Here's a little card I made, just playing around with some things on my desk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I picked up this stamp set from Hero Arts at the art supply store and thought it was fun. I wanted to play with my Gina K wreath builder template and decided that I could do a taco wreath! I mean, why not, right??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here it is - tacos, dancing around in a circle with hearts and sequins. A pretty simple layout, but bright, happy colors to make you smile!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have a crafty day!</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've recently discovered alcohol inks and have been having a great time playing with them and perfecting my technique!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a card that I made using Tim Holtz inks and Metallic Mixatives. I really love the way the inks swirl together to make a one of a kind background.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jQEi_i3QoBc/XN6qvl2AphI/AAAAAAAAOQY/t5ylzd8xO-8tncM88JRtQHOxKEvhuAZ0ACEwYBhgL/s1600/Greyhound.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1245" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jQEi_i3QoBc/XN6qvl2AphI/AAAAAAAAOQY/t5ylzd8xO-8tncM88JRtQHOxKEvhuAZ0ACEwYBhgL/s400/Greyhound.png" width="311" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a simple frame with stitched square dies to highlight my beautiful greyhound from the "Diamond in the Ruff" stamp set from Hero Arts. I used the coordinating die set to cut her out. She is mounted on another die cut piece of black craft foam to give her a good solid support on the frame.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sentiment is part of the same stamp set set and I embossed it in silver metallic powder to match the silver metallic mixatives in the background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I left the embellishments simple, because the background is really my highlight on this card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so happy with how this card turned out and I will probably display it in my craft room as inspiration for a while before I'm able to part with it! Haha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you like it, too! Thanks for stopping by today, I look forward to seeing you again!</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I found this cute stamp set at a local stamp expo and knew I had to get it! I love Sherlock! The stamp is from Katzelkraft Stamps and I colored it with markers. I added the Stampin' Up Large Letters die and a small "you" sentiment that I had on hand.<br />
<br />
I had fun putting this one together and thinking of all the fun crafty time my Bestie and I used to spend together! Can't wait to see her again this summer!<br />
<3 p="">Have an amazing crafty day!</3><br />

Today, I went up to my craft room to put some stuff that I bought away, and decided to play a little bit while I was there! Right now I'm mostly in organization mode, since we moved about a year ago and I'm still putting my "studio" together. Most of my supplies are in storage, so I'm limited with what I have to play with.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: , , , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: , , , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I just got this new Stampin' Up! set and dies from Sale-A-Bration, So Hoppy Together (I love frogs!) . I used Distress Inks for a blended background with the paddle style make-up brushes. I really like how they blend together. I also just got the Lawn Fawn Reversed Scallop Stitched Circle die and love it! I used the Spellbinders Expressions die and stamp set for the sentiments. For the word "friend" I die cut it out of toner paper and ran it through my Minc with green foil. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: , , , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: , , , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I love how this card turned out!</span><br />

Today, I'd love to share a cute ATC that I made for a swap group that I'm in.</div>

I just love coffee stamps and I know that I have way too many of them, but they're so cute and fun!</div>

The one I used for my ATC is from Lawn Fawn</div>

Hello friends!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's nearly the last day of the month and I'm so excited to share with you my September Kit of the Month cards from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/kristysbloominjourney/" target="_blank">Kristy's Bloomin' Journey</a> and <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/96" target="_blank">Fun Stampers Journey</a>!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This month's stamp set was so fun to use and I just love all the great donut stamps! I know this one will come out again to be used in my everyday crafting fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just look at these fun colors and that adorable paper clip!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These stacked up donuts are just adorable! I love masking images, but it's something I don't do very often. I love that the kit of the month always shows a new technique, or reminds me of a technique that I love!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh! I was so distracted by the delicious donuts that I forgot the adorable glass of milk!! How cute is that?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think this one might just be my favorite! I love the colors and I used some glitter glue to create cute sparkley sprinkles for my donut!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This little guy was so much fun to color and I had a great time putting together the papers and embellishments! The card design is a cut from a die that I purchased forever ago and have never used, but I'm glad I did! Now I'll be making more cards like this!</div>

Time now to show you the last fun card in this months kit. This is a smaller card, it's 4"x4" but packed full of cute! All the papers were pre-cut for me and the pierced paper was also pre-done. The orange chevrons were die cut and ready to adhere. The kit included all of the twine, the dots and the mini clothespin, too! All I had to add was a touch of Sweet Pear ink on an acrylic block to create a background effect on the main circle and Journey Glaze that covers the backpack.</div>

This card kit came with the cute patterned paper and pre-cut tags to create the fun background. Also included was the die-cut bow pieces that were ready to put together. I colored the stylish purse with markers and also used my markers to color the included rhinestones orange for a pop of color. I spritzed on some Silver Silk (not included in kit) and viola! All done!</div>

