Designing with Papertrey

Hello and welcome back for Day 2 of Papertrey Ink's 6th Anniversary activities. Today is about the stamp designers. (Seriously, can't believe I am one of them!) And also about winning one of six custom stamp sets. With your own name on them. WOW! Can I enter? That seems like a FANTASTIC set. Good luck to all who give it a go.

If you go to Nichole's blog today, you'll see a download for images from all of the stamp designers. I've got a little flamingo image. Create a card using one of them and upload to Nichole's blog for a chance to win. Easy as that.

I went ahead and created a fun, over-the-top card with my little feathered friend. I enlarged her a bit. She's a bit sassy, wearing her necklace and sunglasses--thinking she's all that and a bag of chips.  I paired her up with an oh-so-appropriate sentiment from Friends-Til-the-End and Silhouette Cameo cut palm leaves in Limeade Ice Bitty Dot and Simply Chartreuse Polka Dot Patterned Paper. Everything is mounted on Berry Sorbet Gingham.

I honestly can't describe myself as an artist, or illustrator, or graphic designer. I'm just a girl having fun and creating products that I want to work with. That's especially true this month with what I have coming up. Can't wait for you to see! I'm inspired by my kids, my family, and filling a few holes in my personal collection. I hope you enjoy what I've done so far with Party Poppers and Background Basics: Striped Sweater and I'm looking forward to showing you more of what is rattling around in my brain over the next year and beyond.

Thanks for stopping by. And thanks to Papertrey for giving me such an incredible opportunity. I'd have never imagined this is what I would be doing career-wise back in college when I was milking cows, candling eggs, and chasing sheep around a pasture. What a strange trip it's been, aye?
