Just For Fun: Neighborhood of Simplicity

 

Some sweet stamping friends of mine, Alli, Carole, Julie, Michele and Lori, invited me to play along in their Just For Fun monthly challenge they do.  This month Lori chose this sweet Neighborhood of Simplicity stamp by Unity and Michele chose the cute paper by My Mind's Eye (Bloom & Grow-Eye Candy).  Those are the only parameters -- use this stamp and paper and make something . . . lots of fun!  Thanks for letting me play along this month, girls -- I totally enjoyed it!!

The neighborhood was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with these Copic markers:

 

This image was so much fun to color!  It's matted with SU's Taken with Teal cardstock.  I punched the edges of the patterned paper with Fiskar's Threading Water punch and matted it with Stampin' Up's Ruby cardstock.  Papertrey Ink's Paper Tray sentiment, Hero Arts flower & button on a 5" square card.

 

I used this week's CPS #108 for the layout.  Gotta keep it short and sweet today -- I'm off to play with some wonderful stamping friends!  Thanks again for inviting me to participate in today's JFF challenge, girls!
