A Very Sad Day in Patriots Nation!!


I have to say that today is a very sad day in Patriots Nation! The loss today seemed particularly bad because they looked so flat. There didn't seem to be anyone on the field in a Patriots uniform that looked excited to be out there playing!! I am hoping that the two weeks they have will help them regroup and get ready for the rest of the season!!

Okay onto stamping stuff! I am excited about sharing a few of the great punch cards we did at class last week.


They were lots of fun and I hope you enjoy them too! This one with the owl is the first one we did as it seemed like the most difficult. We used the scallop punch to create the body and wings. The rounded tab punch was used for the head and assorted circle punches to make the wide eyes! The background is stamped in Basic Brown using the leafy branch from Embrace Life and coloring the leaves with an Old Olive marker.

So you have probably seen "Frankie" everywhere by now. I am not sure where he started but he is just so cute!! We used a Gable Green card base and Lovely Lilac for his hair. The 1 3/8" circle punch was used to make the circles (that were cut in half) that were used to make his nose and eyelids. We used that same circle punch for the whites of his eyes and then the 1" circle for the pupils. A Basic Black marker was used to add his mouth and scars!
I guess these will have to do for today as it is time to figure out dinner!
Happy Stamping!
