A Fun Camera Card

Hello!

Today is the first day of summer break!  The girls are so excited and I am so ready for it!  We have a bunch of things planned this summer and I've been looking forward for it for months!  Something else I've been looking forward to was seeing the card I'm sharing with you today in print!  It was published in CARDS Magazine's June issue:

When I saw the issue, I was so excited!  The card looked great in print and it even had a two-page spread!  Hee!  Pretty exciting for me anyways!

For this card, I started with that cute camera stamp from the Perpetual Bliss set by Paper Smooches.  I stamped it onto the patterned papers and onto white cardstock.  I cut out the lenses and paper pieced them onto the patterned cameras.  I colored them using Copic markers and highlighted them with inks.  The papers are from the Seen & Noted line by Pebbles, Inc.  I used their 6x6 pad so that the prints are just the right size for paper piecing.

Well, I better get going- I know the girls will be up soon and ready for a day of swimming!  I can't wait!

You Rock Card

Hello!  Hope you are having a great Monday!  We are off to a late start today because of some freezing rain we had in our area.  It's kind of nice sleeping in on a Monday!  Hee!

Today I want to share a card I made for the latest Paper Crafts Magazine call- it didn't get picked up but I still love it!  I used some fun Paper Smooches stamp sets for this one:

I had so much fun piecing this little (juke box?  radio?) together! It is from the Perpetual Bliss set which has fast become my favorite stamp set! The sentiments are from a few different sets that I paired together for this look.  Can you tell it was for the sketch challenge call?

I usually don't share my rejected call cards but this one made me smile so I had to!  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Let's Chat Card

Hi!  Today I have a card for the current SPARKS Challenge by Paper Smooches. I used my new favorite stamp set, Perpetual Bliss to create this card:

Goodies:

Stamps: Perpetual Bliss by Paper Smooches
Ink: Pitch Black Adirondack pigment ink by Ranger
Paper: Naturals White, Real Red cardstock by Stampin' Up!; Seen & Noted, Walnut Grove collections by Pebbles, Inc; Dewey Decimal 6x6 pad by Lawn Fawn
Accessories: Copic markers, White Signo gel pen, White twine (craft supply)

The SPARKS challenge this week is to create something with a vintage feel. Isn't this telephone perfect?  I love how it looks with the bright floral paper- kind of a calico feel, right?  I colored the telephone with Copic markers.  I feel like I'm finally getting the hang of them!

My sister got me this stamp set for Christmas and I have had so much fun playing with it!  I even have a card using the camera stamp being published!  Thank you Trish!  You really picked a great set!!

Well, after typing this up, I am in the mood to stamp something!  Hee!  I guess that's what talking about stamps does to you! :) Hope you have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
