Stamp-Tastic!

i'm the type of person who LOVES an insane schedule (the busier the better!) and i always plan loads of fun summer long activities/projects/plans and map out a Summer Reading List (i loved the library reading challenges as a kid) which i plan to post about seperately- soon. i decided i wanted this summer to be a Stamp-a-Palooza for me. i'm not the type who hoards acrylic stamps. someone who buys endless $1 bin sets and doesn't know what to do with them, i'm quite level headed when it comes to them. i just want to use them MORE. i have *5* Sassafras Lass acrylic sets on the way, as well as gorgeous sets from Love Elsie, Dear Lizzy, Studio Calico, Anna Griffin, etc i want to play around with. i'm really looking forward to getting my mitts on some of the fun, wild & bright American Crafts INK and ZING! and just playing all summer long! :)

Just 11 Days- The Pink Ninjas

that is baby me :) One of my 2010 Scrapbook Goals was to begin working on the mountain of photos from my own childhood. When i saw that prompt #36 at The Pink Ninjas was "dream a little" i knew i wanted to use this picture of little me. this challenge, like all the others, was super fun: pronpt- dream, technique- no PP, pink twist buttons.
i tell you what, the "no PP" part turned out to be more of a challenge than i thought, i kept trying to pair all the great pastels with beautiful soft, baby girl PP and then i would remember ;)

- yellow CS is Bazzill Swiss Dot

- green & pink CS is Bazzill Basics

- purple CS is Cricut/provocraft

- pink letters are "Cupid" Thickers

- green letters are October Afternoon Very Merry Mini Market

- kraft is Scenic Route

- glitter buttons are Dear Lizzy
