Panda Squared

  

I just LOVE Sale-A-Bration!!!   I definitely would have bought this Party Panda stamp set if it was available for purchase, but it's only available as a FREE item during Sale-A-Bration, with a $50 purchase.  And who doesn't love free stuff, especially when it's adorable free stuff. 

  I thought I'd play along with the sketch challenge at Sunday Stamps, and square up these little fellas.  I used Smoky Slate for the panda on the squares, stamped twice, and Memento Tuxedo Black for the oval panda, stamped twice, for a nice stark contrast between the two shades.   The square pandas almost look like there's a layer of vellum over them.  

I found this layout worked very nicely for me and I'll add it to my favorites for future use.

Magical Wizard

I haven't posted anything since mid-summer.  Relocated, down-sized, crammed an entire craft room into a closet.   There's nothing magical about it.  I did work on a few small projects over the past months, but time was short and nothing got posted.  So here we are in a new year, and the best way to get back on track -- make a New Year's Resolution!  Hah!  We all know how those turn out.  Well, at least I'm off to a good start... here's Project #1 for 2018.  

This cute card I made while playing around with a few new products.  Sale-A-Bration has kicked off and the Occasions Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration Catalogues are now available and you will want to get your hands on both!  And of course, during Sale-A-Bration, for every $50 you spend (from Annual Catalogue and/or Occasions Catalogue) you get one FREE item from the SAB Catalogue.  Spend $100 and you pick TWO FREE items.  Spend $150, pick THREE FREE items, and so on.  

I used the Magical Day stamp set and Magical Mates Framelits dies.  If your name is Magical Margie, you know you're buying the entire Myths & Magic Suite!  😉
