Today the Waltzingmouse Stamps Design Team is having their monthly blog waltz. If you're waltzing along, you should have arrived here from Lynn's blog. I'm the last stop on the waltz, so if you just happened to stop by, head over to the Waltzingmouse Blog for the start of the waltz.
Normally this is release day, but since last month was such a large release, Claire is holding off releasing any new stamps this month. July, though, will be full of *wonderful* sets (trust me!). So this month, the Design Team is doing sort of a retrospective using stamps from previous releases.
I decided to create my card with the first stamp set I ever purchased from WMS. As soon as I saw it, I was hooked. It is still one of my favorite sets!
And its never too early for Halloween cards! This, my dears, is Halloween Party. And as soon as you start to use it, you'll be coming up with all sorts of creepy, spooky ideas!The orange background was stamped with the plaid stamp from Off Beat Backgrounds. The witch and bats were stamped and cut out. I layered a purple glittered cardstock strip onto some die cut scallops. Doesn't it make you want to break out your Halloween stamps? I sure do!
As usual, prizes are also up for grabs for two lucky commenters! One winner will be randomly chosen from the comments left on one of the Design Team Members' blogs, the other will be chosen from the comments left on the Waltzingmouse Stamps blog. So let us know what you think!I also want to send a quick shout out to Carly, who shared the great tip to use a wooden cutting board in your photo tent. I am always looking for ways to improve my photos, and I thought this was a great idea - thank you Carly!
Have a great day, friends!
