TSOL: Let's Talk...

Hello! I wanted to share a quick card using some The Stamps Of Life stamps.  I love these speech bubbles.  They can be used alone, or with any number of different images.  I used Stephanie's Clearsnap Spray in Grape for my panel.  I then spritzed water on it to tone it down.  I allowed the panel to dry, and then stamped the speech bubbles in Licorice ink.  I used some washi tape so it looks like it is just tacked on the card!  Easy peasy!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you all had a great Fourth of July.

Heartfelt Creations: Wash Day...

Hello!  I created a scrapbook layout for today, using stamps, dies and paper from Heartfelt Creations.  I found the vintage photo of the lady hanging wash on-line.  I love finding old photos in both antique stores and on the net.  I really wish I had a photo of my grandma hanging wash on the line in her back yard.  I used to love to help her.  I would run through the sheets as they were hanging, because I loved that fresh smell!

TSOL: It's Your Time To Shine!

Hi, there!  I wanted to share a card I made using the new club set from The Stamps Of Life, award2stamp.  You can make all kinds of award ribbons with this set, but I wanted to think out of the box, so I created a scene.  I used the Sizzix zig zag circle to create my sun which frames the circle sentiment.  The clouds are from The Stamps Of Life made by Sizzix.  The flowers are from the Pennants and Banners Sizzix set.
Make sure you check out The Stamps Of Life gallery to see what the rest of the design team created using this set!
