{ 30 days of stamping }

30 days of stamping and cardmaking going on at Two Peas in a Bucket with fun challenges and prizes. Since I love stamps I participated in some of the activities.

Here is a layout I made for a challenge by Nichol Magouirk to use stamped journaling on a layout. I haven't made a 8.5" x 11" since I started scrapbooking many years ago. I made this one, loved it and I haven't stopped. I will share more soon.

I am using new stamps from Technique Tuesday: Ordinary Days by Ali Edwards, Let's Call it a Date. I stamped "today" form Ordinary Days on the bottom of my ledger patterned paper. I added another "today" at the top of the page that I stamped and cut out.  The other large stamp "Wonderfully ordinary Average Day" is stamped on one of Elle's Studio new tags.

I used Studio Calico and My Mind's Eye patterned paper, Making Memories butterflies, Elle's Studio tags, 7gypseis tape and Martha Stewart twine.

I love the little date stamp set, Let's Call it a Date...super cute!

I haven't decided if I will wake up early to watch the Royal Wedding. I set the DVR just in case. What are your plans? 

Have a great night.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge - Do the Polka... dots, that is! }

Hello and welcome to another Impression Obsession DT challenge. Post a link to your creations on our challenge post at Impression Obsession blog. If you play you could win a $25 gift certificate to the Impression Obsession store.

I made a card using  CR84FN color challenge 24: Light blue, aqua and cream, and Card Patterns Sketch 111.

I used Thick Borders WP80 stamp for my background. I like the really big polka dots. I stamped the Silhouette 15 D5565 butterflies in light blue ink on cardstock that was stamped with Cover-a-card Large Dots CC007 from another project and cut them out. I added Prima flower and lace and a sentiment from All Occasion II CL307 stamp set.

I hope you'll take the time to visit the other designer's blogs for inspiration!
