ATSM #468 - Birthday


In a lot of areas of the US, the beginning of summer starts with Memorial Day at the end of May.  Not so much here in the Pacific Northwest but I decided to channel summer anyway for the latest Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #468 Birthday.


I've been trying to figure out ways to use the Lawn Fawn Simply Celebrate series of images in strips.  How do I deal with a line of floating ice cream cones?  Watermelon?  I decided to create my own paper in a way by stamping each down the paper and coloring them up.


I did consider stamping them at an angle but my gumption said heck no so simple it stayed.  I went to town on creating different ice cream flavors tho.

I added a Lawn Fawn summery checks paper at the bottom with a bit of navy faux trim embossed with the sentiment and then the Scripty Birthday to tie it all together.

ATCAS #258 - Flower


Showcase some flowers and join in the fun at the latest Addicted to CAS Challenge.


I used the Hero Arts Merry Poinsettia Bunch as my floral image.  It has a rather modern feel to it so I paired it with Taylored Expressions Modern Holiday sentiment and used somewhat non-traditional poinsettia colors. I wonder if you can find real poinsettias in this gorgeous colorway?


I'm entering this in Peace on Earth #63.

SOSS #250 - O for Outdoors


We're heading outdoors for the latest Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge.  Pollen? Bugs? Is that poop?!  Eww!


I saw a meme on Pinterest with the "I like them real thick and sprucey" riff on Sir Mix-a-Lot's Baby's Got Back.  How could I resist; that's my jam!


I used a few couple of shades of geen to stamp the Stampin' Up Wonderland trees as a backdrop then took my time coloring up the Sugarpea Designs Timber images.  They're so so cute!  And then you read that sentiment.  Bam!  LOL.
