Pocketful of Sunshine

Well I can’t believe it has been 2 weeks since our vacation and I haven’t posted once. I have been busy since I got home. It was time to prepare for my August Stamp Camp. I hadn’t stamped for two weeks and when you are used to stamping all the time two weeks seems like forever. Maybe it was just because I enjoyed my vacation so much. I spent one day working and the rest was all play. It was a great time with my daughter and son-in-law.

So today was my Lincoln Stamp Camp. If you follow me you know that I have two Stamp Camps a month. We had a very enjoyable and relaxing morning stamping. It was amazingly calm and quiet for a class of over 40 women!

In all fairness to the gals who have registered for the Sunrise class I cannot show you the cards we did at Lincoln Stamp Camp until after the Sunrise one this weekend. Next week I will have all those for you to see so instead I will show you one that I did for my Club this month.

POCKET FULL OF SUNSHINE
This card reminds me of when I was a teen. This would have been the jeans I would have worn. Something with lace and rhinestones on the pocket and my favorite flower, a daisy, in my back pocket as I was off to have fun. The sunglasses would have been something I found because we never had them as a kid. Or they would have been sunglasses for one of the kids I was babysitting. I did my share of that for fifty cents an hour.

Start with the Whisper White 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, score @ 4 1/4
Stamp 2 daisies on the 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 Whisper Whites using Pool Party ink
Stamp the glasses on the 2 x 4 Real Red with Basic Black
Stamp the pocket on the 3 x 4 Pool Party with Basic Black (fussy cut) I did not use the dies because of the edge on the dies.
Stamp the left edge of the 1 x 3 1/2 with the dotted line in Basic Black and the greeting in Pool Party. Cut the right edge to a flag.
On the 5 1/4 x 4″ pool party I stamped with VersaMark and the pocket stamp. I started on the sides and made them about 1/4″ apart in the middle. You will see the pattern as you stamp the bottom and top. The VersaMark just gives a very subtle image.

I hope you have enjoyed this card today. It is fun and easy and a little flirty.
