...playing with plaid!

I have a new favorite stamp set! (I say that every other day, I know, but this is my fav for the moment anyway) The set is called Mad for Plaid and it is just so versatile! Wanna see what I did with it?

I love making patterns and playing with color. It is so simple! Just pick a few ink colors. And stamp away. Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy! I will tell you that I used removable sticky notes to cover the part of the card that I wanted to leave "un-patterned." And I also chose one color for each stamp in the examples you see above.

If you are interested in getting a Mad For Plaid stamp set be sure to let me know. This set is on sale now BUT time is running out. You have until July 15th! You can order this set and any other a muse goodies HERE. I'm happy to help you place your order and answer any questions that you may have. You can leave a comment or email me at laralovek@gmail.com.

Have an a*musing day playing with plaid!

...kissing.

Shocking, I know! But really who doesn't love a good smackaroo.

Only, what I was actually talking about in this particular case was kissing stamps. To do this you ink one stamp and then use it as your ink pad for another stamp. Following me? It's lots of fun! I love to get more milage out of the stamps I have. Here's a card I made...with kissing.

...chocolate.

I was so inspired by the video. I was bold enough to say that I was going to post what I made...before I had any idea what I was going to make exactly. And then, I got a little stuck. Finally, I came up with something. I don't think it's quite done. It needs a little something at the top, but I'm not sure what. I loved doing the window! I am going to have to keep this idea in mind and see what else I can come up with .

I love this little chocolate! The red heart twinkle sticker fits perfectly on tip to give it a little sparkle. And the sentiment makes me smile.
