happy birthday

I'm still taking some time off from stamping, but I have a couple more cards I can share still.  Do you subscribe to the Stampavie newsletter?  Every couple months, there is a newsletter released.  The style of the newsletter is like reading a magazine.  There are lots of beautiful cards from the design team along with full supply lists.  It's a great resource and lots of fun to read!  If you missed the May issue, you can still download it here.  You can sign up to receive the newsletter here if you don't already.



This is one of the cards that I created for the newsletter.  I used the Little Rascals image illustrated by Penny Johnson.  One of the things that I love about Stampavie is that they have such cute images for girls and boys!  It can be so difficult to find great boy images.  I stamped the image on copic x-press it cardstock with tuxedo black memento ink and colored it with copic markers.  I paired the image with some patterned papers from My Mind's Eye.  I used a sentiment from Waltzingmouse Stamps and finished my card off with lots of stitching and a button.  (You can read the full supply list in the newsletter.)

Have a great week!
