Map It! Monday

Happy Monday Stampers!  Whew!  We've certainly had a heat wave around here.  Of course we should have all expected it...it's been fair week.  Rock Island County Fair was going on all week and it either rains or is so hot you can barely stand it.  Even so, we took the grandkids to the fair on kids day, Wednesday to ride rides, play games and of course they had to have their funnel cake.  It was also nice to see my oldest grandson's 4-H projects for the first time this year.  He is in the same 4-H club that I was in taught by the same leader, my Aunt Joyce.  She has been the leader for over 40 years now.

Well I guess it's on to this week's Map It! Monday challenge.  I love this Designer Series Paper and I don't get to use it often enough so, I thought it would be a good choice for today.  The challenge is to use a piece of scrapbook paper for the focal point of your design.  Then use a simple stamp for some embellishing if you wish or just a sentiment.  I did use buttons for the centers of the flower and also the oval scallop punch and the oval punch.  I stamped-off to make nearly transparent birds all over the paper.


Remember to use what you have and take a picture so I can feature you as a "guest designer" next week!  Until then...

Happy Stamping!

Map It! Monday

Hello Stampers!  I apologize for the delay in posting.  I have taken the last couple of weeks off.  Busy planning for my Annual New Catalog Bash and Customer Appreciation open house this Saturday.  I'm so excited to see everyone and show off some new Stampin' Up! toys!  On to the Map It! Monday challenge.  I designed this challenge using the new In Colors.  Aren't they just gorgeous?


Okay, let's see what you come up with using this layout.  Don't forget to send me a photo so I can feature you next week as a guest designer.

Happy Stamping!
