Good morning,
today I will show you two cards I made over the past days.
The first one is my first ever creation with a TGF stamp. I love this little Dress-up-Ian. But I couldn't figure out what to do with him. SO I added some skulls and bones and the "you rock" stamp from Inkadinkado's "RockStar" set. With a lot of imagination you could think that Ian is dreaming about being a star ... okay, you may need a lot of imagination! =)
Sorry for the blurry photo - I took it before 10 o'clock and the sun was okay so far but suddenly the light was so bright and I had to finish this. I promise better photos in the future, okay?
The second card is my submission for our monthly Sisterhood-card-swap. Catherine aka PaperAddict is hosting the month of June and her theme is to create something to honor your country (Catherine, I hope I repeated it correctly). Well, due to the fact that I don't have any german related stamps nor did I have any idea for a german card (hey, that is really difficult when you are living here in the States and you don't have ANY german stamps) I made THIS card.
I have the impression that something is missing but I can't say what it is. So I'll leave it how it is. When I saw the stamp from Our Daily Bread Design (I was on their website to search for a stamp set for my Secret Sister ***) I fell in love with the "I pledge Allegiance". Our youngest boy is an american guy so I think I will use it a lot for scrapbooking. But it was also perfect for Catherine's theme. So I pulled out that sriped paper and stamped starts on it. The most difficult part for me was the sewing - I tried it the first time on paper! I'm not able to sew a straight line but I think for this "vintage" layout it is okay.
Thanks for stopping by - wish y'all a wonderful weekend
Hugs Tanja
