Get Ready for National Stamping Month!

That's right!  There IS such a thing, lol!!!  And I can't think of a better way to celebrate than a special My Acrylix set from Close to My Heart.  This is a Double D set (ok, go ahead and giggle, I did too!) set with a retail value of $35.90--BUT you can get it for JUST $5 with a $35 purchase from August 15th through the end of September!  Here it is:



 I know, you are thinking, "NO WAY!!!"  Well, YES WAY, it is true!!!  Here is my tribute to this amazing set of stamps that is perfect for scrappin'.  I combined the specials from National Scrapbook Month (Dotty For You paper pack) and National Stamping Month (It's Your Day My Acrylix Stamps) to make this crazy-fun layout:


Sorry for the glare.  I don't know if you can tell, but the swimsuit she is wearing in this one has chevrons on it!  Now tell me that it wasn't begging to be in a layout!





These dots are so much fun to add as a background.  I think the 'love this' arrow is going to get quite a bit of use out of me!


This circle is just the right size for a 1.25" circle punch!


I added this bit of twine after the fact--what do you think?  Twine or no twine?   Either way, I just HAD to make these fun letters with the dots on them from the Art Philosophy cartridge, then I popped them up with foam tape to add some dimension.


 I think I am addicted to tags for a journalling box as much as I love matting my photos now!  ;)


Remember, this special starts WEDNESDAY, August 15th (tomorrow!)  :)

  1. Super cute layout...love this stamp set! I like the baker's twine on the letters. The letters look like chipboard the way you popped them up.

  4. Amie, you did an amazing job on the layouts. How fun that your daughter's swimsuit matches the pattern in the paper. And I LOVE the polka dot letters. I hadn't even noticed the "Love this" arrow but it will be the first stamp I use. :)

    1. Isn't it a coincidence! That arrow was THE first stamp I wanted to use. ;) Thanks so much Dana!
