Be yourself

"Be yourself" is May's stamp of the month. . . . I have been having so much fun with the "tickled pink" stamp set that I hadn't until tonight done anything with this girly set.

These stamps are great to use as silhouettes or to cut out and layer the outfits.

The paper packet that I used is called Creative Basics Animal Cookies. It also comes with a spool a white grossgrain ribbon


I love the running girl. My niece recently ran a mini-marathon. I'm going to send the running girl card to her. . . . also, my daughter is in track. . . I'll use it for her scrapbook pages.

Chalk it up

I think tone on tone chalking is a great way to add dimension to a project.

The color is a little off on the photo. . . sorry, the papers are from the Summer Idea book. . . Bella.

Three fun techniques. . . Later, I'll post a card using
the last one. . . .

About a month a go Kathi of http://www.kathiscreativecorner.blogspot.com/ introduced me to the idea of creating my own rainbow pad with CTMH re-inkers and a babywipe. I used watermelon, orange, and sunny yellow re-inkers. . . . Do you recognize the stamp set? It's part of the Tickled Pink Incentive. . . it's also the same stamp set that I used on the twilight cards in a previous post. I can't wait to try some other color combinations.
