Music

This weeks Crazy4challenges blog challenge is to incorporate music into your card.

Great excuse to pull out my Guitars2play set from The Stamps of Life.

Here is the card I came up with for today's challenge.

.

I used the Center Step Up card die

The music notes are die cut with a super old original small green Sizzix die.

I still have a few of them around that I use.

 Other than that, all the supplies can be found at The Stamps of Life.

Happy 5th Anniversary

It's my daughter and son in laws 5th Anniversary today.

This card is in the mail..but even though I made it a month ago it sat on my craft table and I just discovered it on Thursday in the addressed envelope.

I got it in the mail right away but I don't think it had a chance of making it to Georgia from California in 2 days.

Here is a closer look at the 5th.

I used:

Here's the Scoop!

Time for my weekly High Hopes Post!

Today I have an oldie but goodie to share with you.

This image is Ice Cream for Two from High Hopes Stamps.

I created a center step card using the Sizzix Kind Sentiments Step up card die.
I love this die because it creates a center step card base out of an A2 card.

I colored the image with Tombow Recycled Colored Pencils.

The patterned paper is from an older pad of Echo Park Summer Days paper.

I used Spellbinders Classic Circle and Classic Scallop Circle dies.

The ribbon is May Arts.

And the fun sentiment is Here's the scoop!

Hope you enjoyed my card to day.

I know all the new releases are adorable and so exciting but if you haven't checked out some of the older images in the High Hopes store, you should because they are classic!

And...right now all the stamps are 30% off and....free shipping on orders over $50 within Canada & the US!

Happy Stamping!
