Poppin' By


Sometimes they can go for months, tucked away in the deep depths of the cabinet under the kitchen sink. Brightly colored bottles lined up, standing tall and still...just waiting for the little boys to discover them once again, grab them with their hands and treat them like they are the best thing ever. Yes, bubbles are a staple at our house for those times when no other toy chases the boredom away like a jar of bubbles.



It's been an absolute pleasure to have been a guest design for Fresh Squeezed Stamps this month. These stamps sure are high quality, and fun and trendy to boot! I used Soda-delighted today...


I started with a blank white card base and misted it with spray ink. The spray ink gave me a guide to stamp the little bubbles, as I tried to cover up the biggest blotches of ink, carefully turning the bubbles every so often for a random look. I finished the card with a fun sentiment panel and a little pom pom trim available at May Arts.

Please stop on over to the Fresh Squeezed Blog for more information about this super fun set and pop on by their Facebook Page and say hello to Fresh Squeezed Stamps on their Twitter Page too! Thanks once again for Ryann and the Fresh Squeezed team for inviting me to showcase their amazing stamps this month!

  4. Super fun card! Love the misting technique. When my son was much younger, bubbles were a hit here too. They were especially handy on long drives. When we needed a break, we'd pull over, whip out the bubbles and have a blast blowing them and chasing them.
