DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge: Beach Boys & Loads of Love

Today's DOstampingSTARS Stamp That Tune Thursday Challenge (#SSC055) is the BEACH BOYS!  It's summertime and what says summer better than the Beach Boys.  Check out one of their popular tunes on YouTube to get you in the mood.

 

We've been receiving questions about some of our challenges and what we're looking for.  The answer is...just have fun!  Really - whatever your interpretation of the inspiration photo is - that's what we're looking for.  For instance, for this week's challenge you can take inspiration from lots of different things:

1.  the Beach Boys themselves

2.  the Song Link

3.  the beach theme

4.  the yellow car

5.  the surf board

6.  the ocean

7.  the color scheme

Only your imagination is the limit!  We'd love to have you share your creations.  Make a card and leave a comment here with a link to it on your blog or online gallery!  Have fun!!

For my card, I took inspiration from the car and used Stampin' Up!'s Loads of Love & Accessories stamp sets.  Oh my...it's been ages since this stamp set has touched an inkpad.  It was fun using it and reminded me of when I first had to have it.  I'm glad it's still available for purchase in the new catalog too!!

Saying Goodbye to Stampin' Up!'s A Flower for All Seasons

I feel like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, when she's says to Scarecrow, that she'll miss him most of all.  That's how I feel about the stamp set, A Flower For All Seasons.  It really is a must-have stamp set.
