Too Much Fun!

This week's challenge, over at Unscripted Sketches was a fun sketch. As soon as I looked at it, I knew that I had to grab one of my all time favorite Stampendous Stamps!

The lady on this stamp is just having the best time, and her cheerfulness is contagious. Whenever I want to stamp "happy", she's what I reach for!

The sentiment is from the TAC Tag Tidbits set, and the paper is Cloud Nine Designs. (love that too!)

Caryl, I think we really need to name this lady too!

For the staples, I opened up one of the ends, strung them with little pink beads, and then punched holes where the staples needed to go. I pushed them through, and closed them on the back side - fancy ladies need fancy staples!

Hope you like it!

I'm off to the city for a doc appt. with DH. It will probably be a LONG day, so have a good one, and I'll be back soon!

This sketch...

This sketch was pretty tough! The examples mostly had photograps in the main boxes, and definitely showed two boxes side by side.

Well, since I don't have occasion to shoot a lot of photo's of kids or fun things anymore, I decided to just use an image. I used a stamp from TAC's new set "Playful Parenthesis". I stamped it with black ink on white cs and then with white ink on black cs. I cut each down the middle and adhered half black and half white together. I thought this would differentiate that there were two photo blocks. The fabulous papers are from Gina K's downloadable papers. The pattern is "Jersey Shore". I hope that you like it! The photo is not very good - it's dark and dreary, and rainy this a.m.!

Have a great day - off to work I go! (I think I'm down to 39 work days today before retirement!)
