SSNOTIME55***Let's Sing and Stamp with Becky***


Well I am not doing much singin' in this session about Becky but I did do a whole lot of stampin'.
This week our Stamp Simply Challenge is all about our own Becky Oehlers of
Becky's style is always clean, fresh and involves crisp lines, bright colors and always a bit of ribbon.
Becky is a musician and talented vocalist and we could have used something involving music in our creation.. I do not own a thing musical so I decided to use the set that Becky had a hand in creating for Papertrey Ink.. Our Canadian Thanksgiving is in two weeks so I decided to create my place cards for my dinner table with Becky's set. So this is my tribute to her***
For each place card, I cut a 3x3 inch square of cream cardstock, covered one half with the designer paper from Becky's set and added some green grosgrain ribbon. I stamped the acorn parts, the bottom in pumpkin spice versamagic ink and the top in Tea Leaf Green onto cream cardstock and layered them onto green cardstock. I then attached them to the left of the place card leaving room for the names of my family. Becky I apologize for the pic.. Not the best ***
Check out Sharon's site HERE for the details for this week's challenge and welcome our guest stamper for the month, Darlene Pavlick***

Great job with your place cards. I am guessing the names will be on the inside of the card.

That acorn looks huge on the 3x3 cards. We need a big squirrel to eat that one :-)

I am here, busy doing nothing. Have a great weekend.
