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

Spring Green

 

 Wednesday Stamper Challenge  this week is to “play” with the color Green.  So,  I played w/green, stamps and punches!  Stampendous,  Hero Arts and Technique Tuesday stamps.  Martha Stewart fence and butterfly punches,  the leaves in the fence are from an old big flower punch set by Family Treasures, the kind that came in the wooden box w/the acrylic lid.  The paper is from the Basic Grey O Baby set and the ink is Clearsnap Vivid Olive dye ink. The gold adhesive rhinestones are from Hero Arts.

Fresh…that’s what I think of green today! lol

It’s a dreary, dreary, rainy day here,  not good for taking pictures!  BUT, at least I’m getting in a new post! woohoo!LOVE Lasting Impressions pattern papers!  I used a few I picked up in Des Moines at Outstamping Designs in Valley Junction on this card.

Then,  I had to try out the Spellbinders  scallop dot border die that’s been laying there on the desk taunting me….oh and the Sizzix button die hadn’t been used yet either!  Just kept thinking it’d make cute flowers!  The leaf is the Martha Stewart rose petal punch.  The wishing you is a Penny Black stamp.  Buttons are from a long time ago, a  Making Memories case of buttons.

And,  I better not forget the new Fiskars Apron border punch…love it,  probably because of it’s name! lol

I didn’t smear any ink on anything on this card!  I’ve been looking at some blogs where the gals use white a lot!  So,  I’m giving it a try….

happy, happy day!
