My Old Stamping Grounds

The older I get, the more confident I feel in who I am. I worry SO MUCH LESS about fitting in than when I was a teenager. This card embodies what I hope we can all learn to appreciate about ourselves--being unique and standing out is what makes this world a beautiful place! This card uses the TaDa Mouse , Brush Strokes and Born To Stand Out stamps from Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda . As you can see in the following photo tutorial, only the upper portion of the full mouse stamp can be seen.  There's still a few days left in January for you to upload a Bright & Cheerful s tamped creation to the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity . It's your chance to get creative and maybe even win a prize!

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a lovely holiday season and are getting ready to do all the things you love in 2025. One thing I LOVE is creating art with stamps. Lost Coast Designs is hosting a fun Bright & Cheerful theme challenge for January. Here's a card I created using the STP Hairbow stamp from the Lost Coast Designs catalogue , and the You Matter sentiment from Carmen's Veranda .  There are so many fun sentiments in the Carmen's Veranda sentiment page! This one made me laugh--my husband majored in Physics so I can appreciatea little science humor. Follow along with these photos to see how I made this card: It's still early in the month so there's PLENTY of time to create your own Bright & Cheerful stamped card to submit to the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity . Post your entry by the last day of January for your chance to win a prize!