The second card that I did was this one with the fun striped purse. I love the happy orange flower that was included with this kit. The papers, as always were pre-cut for me and the background cardstock was already embossed as well! The only addition I made to this card was a few splatters of Citrus Cooler Silk and Silver Silk (not included in kit).</div>

Aren't those cute? I love these cute bags with their clever sentiments!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, today I will share with you the first card that I put together, and you can check back in a few days to see the next one. I'll post each card throughout the rest of August, so you can read the details about each one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first one I did was this cute multi-colored bag. The kit comes with all the pre-cut papers. The directions led me to add some deeper cuts to the feathers for dimension. The purse, though it looks colored with markers, is actually paper-pieced together! So cute! It's also coated with Journey Glaze and splattered with some Citrus Cooler silk (not provided in the kit). This card was simple to put together and I love the colors!</div>

Hi all! I thought I'd share a few photos from my latest crafting adventure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm participating in an ATC Swap this month and the theme is "Body Parts"... hmm...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I have been wanting this particular Legs stamp set from Dylusions by Dyan Reaveley for a while now and this was the perfect excuse to go ahead and buy it! I got it in the mail today and couldn't wait to ink it up! With the help of my MISTI, I got great dark black images.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The idea in my head was a polaroid photo featuring the body parts. A pack of flowers jumped into my cart at the craft store today, so I already had the colors in mind, that made picking the paper pretty easy. I did start by stamping the legs on plain white cardstock, but thought it looked too bland, so I tried again using patterned paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WrjFFLWMrH4/VZdHA_TX1qI/AAAAAAAANuc/G3Enqhs5IkE/s1600/ATC%2BSwap%2B-%2BBody%2BParts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WrjFFLWMrH4/VZdHA_TX1qI/AAAAAAAANuc/G3Enqhs5IkE/s400/ATC%2BSwap%2B-%2BBody%2BParts.jpg" width="295" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then, I decided that it needed a sentiment down in that blank white corner. So, I stamped up a simple "Wow!" and cut it out to see what it looked like. I liked it, so I actually stamped it directly onto the polaroid frame on each card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then, I decided since I had 8 great leg stamps to choose from that I would use a few of them on the set and mix up the colors a bit. I ended up using 5 different legs.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once all the legs were colored and the layers glued down, I thought they looked great.. but they might be missing a little something. So I added a strip of bling to the top.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And DONE! I'm really thrilled with this set of cards, and I hate to part with them for the swap! But, I'm also excited to see what everyone else came up with for "Body Parts"!</div>

Hi!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are a pair of simply cute cards that I made.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iSlHTEWy96c/VZWL9N0qCVI/AAAAAAAANto/FyI0JF5fL2A/s1600/Rainbow%2BThanks%2B-%2Bboth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iSlHTEWy96c/VZWL9N0qCVI/AAAAAAAANto/FyI0JF5fL2A/s400/Rainbow%2BThanks%2B-%2Bboth.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't think that I've mentioned yet, but I bought the MISTI a few months ago and have been having a great time playing with it! It's about the only way I stamp now! Check it out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For these cards, I used the Work of Art stamp set and created a rainbow chevron design. When you see how the MISTI works, you'll see how easy it is to line designs up like this one! It's perfect every time!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did one in purple...</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
...and another one in red.</div>

