Let's Hear It For the Boys....

Seems we are always looking for samples of cards to send to our boys/sons/grandson, etc.  Well, here is one we made in class this month that is perfect for a boy--of any age.

This sample uses the Extreme Skateboard and Extreme Elements stamp sets and the GOOD TIMES from the Celebrate Everything set that is retiring on June 30.  I hate to see that one go!  I stamped the skateboarders with Pacific Point, Crushed Curry and Dusty Durango.  The background images are stamped with Sahara Sand.   Pacific Point is one of our formerly retired In Colors that will be a new Core Color coming July 1.

Thanks for visiting today!!  Happy stamping!!  Smiles, Laura

Busy week...

I have company today and probably won't be posting alot the rest of the week.  But I do want to share one card with you that I think you'll like.

This stamp of the fellow on the dirt bike is probably upside down.  I think the fellow is supposed to be upside down, but I like him this way.  In order to make him look like he's "in motion", I stamped him at the darkest place first, then several times back down the left side of the paper.  The stamp is called Extreme Dirt Bike.  The quote is from the Hope Happens stamp set, and the background stamping is from the Extreme Elements set. 

To get the Pacific Point background for the wide oval, I punches two of the Curly Label punches and overlapped them. Neat, huh?

Thanks for visiting today.  More later.....  Smiles, Laura
