March My Pink Stamper's Design Team Post

OK, so this month our challenge is to do a scrapbook page.  This is truly a challenge for me.  You all can look through my blog to see how many lay outs I have previously done.  NONE!!!  I have made a 12x12 frame once, but that was it.  Then to add stamps to a lay out!!?  Robyn makes everything look so easy!!
So I made this layout using a picture of my kids that my mom had.  I loved the black & white photo set on the brown tone card stock.  This pic is about 6yrs old (4 & 8 - now 10 & 14).  When I saw this pic & was going through my MPS Stamps, I found the perfect sentiment stamp for this pic in the More Faithful Sayings Set.  (It's hard to get pics of my kids actually looking like they love each other - LOL)

Since I don't scrapbook I painted & distressed a 12x12 canvas & adhered my lay out to the canvas.  It was funny b/c my mom didn't want me to take her photo.  She wanted to keep it in the frame that she had it in.  When I showed her the finished project she asked if she could keep it.  LOL - that was my plan all along!!!
Closeup of pic & stamp:

The following pics are closeups of the flowers with a characteristic that we want to instill in our children.  All of these characteristics also came from the More Faithful Sayings Stamp Set.
True:  We want to instill truth & always want our children to be true.



 Knowledge:  We want to instill the knowledge of right & wrong & of course for them to embrace the opportunities for education that they have.

 Grateful:  We always want them to grateful & appreciative for everything that they have.

 Integrity:  We want them to have all of the moral & ethical principles that they should have to be honest & sincere.

 Humble:  We always want our kids to be humble in everything they do.

Details:
The polka dotted scalloped oval in the background is from the Imagine stock images & colored with the Imagine More Cart.
Flowers are from the Accent Essential Cart.
I tore & distressed all of the edges.  I used distress inks & gold paint.
For the canvas, I painted it with brown paint.  I used Crackle medium then painted with antique white paint.  I then used several colors of distress ink, walnut stains, brown paint, antique white paint, & gold paint.

This month our challenge was to make any type of project that was Spring Themed & to use any of Robyn's stamps (new or old).  Well to me nothing says Spring more than Easter.  So I made this tag to use on an Easter present.
I just love the patterns on the Nursery Tails Cart and I just fell in love with these butterflies & dragonfly.

Details:
Imagine
Nursery Tails for everything:  Tag (pg. 22), Pattern (pg. 36), butterflies & dragonfly (pg. 21)
I inked all of the pieces with distress in.  I also used distress in for the stamp.
I added Frosted Lace Stickles to the bodies of the butterflies & dragonfly.
I love dimension, so I cut the butterflies & dragonfly twice.  I layered then adhering nly the bodies, leaving the wings to fly.
Stamp:  My Pink Stamper's Happiest Moments Set.