Hello Friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just wanted to share a quick card that I made with some new stamps and washi tape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-D5uP6JMwYJc/VZWH6VGQvlI/AAAAAAAANtM/vy0TpUTggtc/s1600/Lightbulb%2BCard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-D5uP6JMwYJc/VZWH6VGQvlI/AAAAAAAANtM/vy0TpUTggtc/s400/Lightbulb%2BCard.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instead of coloring the lightbulb, I used a color swish from the Work of Art stamp set which added a nice glow. Then I added another, longer color swish from the same set. A few fun stars and a touch of washi and viola! I really like how this turned out!</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, my apologies that this post is late, there was a little confusion with the new catalog and new website and Kit of the Month subscriptions, so my kit was a bit late getting to me... but here it is for you to enjoy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month's kit has an extra special fun touch - using your own photos!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How much fun!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are all 4 cards that I've made so far:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Bz2tVd-_9CE/VZWD7oTvtmI/AAAAAAAANsg/AIvieqnvvrw/s1600/KOTM%2BJune%2B2015%2B-%2BAll.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Bz2tVd-_9CE/VZWD7oTvtmI/AAAAAAAANsg/AIvieqnvvrw/s400/KOTM%2BJune%2B2015%2B-%2BAll.jpg" width="342" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first card I did uses a photo that I took on my recent trip to Maui. I absolutely adore the cute sunglass element that was included in the kit!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2i1BE9XT9_U/VZWD7rbtUuI/AAAAAAAANsk/GQSe5zGwoYQ/s1600/KOTM%2BJune%2B2015%2B-%2BCard%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2i1BE9XT9_U/VZWD7rbtUuI/AAAAAAAANsk/GQSe5zGwoYQ/s400/KOTM%2BJune%2B2015%2B-%2BCard%2B1.jpg" width="301" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second card I did uses a photo that I love of my little guy from a month or so ago. He was blowing me kisses over a hot dog at Costco! LOL! Even though the elements that came with the kit were pink, I think they still look great with the photo of my boy! Pink for Love, right?</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-avBc-BwztrE/VZWD7uXEPKI/AAAAAAAANso/jLE0kOhpuLM/s1600/KOTM%2BJune%2B2015%2B-%2BCard%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-avBc-BwztrE/VZWD7uXEPKI/AAAAAAAANso/jLE0kOhpuLM/s400/KOTM%2BJune%2B2015%2B-%2BCard%2B2.jpg" width="290" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This third card doesn't use a photo, but the sentiment is so much fun! The circle piercing was pre-done for me, making this card so easy to put together! This one uses 2 of the new colors of Silk from the new catalog - Pink Bubble Gum and Cool Pool Silk (although, I couldn't order the Cool Pool Silk because it sold out so fast, but I had something close that I used until I get my next order placed.)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i9RPQmKQqPw/VZWD8gDxjbI/AAAAAAAANsw/BUbt9WgWono/s1600/KOTM%2BJune%2B2015%2B-%2BCard%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i9RPQmKQqPw/VZWD8gDxjbI/AAAAAAAANsw/BUbt9WgWono/s400/KOTM%2BJune%2B2015%2B-%2BCard%2B3.jpg" width="325" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's the last card, so glittery and sparkley and fun! Lots of Journey Glaze on this one and I love the great new embossing folder! The embossing and piercing were both pre-done for me!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JyIDgG9Oau4/VZWD9OVBBSI/AAAAAAAANs0/SlC5OpzPzoM/s1600/KOTM%2BJune%2B2015%2B-%2BCard%2B4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JyIDgG9Oau4/VZWD9OVBBSI/AAAAAAAANs0/SlC5OpzPzoM/s400/KOTM%2BJune%2B2015%2B-%2BCard%2B4.jpg" width="283" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had a bit of luck on my side with this one! I had printed it out and taken it with me to a stamping class. I usually have a bit of free time at class, so I thought I could get it colored while there. I colored it all up and brought it home, but I had no idea what papers or sentiment or embellishments that I wanted to use!! The luck comes in when I came across this patterned paper that matched my coloring perfectly! Then, I found the sentiment among my stamps and thought it was perfect! It's a simple layout, but I love how the added black makes the image and sentiment pop and the twine adds a touch of whimsy. I hope you like this card as much as I do!</span></div>

