Bubble Wrap Background

When I joined Fun Stampers Journey, I really had no expectations other than getting some new craft supplied at a discounted price.  I wanted some new ink pads and I can always use glue and other basic supplies so even if I never made it past my first quarter I could kitnap.  And FSJ has a hobbyist option that is only $50 - what did I have to loose?  Nothing, that's what.  

 What I got was so much more than a bunch of new ink pads!  My love of paper crafting is back in a big way.  I'm so enthused about this company, its products and its founder and president Richard Garay (RG)  His enthusiasm is contagious, his products are innovative and he is so generous with his time and talent.  If you are on FaceBook, check out his page RGSignature, where he often pops on to go live and share a project.  These cards came from his share last Friday night, where he demonstrated how to create this background using the amazing FSJ Silks and the bubble wrap that protects some of the items in any given FSJ order.  I just LOVED what he shared and was inspired to create these.

I am so grateful to this company for giving me back my love of creating. 

Make Lemonade

This set (SS-0372) caught my eye the very first time I looked through an FSJ Inspiration Book so imagine my delight when I saw it on the Collection Jubilee Promotion, meaning I could get it for 30% off the original price.  The matching Washi tape can be colored but I really liked it just the way it was.  Harder to see is the beautiful new Sparkle Silk that I used to highlight parts of the strip,  That little bottle of loveliness is going to get it's own post very soon.  The 30% off promo ends on April 30th. 

April Bloom Box

How many of you have littlies (or not so littlies) who love dinosaurs?  Then the April Bloom Box needs to be on your wish list!  Look at all the cuteness - not to mention the googly eyes...  

And if you need more inspiration, RG is always the man to provide it. Check out the video, then head to my website to order!

Inspired by..

I have so many stampers I admire, who inspire me with their creations and their willingness to share. This card was inspired by this post by Jennifer McGuire, a lady I've never met, but one who has "inspired" me to spend lots of crafty dollars over the years.  As soon as I saw it,  I thought of this set - 'To You (SS-0083) by Fun Stampers Journey.  And of course, it needed a few splashes of silk to finish it off.  As I type this, I have several more on order...

Addicted to CAS - Challenge #108 - SMILE!

I had some time this weekend to join in with a few challenges.  The key word this week is "SMILE"  and was inspired by the glorious Florida sunshine which always makes me smile this early in the year, before the heat and humidity sets in.  And can we all agree that very little says smile more than yellow polka dot cardstock?   A happy combination of Fun Stampers Journey and AMuse Studio products on display in my entry the Addicted To CAS challenge
