Here's my very first stamp, along with some Project Life journal cards that I made with it....
I used "Moo Carve" and I really like it. It's rubbery, like one of those white erasers. It's also super thick so it's easy to hang onto when stamping.We are on lesson three already, and each one gets progressively more involved. I will share more soon!
and now, on to Project Life Week 4! It was a busy week, full of social events, activities and projects.
I tried something new this week - I worked on my layout a little each day. I LOVED doing it that way, and plan to continue! It made it much easier for me! At the end of the week, I just added some finishing touches and I was done - yeayyy!
Here's how the layout turned out (click on image to see it larger)...

Special things to note: I included a copy of a beautiful ATC that my sister Renee made for me awhile ago. I love it so much I keep it displayed in my scraproom; and it was a perfect fit to honor Martin Luther King day. I also included a post-it note from Michael that was waiting for me when I returned from my Scrap Retreat! (I asked his permission first tho - thanks sweetheart!) I also included one of my new heart-stamped cards, along with the advertisement for Julie's class. The pink quote is a free printable.Closeup of right side...
Things to note here: I copied a Netflix envelope to back the photo of the series I am watching (Damages - love it!). The black and white building is a postcard from a place I went for lunch this week. I also LOVE that Michael agreed to write the journaling for the 21st - yeayyy! The black and white tape is 7 Gypsies paper tape - one of my go-to styles. The green tongue photo is my fave of the week! HA. Michael sent it to me via iphone, along with the photo of the fun-dip he was enjoying at work. :0)So, that's it for this week! Thanks for visiting and I will see you again soon!
Just wanted you to know I just finished Julie's 30 Days in Your Journal (I started it at Christmas time) ... and all because of your posts! It was the BEST class I have ever taken! And I have taken a LOT of classes! I didn't sign up for her stamping because I carve stamps already, but I will be watching to see what stamps you do. See if I do need to take it!
