This week over at
Frosted Designs our challenge is "Background Stamping". Have you seen those really cool Donna Downey stamps that were just released at CHA? Well, I had the "tree" on order and on it's way. So when I got here, I was so excited to use it for this challenge. Which is probably why I was really not thrilled with my layouts. Too high expectations? I mean, they're ok and all, just not what I had pictured in my head. So here they are... and I'll be trying that stamp again soon.
Up in the branches: Stamped with Stampin Up Vanilla Kraft Ink. PP is Sassafras Lass.
Jungle Love: I stamped & cut out another tree on different paper, and used it as a mask (covering this tree) and then stamped a big "word" stamp on the background. I had it in my head to use an old book on this layout, so I did that too. PP is Sassafras Lass (again, I guess that's what I had out the day I did these)
I know what you mean about the high expectations. I hate waiting for something I think I'll die without and then the big let down.
ReplyDeleteAt any rate, I adore your layouts, as always, you put heart and soul into them!

Joni... I don't know what you are talking about... I love both of these LOs!! I think it is cool that you used the same stamp, and yet had two totally different outcomes!! These rock!
