August Excitement

I am so excited to announce that I have been chosen August Guest Designer for Stampotique Stamps. If you follow my blog, you already know that I love to stamp with Stampotique stamps. I think they are a lot of fun and inspire creativity.
Here is my first card as guest designer. I decided to create it with the current challenge SDC 35 in mind which is red, yellow, orange. I love the Keepsake Kids and I thought that they would look great sitting on one of the little shrooms. The background is done using the collaged circles from the new Technique Junkee newsletter. The circles are cut from orange, red print, and red and yellow plaid paper. I added my own touch by adding gold spray webbing. I'm looking forward to a month of "Good Things, Good Thoughts."
Check out the Stampotique Designers Challenge Blog and play along with the challenge. The Stampotique Designers blog is filled with lots of inspiration created by the talented design team. Of course, I must mention the wonderful Stampotique Stamps website.

WAY TO GO!!!Congratulations! Way back when Stampotique sponsored our first Altered Alice challenge Carol told me she had her eye on you, LOL! Fantastic take on the challenge, you know how I LOVE those shroom stamps and adding the vintage photo-style kids sitting atop is whimsical and charming, I love it.
