Cheer Up!

Ever heard that saying, "someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed!"  Well it is true, sometimes it just happens and you can't explain it.  Today I woke up a little crabby but you know what, all is better now 'cause I did a little crafting!!!  The best part is, now I can cheer someone else up too....

Here is my card for this week featuring some Paper Smooches and Avery Elle That Bites stamp set.  Pretty clean and simple for me.  I stamped the swished to represent the water.  I colored this little Angler fish and used a neon gel pen to add the green.  Because you know these guys glow in the deep depths of the sea right?  That is how they attract their prey.  Creepy, but super cool.  

The lesson today is that if you are in a bad mood, sometimes the little things (crafting, receiving a card, spending time with friends and family, laughter) can cheer you up instantly.  Give it a try! 

Thanks for the visit today!  Feel free to visit me on my blog as well- www.kbstamps.blogspot.com.

Happy Trails to You

The current THD Challenge 10 showcases all sorts of maps. And what do you find on maps? Roads! Duh. LOL. I also pulled from the featured colors and really went nuts with the green from the Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Rainbow pad--adore! That green makes the SugarPea Designs Log Cabin Mountainscapes Border and sponged clouds created by using the Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud Borders pop.

You may notice that the camper is actually the reverse image of what's included in the Avery Elle Glamper Camper set. I've tried my hand at mirror image stamping in the past with less than ideal results. Turns out you quickly kiss the inked stamp to another rather than mash it like I had been doing! And what did I use for the mirror image? The giant heart from the Concord & 9th Heart Smile set. I love stretching my stamps! Why don't you give it a try!
