that you think doesn't exist. I'm often told by many acquaintances that they wish they were crafty, an artist, or that they could never make anything themselves. My response is the same every time. "Anyone can create and be an artist"! It takes a little time, and practice, and before you know it, you've created something very special! I'm hoping my blog will inspire you to make some things for yourself, family members, or your friends.

If there is a Terrye French design you'd like to see turned into a clear stamp, feel free to email me and let me know.

If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to email or phone me.
