Creative Explosion: Day 5


Ok I am here!  Sorry for the late post!  Today is the last day for Britta and I, and our Creative Explosion week! {sniffle, sniffle} It has been such a fun week and I have loved seeing our cards together using all of these amazing stamps! 

For out last day we are using a shaped card!  Britta chose this shape and I cut it out with my Cricut!  Check out Brit's post HERE and she has the shape available for download!
So here is today's card....

I used some new Hero Arts stamps that I got last week!  Britta has really inspired me with all of her Hero Arts creations!  I got this one at a scrapbook store in Wichita!  I love this image because I know it can be used for a CAS card or you can really put a lot of detail work into it too!  I stamped this image with Ripe Avocado and then embossed it with clear Filigree powder!

The background is a PTI IP!  I didn't want to overpower the main image so I thought this text impression was just perfect!

I really appreciate you all coming by today!  I know I have made some new blog friends and I am so thankful for you comments and your time!  I appreciate everyone of you! 

Britta, thank you so much for inviting me on for this week of blogging!  I had a blast and am so glad to have had the chance to get to know you!  You are so creative and SO much fun!!  Can wait till we do this again!

Here is a list of this weeks links, if you would like to go back and see!

Day 1-Hero Arts
Day 2-PTI
Day 3-Lawn Fawn
Day 4-Paper Smooches
Day 5-Shaped Card

Don't forget to stop over at Britta's blog and leave her some love too!  She has an amazing shaped card today that is full of polka dot goodness!  :)

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!  OH and for those of you who asked...I got my clothes all tagged for the consignment sale!  I had way too many things but finally stopped at 166 items...clothes, shoes, coats, Halloween costumes!  I took it last night and volunteered at the sale!  Now it will be open to the public for the next 2 days!  It is so nice to consign because then I can sell my kids old clothes and take that money and go buy more for them!  They are growing way to fast!!

OK!  Have a great day!!
