I'm very excited to be joining the Topflight Stamps birthday hop! I have three creations to share for the celebration. The first one is a Polaroid Pop using AALL & Create "Party with Me" stamp set. The background uses AALL & Create stencil "Enchanted Garden" with Distress Ink in Squeezed Lemonade.

The image was colored with Copic Markers.

The next creation is a sweet birthday card using stamps from L'encre called "Something to Celebrate". There are a lot of sweet images in this stamp set, and I used the bunny and box of balloons. The images are colored with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. The background uses a stencil called "Lotza Starz" by AALL & Create with Distress Ink Spun Sugar.

The Celebrate sentiment is stamped with Creative Expressions "Stylish Script" set and I heat embossed it with Wow! Embossing Powder in Brassy Twinkle.

My last project is a funky and colorful art journal page! Some of the background on the page is an old mop up page that was already in my journal. 

I added to the background using Paper Artsy stencil PS271 with Distress Ink Kitsch Flamingo and AALL & Create Digits Checked with Paper Artsy paint in Cerulean.

The main stamp images from from Art by Marlene "Birthday Bash" stamp set. I loosely painted them using Paper Artsy Fresco Paints in Bougainvillea, Zesty Zing, and Bubble Gum. I splattered the page with Lavinia Mists in Kingfisher.

I also added some simple paper collaging. The paper is from Art by Marlene and I cut out some shapes and patterns that matched the colors of the page.

Thanks for joining me! Topflight Stamps is also hosting a sale during the hop. Happy shopping!

  Hello everyone! I hope you all had a beautiful Christmas Day, if you celebrate. Today I'm here to help you jump ahead one week and ring in the New Year!

This is very much a clean and simple card that was very quick to throw together. I used fun stamps from Chou and Flowers "Cheers" stamp set. I colored each image with Copics and fussy cut. I adhered the images directly onto my card base and stamped the cute and tiny sentiment "party time" in Onyx Black ink. Easy Peasy!

Happy New Year!
