New Stamps!

I'm always on the lookout for fun stamps, and I
found some from the new stamp company
Reverse Confetti!  Lovin' these first sets,
especially the Happy Harbor set I used here:

This set goes perfect with the new Fancy Pants
Down by the Shore collection.  The wooden piece
is from the new Studio Calico Atlantic collection.

I stamped the anchors and the sentiment with
Stormy Sky distress ink, and I also stamped
the anchor border stamp onto the UmWow
chipboard star, and along the bottom of the
red cardstock mat using a Snow Cap
Adirondack paint dauber.

Wingin' It....

I'm sharing a soft as springtime card today, with 
one of my very favorite stamps from The Rubber Cafe'.

The Large Paisley Dragonfly stamp....and it's stamped 
with guess what?  Scrap Happy Glue, and then I gently
buffed on some of their You're So Fine glitter....


Here is a close up of the "bejeweled" dragonfly:

Sunshine Central

Oh I am so happy we have sunshine again!!!  Love spring,
don't you?  And the sunshine is spreading....to my mini
album project....I've been wanting to get my hands into
some ink and paint and create....and this mini is the
fruits of that labor!

Lots of pages.....this is an adorable wooden
book from Genuinely Jane Studios (GJS) and
the arrows are chipboard from UmWow Studio.

I sprayed the book with Dylusions spray by Dyan
Reavely and then lightly brushed it with yellow
from Creative Imaginations.  I also used that to
paint the chip pieces as well....it has a soft sheen
to it....perfect for the "sunshine".  The inside was
all covered with pretty paper from the 24/7
collection from Simple Stories and some of 
their stickers--I will try to post some pics later,
right now....blogger is giving me fits!  I did manage
to get this close up posted:
  
 
Enjoy the sunshine....but don't forget to take a 
little crafting time too!
