A few months back, Dawn Gehring, the editor of Crafts 'n Things, asked if I wanted to play in a challenge for the magazine. The challenge, was to use a postcard (Avery perforated for your ink jet printer) and stamp it up! Well, first of all, the cards are fun because they are meant for printer ink and so -- they take your stamping ink -- perfectly!!!
So, this is what I cooked up!
I love that stamp set! It's called Build-A-Tree from Impression Obsession. You can essentially build your own tree with leaves, flowers, apples.... too cute!!! The sentiment on the front is from the Flourishes - Flourished Words set.This is the back side....
And again, all the printing was just done on my home computer! If you want to learn more about how I put it all together and what inks I used etc. check out the June issue of Crafts 'n Things! I have a couple other projects in there too!
Hope your week is off and running with a great start! I'll see you back here soon!

This is sure cute, but does the ever so grown up Miss Elizabeth realize she has new BABY announcements floating around in the creative world? Sorry you missed a GREAT lunch on Saturday. The food and atmosphere were fine, but it was the company that was awesome. Congrats on being craftily published, Ms. Magazine Editor! I miss the Rubber Stamper and seeing you in there.
