FS720 - This weeks incredible featured stamper is Leslie Springer aka lesliespringer. She has an amazing gallery full of inspiration. I found this super cute CARD USEIT2020 - Arrows When I saw the boat I immediately thought of this cute new boat from DRS Designs. I stamped this boat and then masked it. I then stamped the calendar behind it and the Happy Retirement sentiment. Next I colored the image and added a red box and a number. I finished with some stickles to the water and the wood arrows. The base is white pigment ink through a wave stencil. Happy Retirement

WT820 - tags - gift tags for Christmas or any other tag idea

USEIT2020 - While going through my tote of items I am trying to use up this year I came across all of these die cut papers and they were too small for a full size card so I added them to this tag and added dimensionals.

CC819 - Pool Party, Poppy Parade & Shaded Spruce

USEIT2020 - Tree

This image was on my table to be used and I just needed to add the pool party to the card to meet today's colors. I found this already done wax resist and added it to the card. Additionally I needed to use up this die cut tree from my tote of items so I added it and put it on dimensionals. Since the card base I had was less than 4.25 x 5.5 I was able to use the image and have it hang over the top of the card.

Recently I have been going through my stack of stamped images trying to get them colored and on cards. I pulled out all the Christmas images and started with those first so I can use them for my cards this year. My goal for 2021 will be to get those images colored and work toward getting them used up.
