Seems I never get enough rubber stamps! Getting new ones is so delightful! This border stamp from Stampin Up is so charming to me…a dainty and delicate floral motif that comes on the wheel and I remove them as soon as I can! I was looking for a scrap to do something with and pulled this strip of blue/greenish card-stock out of the box and it was the beginning of this card. I used the Fiskars apron punch again, keeping the clean white look, a white prima flower and more punch pieces for the brown greenery. The kraft leaves look better IRL, in my opinion….hehe The text stamp is from Printworks and stamped in Versafine Black ink. I used Espresso Adirondack ink for the floral motif. A button from Making Memories and a little piece of jute in the holes. Now, to decide what to work on next!
Connie’s cute Leprechaun
charming green guy actual size
My sister Connie and her DH were here Sat. afternoon through Sun. morning…long enough to spend time w/our family and create w/the Paper doll cartridge for the Cricut. The next layout Connie is planning to create is one of her grandsons in leprechaun garb….so this little green guy is going on a scrapbook page soon!
So fun to create these little paper dolls! All the little extra touches w/the paper piercer, chalks and inking really make for a realistic looking character…He is a 3 in. doll…
Hope he makes you smile!

New Life
What’s it like to get hatched?
Can you just hear the bunnies asking the chick?
I love this vintage image. I covered it w/the super sticky double sided tape sheet and applied the glass micro beads and pressed them into the tape.
The egg shape is from the Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge, two sizes and the larger trimmed w/the Fiskars mini scallop scissors.
The background is stamped and embossed in clear. Ink smeared on and the embossing ironed off.
The tulip is a punch layered up to give the look of chipboard…
copic markers to color the tulip….

Have you ever ventured out to a used stamp sale at a retail store? Interesting to say the least! Fun until someone is so close to you, you want to step back and say, ”would you like to go around me?”! Ugh! Or actually I wanted to holler at her like she was my child….get off my elbow! It was the first time for me and I could tell the gals that had been to this sale before….yep, very interesting! lol
I found some really fun stamps and one was this marching band stamp, perfect for what I needed for tomorrow night’s swap!!! I had fun…REALLY! lol
