...beach towel, check, Summer Fun, you betcha!  Welcome Teen Scene Summer Fun Beach Time Betty!  She's our newest image from Simply B Stamps and she is too cute!  I absolutely love her!

She looks like I feel sometimes, running in so many different directions I leave a trail of items behind!  We have one more image to share with you tomorrow for our blog hop.  I do hope you will come back to look and hop along.  We've really had a fun time with this release and I almost hate to see it end tomorrow.  Of course, that means you will be able to buy all these awesome images so I guess that's a good thing!  Don't forget to check out the other creation on the SBS blog.  Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you back here tomorrow!

Hugs,

Munsters love the beach too!

Just ask Beach Time Lola and Chris Munster, they'll tell you its true!  Aren't they adorable?  Yes, I know I usually have more color or layers or embellishments and I do apologize for the simpleness of my card but it has just been one of those weeks.  When your mojo goes to the beach (I'm sure that's where it went!) and leaves you hanging, well, that's when you get simple!

These are two of the newest images from the Simply B Stamps Summer Fun collection.  Simple or not, they are great!  Be sure to check out what the rest of the design team has put together for you on our blog.

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you back here soon!

Happy Scrappy Day!  That's right, we're celebrating National Scrapbooking Day at Stampendous!  Working at Enchanted Cottage, one of the largest rubber stamping and scrapbooking stores in the southeast, I hear customers say that they scrapbook but they don't stamp.  I'm sure I must look at these people as if they are aliens when I hear that.  Why not stamp on your scrapbook pages?  To begin with, stamps are a whole lot more economical than stickers.  How many times can you use that sticker?  Once.  Now, how many times can you use that stamp?  Only a gazillion!  Here's a cute little example of just how easy it is to use stamps on your pages.

All the images on this page are stamped and colored with Copic markers.  Which debunks another myth!  Who says you can't color with Copic markers on textured Bazzill?  We won't go there right now.  Let's get back to stamping!  This is a simple page with a very basic layout but the paper and stamped images all complement each other.  I've also added a little embossing powder for sand which gives it just a touch of texture.  I hope you like my page and I really hope it inspires you to get your stamps out and ink up those scrapbook pages with something besides a journaling pen!

Products used:

Stampendous Cling Changito Surfer Stamp

Stampendous Cling Changito Pool Party Stamp

Stampendous Cling Jumbo Tropical Garden Stamp Set

Stampendous Golden Sand Embossing Powder

Bazzill Paper
Fancy Pants Designs Summer Soul 6 x 6" Paper Pad
Copic Markers
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad

Instructions:

• Cut photo mat patterned papers to size and determine where you are going to adhere them
• Stamp each Changito image and color with Copic markers
• Stamp plumeria flower image four times to create a border on top and bottom of page and color
• Adhere photo mat patterned papers
• Using VersaMark pen, add ink where you want to add embossing powder to create "sand"
• Add embossing powder over VersaMark ink and heat emboss

There you go!  A cute page created with paper and STAMPS!  Happy scrapbooking!

Hugs,
Lea
