Awe Come On...Give it a Try!

Good morning ladies and HAPPY FRIDAY!!! I am here today to share my huge accomplishment...I used stamps on a scrapbook layout!!! This has really been a HUGE challenge for me in the past. And I'm saying on my scrapbook layout, but the fact that I used the stamps at all is really the accomplishment. Almost every time I commit to using my stamps, I end up trashing it...I have trouble working them in! But this time I challenged myself to show the stamps off! In the April kit this month you get these wonderful, beautiful babies...

And I created this...

FUN





So I used the oh so bright and beautiful Gertie by My Mind's Eye...yum! And to make the clear and crisp images from my stamps, I practiced. For me that is key...practice! I do use StazOn Ink which is perfect for stamping intricate images, and I just stamp on a scrap piece of paper until I work up the nerve to stamp on my project. And as far as placement, it's random...really. In this month's kit you also get a nice assortment of the Gertie brads. And to show them off, I stuck them in the centers of my doilies.

So, I challenge you today ladies to use your stamps. Believe me if I can do it, you can too!! Thanks for stopping by!
