The Stamps of Life: Phone4You

_MG_8048Good Morning Blogosphere!

How goes it? Do you have exciting plans for this Mother’s Day Weekend or are you more like us and have set plans to relax? I plan on going to brunch at a friend’s house tomorrow morning (in PJS, of course) and then crafting my little heart out the rest of the day :)

Here’s a card I created using The Stamps of Life new club set, Phone4You! It’s such a fun set with this awesome retro telephone! I also used the Colorbox Inks for Stephanie Barnard in Licorice and Sky! You should check out all the amazingness in the gallery!

I’m sure Stephanie will think of a stamp set involving text messages because these days all we do is “text” a friend! LOL!

Thanks so much for joining me this morning! Enjoy your weekend!

Lawn Fawn Release Week: Blue Skies

tiffssunnyskiesHello Blogosphere!

It’s that time again, time for another Lawn Fawn Release! Today we’re showcasing Blue Skies Stamps and Lawn Cuts Dies!

For my layout, I doodled camo print using a Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Pitt Pen (S) onto some of the elements and then colored them in with Art Grip Colored Pencils. I used Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares Regular & Thin to vary the dimension and depth of the embellishments!

The title uses Quinn’s ABCs stamps and then an hombre coloring technique using Art Grip Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils! The banners and stars were also colored with the same medium.

This layout is EVER so meaningful to me! During this deployment, I was a Point-of-Contact for our Family Readiness Group and there was one mom in particular who was diligent in asking questions and finding out information. We kept in contact since day 1 and occasionally she would email me to say thank you for doing my duties. Unfortunately, she couldn’t be there upon her son’s return, so the kids and I made a welcome home sign for him and showered him with hugs! I’ll be sending this layout to his mom this week :)

Well, I hope you’ll check out the Lawn Fawn Blog post….the projects are ABOVE & BEYOND amazing! No joke! And, I hear there’s a giveaway a day ;)
