I have created 12 pages in the last few days…how fun is that :) All but 2 still need pictures. LOL. On Tuesday I will be headed to wolf camera to pick up a ton of prints for 6 cents each!!! They’re only 3.5x5 but perfect for lots of pictures on a page, just the way I like it. Thanks for the tip, Malinda. I have printed a ton of pictures since you told me about the online special on Tuesdays and Wednesdays!!!

look pictures LOL I am loving the kiwi kiss journal strips and the bright delight colored rub ons…easy peasy, just print, cut, and rub :) The rub on numbers on the photos really pop in person!

Good Times with Good Friends!

  The Stamp A Stack on Sat was so much FUN…I just love spending time with friends, to bad I forgot to take a picture of all the craziness. LOL

This is my NEW favorite set from the catalog so that’s why I had to use it for the SAS card I created. Above is the Step it Up version of the card we made. I used the “Stamp Off”  technique on this card because I wanted to show depth making his tail and wing darker then his body. To stamp off you ink the bird once and stamp it 3 times. This is the order I stamped the bird to get this effect…….first on the inside of the card {on the white cs}. Then, I stamped the bird again on a scrap of white cs and cut out just his body {no tail}. I stamped the bird one more time on pacific point cs. The pacific point was just so I could cut out the wing for the bird {so I didn’t stamp the full image just part of the body it get the wing}. Did you follow all that? LOL I used dimensional to pop the body of the bird off the card. His body overlaps the fold in the card so he acts as the closure to the card…isn’t that cute? I stamped his beak on the inside and outside of the card so he looks the same this the card open or shut. 

You have to slip the top of the card under the birds head to close it!!! I love this next pic because it shows all the texture from the big shots new texturez plates!!! You have to have these!!! Plus, you’ll love the new eyelet border punch for all your cards, it works great with elegant and FUN designs! On this next card the layout, stamps and DSP are the same I just changed base color of the card to Kiwi Kiss and used Very Vanilla as the inside layer. I chose to open this card from the top instead of the side to create a dramatic look when you open the card. Isn’t this just so sweet!

I love the retro look of the grass using the burst stamp from the good friend stamp set. But, my favorite part of this cards {and by far the best new accessory in the  catalog} is the corduroy buttons and brads.
