This week’s Stamp of the Week is our #4402-O Damselfly image. And no, although it sounds like it ought to be, a damselfly is not a girl dragonfly. 
A damselfly is an insect very similar to the dragonfly but there are a few key differences…
A dragonfly has a more stout body, and the rear wings have a broader base and are a little larger than the front pair. Its wings also extend to each side while it is perched.
A damselfly, by contrast, has a more slender body. The front and hind wings are similar in shape, and as a result they fly slower than dragonflies do. But the key difference… damselflies have hinges enabling them to fold their wings together when resting which dragonflies cannot do. Bet you weren’t expecting a nature lesson today, huh?!
Damselflies or dragonflies… I love them both for their beautiful colors and their skill at keeping the mosquito population in check in my backyard. And now I can also admire them for how wonderful they look stamped on a card. Just check out these beautiful cards the Rock Stars created to inspire you this week!
Need a damselfly stamp of your own? This stamp is available exclusively to our blog readers at 50% OFF from July 26 - August 1, 2010 only. (Limited to 1 per person please.) If you would like to purchase this stamp please click on this Damselfly link and scroll down the page a bit.

I hope you had a pleasant weekend doing something special. I spent mine in Pittsburgh, PA doing another stamp convention. Keeping up with my blogging when I spend so much time on the road is a bit of a challenge, but I think it’s totally worth it. Of course it helps that I have such a great design team creating fabulous things for me to share with you!
You must have noticed by now, Monday is always an important day here at The House That Stamps Built. It’s Stamp of the Week day again! This time we’re offering up our #1704-P Great Blue Heron.

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great 4th!! The weather was just spectacular here in Maine all weekend. Bill and I celebrated America’s birthday with a big group of family and friends… enjoyed a dip in the lake and ate way too much good food of course! But holiday calories don’t count, right?!

One of my favorite sightings in Maine are the lupines that bloom along a stretch of road near here every June. The long, sweeping patches bursting with purples, blues and pinks are always breathtaking.
Unfortunately lupines aren’t around for very long, but while they are here they really do make quite an impact. So this week I’m celebrating my favorite wildflower and prolonging their season by featuring my #1711-K Lupine image for our Stamp of the Week. And just look at all the beautiful cards our Rock Stars have created to inspire you!
This stamp is available exclusively to our blog readers at 50% OFF from June 28 - July 4, 2010 only. (Limited to 1 per person please.)

My how time flies… I can hardly believe today is the official first day of summer! Woohoo! Before I know it one of my favorite holidays will be upon us. I love celebrating the 4th of July… a special day to watch my little niece twirl her baton in the parade, then gather with family and friends by the lake for some fun in the sun, cook-out and fireworks… time to celebrate the red, white and blue!
