did you get the memo?

Hi Everyone!  Did you all have a good weekend?  We were gone camping and it was so nice to get away.  The weather was nice and not too hot.  We camp in the woods and we only saw a couple people all weekend.  It was a great weekend.

I have the pleasure of guest designing this month over on the Lawnscaping Challenge blog.  You know I love those cute images from Lawn Fawn so how could I say no when Laurel asked me to join them in the challenges this month?!  The new challenge this week is "don't forget the inside."



For the challenge, I pulled out the Just My Type and Just My Type Too stamp sets.  I thought they were the perfect sets for this challenge.  I used the typewriter from Just My Type on the front of my card.  I love that you can customize the sentiment that goes on the piece of paper!  I stamped the image with tuxedo black memento ink on copic x-press it cardstock and on my patterned paper (from Making Memories).  Then, I used some patterned papers from October Afternoon's Thrift Shop paper pad.  I colored the image with copic markers (sorry, I didn't write down the numbers) and layered a second piece of paper coming out of the typewriter with foam adhesive to give it a little more dimension.


I wanted to create the look of a piece of paper stuck to a cork board on the inside of my card (hence the kraft card base).  I stamped the sentiment from Just My Type Too on a piece of yellow cardstock.  Then, I stamped the tack from Just My Type on the top of the yellow cardstock and again on red cardstock.  I cut out the top of the tack I had stamped on red cardstock and adhered it to my yellow piece.  Then, I adhered my memo using foam adhesive.

Come join us in the challenge for the chance to win a great prize!  Thanks so much to Laurel and the rest of the Lawnscaping challenge ladies for letting me join you this month!

Have a great day!

Niki
