Enjoy Simple Beauty

Happy Saturday!  It's raining rubber at my house!  I have a few new releases just hit my desk that I am creating with. Of course that means not sharing anything too much on my blog. :)

I took a break from my other projects to create a tag for the Fashionable Stamping Challenge of Anything Goes. 

I used a combination of Artistic Outpost Sets to create my tag.  (Keeper, Whimsical Melange, Old Grist Mill) The background was supposed to emulate the flannel shirt. I had embossed using a Sizzix embossing folder and smeared a combination of blues, reds and brown distress inks over the surface.  My favorite was creating the string of fish. I stamped, colored with the coordinating distress inks and cut them out to attach to the twine.

Of course I had to add the ruler as every fish needs to be measured!

We are celebrating my youngest birthday with a family party. A little delayed due to our vacation.  Things are wrapping up for the summer. My older kids are back in school next week.  Maybe it will quiet down a bit after that.

Have a lovely weekend!

Masculine Cards

I created a series of cards for my November class at my LSS.  I used Artistic Outpost and created a series of  masculine cards.

Here is the first card I created. Love this stamp plate, Cracker Jack  it consists of  vintage baseball images.  Baseball is very popular in our house so this stamp plate is going to get a lot of use.   :)

The next card was created using the Steampunk stamp plate. The images work beautifully with the Graphic 45 Steampunk paper.

 

The last card is from the Old Grist Mill stamp set. 

 Sorry about the triple card post. :) 

Glad you stopped by and hope your weekend is fun!
