Exciting Karen Foster News!

It's official! I am a new member of the Karen Foster Design Team! I am completely thrilled to be working with some incredibly talented people such as my dear friends Maryfrances Fabbri and Carolyn Lontin.

I was given two lines from Karen Foster's new October 2010 releases to design projects. You can check out all of the October 2010 releases on their Facebook page. You can also see projects from the other designers using the new releases HERE. Such awesome work!

I received the Grandpa and Cancer Survivor lines. Here's what I made:

Thanks for checking out my new projects!

Scrapbook {Express}ions: Gettin' Krafty!

It's challenge day at the Scrapbook {Express}ions blog, and it's all about using kraft. Come play along!

I used three sets of myStampBOX stamps on this layout. I used the a ring from Funky Circles to circle some words on the background paper. I used the arrow from Road Trip to point out the circled text and an important photo. I also used the Mini Alpha set to help journal some of the details about the photos. This might be my most-used set of alphabet stamps from myStampBOX - they are so great!

Come play along at Scrapbook Express. Our monthly prize is a store gift certificate, and who wouldn't want to win that? Happy scrapping!

myStampBOX: Picture This

I have a fun project to share at the myStampBOX blog today. Here's a little peek. Come see!

myStampBOX: Card Inspiration

Fellow myStampBOX design team member Tracey Taylor recently posted this super cute card using products from our partner companies Kiki Art and Helmar. I knew that I needed a birthday card for a little girl we know, so I decided to put my own spin on this card.


I chose a different girl and hot air balloon from the Kiki Art paper and handstamped the greeting using the Lines of Life set of myStampBOX stamps. I loved Tracey's idea of adding stamped clouds to the card to match the background paper, so I decided to add a bit more texture. I adhered white felt to white cardstock and stamped some clouds from Wishing You Sunshine onto the cardstock backing. I handcut the clouds and adhered them to the card front, layering the hot air balloon over the top. I love how this card turned out, and the birthday girl loved it, too. Inspiration is everywhere, just keep your eyes open!
