DOstamping VIP Members received this project sheet PDF a couple of weeks ago in their bi-weekly newsletter, along with 3 other projects!  In each VIP newsletter, I share 4-6 ideas for your inspiration. How can you receive project inspiration?  Two ways...

1. When you Shop With Me, you'll be added to the list!  (NOTE:  be sure you allow your demonstrator to contact you when you create your account.  If you don't, then I won't have access to your contact information and I won't be able to send you catalogs, thank you's or add you to my VIP Member list)  
2. When you Join My Team, you'll receive the same inspiration via our STARS private blog.  That's right - you won't miss a thing! (plus 2 free stamps when you join during June!)

I just had to laugh about today's card.  It's actually one of my favorite layouts.  I've used it before for classes and swaps, and it looks like it's become a favorite of others as well.  How do I know?  Well, take a look at what I received from fellow demonstrator, Jolene Harms.  I had to chuckle when I received it.  Great minds think alike!

I love it...of course I would!

Blog Challenge Green: How about a Frog!

My DOstamperSTARS are having some creative challenges going on and one of them is to make a card using the color GREEN.  My first thought was of frogs.  So below is a card I did at one of my Getting Punchy Classes last summer that was a HUGE hit!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dawns Stamping Tips
Eyes:  Use 1/2" White & 1/4" Black, layered on Small Oval (retired).  Then 3/4" green circles are layered behind the eyes and the small oval
Word Bubble:  Use the Wide Oval punch and the "Sliver Technique" to get the "hook" for the Word Bubble.
Mouth:  Draw with black marker

Supplies used:  Full of Life (111500), Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise cardstock, Basic Black cardstock, ink & marker, Big Shot & Top Note Die, Gold Brads, Stampin' Dimensionals.  For punches, see recipe card

Enjoy~Dawn O
