Hi everyone!
I want to say thanks for all the beading tip, links and emails. I still have so many to sort though-but thank you too, in advance. I purchased the hearts for my keychains (in prev. post) at A.C. Moore. As for the beading stuff…..WOW! Am I ever OVERWHELMED! LOL!!! I’m sure Ill sort through everything and figure it out…..eventually! So much to know. I guess that is how most people feel when they start stamping. I don’t remember feeling that, but I have heard so many others say that when I’ve been at the craft store, or at a stamping event. Maybe I will take a class at my local bead store! I like learning new things.
I have been SOOOOOO busy my head is spinning. The stress FINALLY caught up with me and gave me a 2 day migraine. NICE. I decided that I can’t let stress rule my life, so I got off the couch and down to my stamp cave 😀 Once I got stamping my migraine suddenly vanished!! Maybe it was my long computers hours that were KILLING my brain! I actually came up with a FAB project-I’m in LOVE! But, I am saving it for my PTI newsletter 😀 I think you will agree its worth the wait.
On a side note MANY emails asked IF and WHEN I would update my Etsy Shop! Yes, I have stuff from here for like the last 3 months! I’ve just been busy and need to take a few days of REST! Plus I like to ship ASAP so I need to make sure I’m free to pack and ship in a timely manner. I have a lot going on here (behind the scenes) and its just been GO! GO! GO! I will let you all know when I actually get stuff listed.
Anyway……I needed to just play for the day, so I reached for my UBER cute Greeting Farm Girl-Miss Anya
I have had this set for longer than I care to admit. It was time to ink’er up
I LOVE this unusual color combo with this image. You see typically I would go all GIRLY with my colors, but I went with this combo instead. Again, I needed and change.
Spring Rain, Enchanted Evening, and Pure Poppy-with touches of Smokey Shadow. Very cool.
I created my sidewalk —> check out my “how to” video for that, and used an OLD A Muse candy shop image as a store. I KNOW the store is tiny, and my “idea” was to have it be in the distance…….but now it just looks like a tiny store! LOL! OH WELL! Win some, lose some! I still loved the card.
Its kind of Sailor Girl isn’t it?
I used the sentiment “Its all about style” from Birthday Wishes Borders & Centers Set 2-3/8″ ! I loved the sentiment and the font.
Now, get this-for my project the curve of the size it us suppose to be was too big……………so…………… I took the rounded image and put it in their smaller round block ,of course it didn’t REALLY fit the whole thing, so I just made sure the part I wanted was locked in, and inked up! Then stamped it. I then punched it out with my circle punch. Now I can’t recall what size it was!( Sorry! I Told you-migraine!! )But I loved that it worked.
SO that is all for me tonight.
Thank you for stopping by

This is just a darling card. The bright colors and that cute girlie just makes you smile. Take time out to rest …never worth sacrificing health. smiles
really pretty card and i though the store was meant to be like that—I thought it was all together in one stamp, sidewalk and all! lol
Lauren….I love it! The store image and all…it looks great!
Absolutely love this card, glad my daughter clued me into your blog. I can’t wait to see what else you create. TFS, Mary
Totally cute Lauren. Sorry to hear about the migraine. I sure can sympathize. I’ve been dealing with those for 3 weeks now.
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!!! I know you are super busy all hte time, but you need to take are of you!
Love the card sheis cute!!
Cute card Lauren! I ordered the All Around Town template yesterday. So versitile. As I was decorating it, the shape reminded me of the old time headstones. (R.I.P.) Would be so cute for Halloween! I am a fan of your templates and have purchased all of them!!!!
You fessed up too quick, girl. I, like the 2nd commentor, thought it was all one stamp (girl, sidewalk, store), and I think it looks fab. You had an image in your head that you saw first, so you might think it looks “off,” but it doesn’t to the rest of us! Great Card, and I just LOVE the use of the very simple two strips of pp (for we petty scrap savers!) If I’d have done that, I could never have pulled it off, but now I can use yours as a sketch and give it a whirl! As always, thanx for the share!!
Love your Anja card…terrific color combination and, hey, I think the little store is perfect in this darling card!!! Hope your headaches are gone and you’re feeling great! Thanks for all the cool ideas, Lauren. You rock!!!
The card is really cute…and don’t worry about the store looking tiny. It looks like she is across the street from the store and is ready to continue shopping in another store.:-)