Hi! It's Kit-of-the-Month Time! Yay!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month's Fun Stampers Journey kit from <a href="http://funstampersjourney.com/96" target="_blank">Kristy's Bloomin' Journey</a> features a beautiful flower stamp set that is just a dream to color!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the 4 cards that I made using the supplies provided in the kit and my favorite adhesive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lBrICbg4QJM/VWfTus_jC8I/AAAAAAAANh8/VQpKc4hQnB4/s1600/KOTM%2BMay%2BSet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lBrICbg4QJM/VWfTus_jC8I/AAAAAAAANh8/VQpKc4hQnB4/s400/KOTM%2BMay%2BSet.jpg" width="377" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the first card, I used Bronze Silk from Fun Stampers Journey instead of gold, because well... I don't have gold - yet. :) I love the simplicity of this card!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MxU5DI2yNKs/VWfTsgCZUeI/AAAAAAAANhg/oi8JjxLDbjA/s1600/KOTM%2BMay%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MxU5DI2yNKs/VWfTsgCZUeI/AAAAAAAANhg/oi8JjxLDbjA/s400/KOTM%2BMay%2B1.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This second card, I only partially colored the flowers, because I was looking for a more watercolored effect. Well, I didn't quite get that effect, but I like how it turned out! I added a mat of black cardstock from my stash to this one, just to give a bit of a frame around the white focal image.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-le-ZwgtxVKw/VWfTs2y1kkI/AAAAAAAANhk/tgMzDIfH77A/s1600/KOTM%2BMay%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-le-ZwgtxVKw/VWfTs2y1kkI/AAAAAAAANhk/tgMzDIfH77A/s400/KOTM%2BMay%2B2.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This one turned out beautifully, I think! Again, bronze silk instead of gold. I might have gotten a little too happy with the Confetti Sparkle on the flowers, but I love the way they shimmer in the light!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HvxecVwvqSs/VWfTs_PVZMI/AAAAAAAANho/a2odnA_oe58/s1600/KOTM%2BMay%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="302" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HvxecVwvqSs/VWfTs_PVZMI/AAAAAAAANho/a2odnA_oe58/s400/KOTM%2BMay%2B3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the fourth card, I was a little more careful with the Confetti Sparkle! Again, I just colored bits of the flowers, I thought it might be a bit overpowering if I colored them completely. For this one, I added a gold shimmer spray that I had in my stash.. I need to get some Gold Silk from Fun Stampers Journey soon, though!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sfZqvrI3bxA/VWfTuYwdHLI/AAAAAAAANh4/A4HdmQY03Vs/s1600/KOTM%2BMay%2B4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sfZqvrI3bxA/VWfTuYwdHLI/AAAAAAAANh4/A4HdmQY03Vs/s400/KOTM%2BMay%2B4.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I was driving home from my daughters softball practice tonight, I had an idea for another card I want to make with this stamp set... now I just need to find the time to do it and hope that the idea in my head translates to the real thing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi all!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the cards that I've created using this months Kit from Fun Stampers Journey. I am really enjoying these kits and I look forward to receiving the new one every month!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month's kit features a couple of super cute kiddos ready to go splashing in some puddles! There are also stamps for a fluffy cloud and a bundle of raindrops which are perfect for those us living in rainy Washington State! The sentiments are wonderful as well! "Hello Sunshine" adding a sunny lining to the rainy clouds and the "You are my sunshine when skies are gray" fits the stamps just right!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the 4 cards that I made using the detailed instructions that came with all of the precut papers and embellishments.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the first card that I made from the kit. I love the backgrounds that are created with the included stamps. The sentiment is fun and colorful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3G81D6WyH1M/VUEp-RsHmrI/AAAAAAAANeQ/4_KTqzJWNMU/s1600/April%2BKOTM%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3G81D6WyH1M/VUEp-RsHmrI/AAAAAAAANeQ/4_KTqzJWNMU/s1600/April%2BKOTM%2B3.jpg" height="400" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second card uses such bright, happy colors! I also love the sequin "raindrops" dancing around the sweet girls umbrella.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ci-RGwKtves/VUEp-nEH5NI/AAAAAAAANeU/lVR8Vfcbf0Q/s1600/April%2BKOTM%2B4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ci-RGwKtves/VUEp-nEH5NI/AAAAAAAANeU/lVR8Vfcbf0Q/s1600/April%2BKOTM%2B4.jpg" height="313" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The third card has such a fun design, it just makes me smile! All of those falling umbrellas and the sweet sentiment are sure to cheer anyone up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sc1GNktjgXI/VUErf8nQSsI/AAAAAAAANe8/ijSGpV2ZEhU/s1600/April%2BKOTM%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sc1GNktjgXI/VUErf8nQSsI/AAAAAAAANe8/ijSGpV2ZEhU/s1600/April%2BKOTM%2B1.jpg" height="400" width="387" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This last card features the sweet boy stamp, ready to float his boat in a big puddle. This one has a great layout that adds a fun and sassy feel to the funky colors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-61I8kYrwHC0/VUErgMtrXGI/AAAAAAAANfA/DLAcKlJgE7U/s1600/April%2BKOTM%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-61I8kYrwHC0/VUErgMtrXGI/AAAAAAAANfA/DLAcKlJgE7U/s1600/April%2BKOTM%2B2.jpg" height="400" width="302" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love how each of these cards turned out. Even though they are following the directions included in the kit, they still feel like cards made by me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi there!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a cute little card that I made using the new MFT stamps that I ordered last month. I really, really love stamps that have coordinating dies!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the cute <a href="http://mftstamps.com/clear-stamps/birdie-brown-stamps/bb-you-make-my-tail-wag" target="_blank">Birdie Brown - You Make My Tail Wag</a> stamp set! There are so many cute doggies to choose from and all of their adorable accessories, too! I chose to use the hydrant of course, because it goes so well with the sentiment. I added glaze to the hydrant, and to my cute puppies nose, as well. I used the <a href="http://mftstamps.com/die-namics-stitched-speech-bubble-edges" target="_blank">Stitched Speech Bubble</a> die set to create my sentiment. The papers all came from my stash of paper and I used my Blendabilities to color my doggie.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've never entered a <a href="http://www.cardchallenges.com/search/label/colorchallenge" target="_blank">My Favorite Things</a> color challenge before, but since I just ordered a bunch of new stamps and dies and stencils... I thought I should play along! Not to mention, I've got an ever-growing wish list, so a prize from them would be amazing! ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a card that I made for their current color challenge:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
