My boys are infatuated with this movie called Master of Disguise. It is full of children's slapstick humor, and every once in a while, I find myself chuckling as well (hmm...perhaps not after the fifteenth time of viewing it, though.) There is a scene where the gentleman disguises himself with a bald cap and a giant turtle suit, and well, it is just funny, trust me!
I had the extreme pleasure to guest design for Market Street Stamps this month. Market Street Stamps offer some of the most amazing and unique background
stamps, it is what first drew me in! I paired a couple of these
background stamps with the fun, bold sentiment stamps from Great Big Greetings and a few older chipboard embellishments for my cards today. This first card uses the background stamp Vintage Notepad
stamped in pink, a chipboard phone and the fun Call Me sentiment. I
finished the card with some burlap string tied in a bow and a rounded
corner-this card is perfect for mailing!
This next card uses the Cane background stamp also stamped in pink, a chipboard turtle and heart and the poignant I Really Miss You sentiment. I finished this card with some stitching and a rounded corner as well, another card perfect for mailing. I can tell I'm going to have a great time trying out other combinations of Market Street background stamps and the sentiments from Great Big Greetings, it will also give me a chance to use up some of the chipboard shapes or stickers I've been hoarding!
