 I finally created a card using a stamp set I bought months ago.

I couldn't resist the sale, plus my daughters LOVE music!

Years ago, I learned a valuable tip from Laurie at her blog soapboxcreations 

using Press & Seal.

I would not have attempted this card without it.

Here I used Press & Seal to lift the bubble line from my extremely loved cutting plate~

 I flipped it over to add glue ~

The final pic shows the back of the pink layer which you don't see in my finished card.

 I try to use every. last. bit. of my precious cardstock.

Transformation Tuesday with Stephanie Gold

dies: Papertrey Ink On the Wagon/ Celebrate Big (limited time free customer set)/Tinsel & Tags scalloped circle, Taylored Expressions Crustaceans  other: Papertrey Ink Modern Background Stencil

Here's my masculine creation from last month:

I thought it would be fun to not only feminize it, but jazz it up for a celebration.

 Summer is the time for bright colors~perfect for neon patterned paper.

 I built up from there with a pink lobster and coordinating colors.

It should scream pah~teyyy. ;)

Have a good one~

 

Dream Big

When I stamp, I end up with extra finished images.

I like to play around with different color combinations, so I almost always have leftovers.

These seemed to play nice together~

 I followed CAS(E) this Sketch this week:

 I have a renewed fascination for cars lately...I've been enjoying Comedians In Cars on Netflix.

Jerry Seinfield highlights the coolest cars I've ever seen!

The interviews are fun too.

The show didn't get great reviews...but thumbs up from me!

Abstract Creative Lifestyle

I approach life creatively~

park like I've never done it before...

cook like a novice...

and sometimes speak as if I'm fresh to the planet.

ha!!

Let's just say that my creativity is better translated into cards than anything else. ;)

Abstract designs are my favorite to make.

They're like the jazz genre of the cardmaking world. 

With chill vibes and a relaxed atmosphere...it's all about expression.

 "Noteworthy" had me think bubbly dance party, so I went from there.


I used these beautiful tranquil colors~

I'm also entering this challenge~

Rainbow Arch Leftovers

I've got oodles of tiny scraps laying about and this card is a product from them.

The arch strips are left over from a rainbow~I couldn't throw them away!

My thought process when making this card, was that ordinary days can be fun and joyful too!

We don't need to save the feels for the big celebrations or holidays.

Every day is an opportunity to experience joy.
