Hello Sunshine

April showers....sometimes you just want the sun to come out.  Today is a card from the Fun Stampers Journey Kit of the Month.  This is a cute card and showcases technique of using your stamps to make pattern paper. 
The background paper is made by stamping the same image randomly on the paper with different colors.  I love the way it came out.

Journey Coach Challenge

Today, I want to share a card I made for the challenge at Creative Blooms.  The idea is to create a card using the colors in the color challenge or create a card using the sketch challenge.  I always try to do both in one card to challenge myself.

April ATC Swap

This past Sunday, I had my ATC swap meetup group.  The theme was "Pets we Love".  I currently don't have any pets, so I chose to use the Fun Stampers Journey "Cats and Dogs".  I distressed the edges of the heart with Pomegranate Splash Ink and popped up with foam squares.  I put Journey Glaze on the eyes of the dog.  Enjoy!

Up, Up and Away Make n Take

I was asked to come and do a make 'n take at an event in Orange, CA, for one of my downlines.  This is the card that cased from the Fun Stampers Journey website. (A card that is cased is one that someone has made and you duplicate.  It is considered a compliment when someone does this, as long as you give credit to the original artist.)
Everyone that was able to do the Make 'n Take were impressed with our ink, journey glaze, paper clips and the sequins.
Here are the supplies I used from Fun Stampers Journey (www.funstampersjourney.com/kimlamos)

Yummy and Delicious Play Day

I was able to attend the Yummy and Delicious Tour in Phoenix, Az the last weekend of the month.  I am in love with this new collection.  All you need is cupcakes and glitter!  What more would you want?  If there is a Yummy and Delicious tour in your area, I recommend you go.  It was so much fun.  Find out is there is one near you here https://events.funstampersjourney.com/events
I wanted to present the new collection to my customers, so I held a Yummy and Delicious Play Day at Panera Bread in my local city.  This is the card they got to make:
They were having so much fun playing and getting to hold and touch the new product.  They were very impressed with the new pattern paper, new silk color and the stamp sets!  I can't wait to order their product in June!
To make this card, I used the following: (All Fun Stampers Journey www.funstampersjourney.com/kimlamos

April Design Team Projects

This month's theme was to fussy cut, die cut, or punch.  Here are the projects I created.
For the card, I used an image from Rick St. Dennis titled "Barbette".  I used pattern paper from Echo Park and solid paper from Fun Stampers Journey.  My die cut on this cutie was the Spring Bloom Minis from Fun Stampers Journey.  I colored the image with Copics.
My next project is one I loved making.  The basket was a paper mache basket I picked up at Joann's.  The image I colored with my Copics was from Stitchy Bear titled "3 Amigos".  The pattern paper is from Doodlebug designs.  I chose to fussy cut around these adorable little chicks.
I loved making these projects.  Enjoy!

April Doll Tag

April Showers.......
When I think of April, I think of the saying "April showers bring May flowers".  So here is the doll tag I made for my secret friend for the month of April.
The chick with the umbrella is from Fun Stampers Journey as well as the little paper boat at the bottom.  I made the raindrops by hand using Journey Glaze, also from Fun Stampers Journey.  Enjoy!
