Just Playing Around

After my Stamp Camps, I always leave the big table up for a few days to have more room to stamp on. Didn't get a lot of time to do so this time around, but I did do a few things.

Nuts About You (Plan to do this one at my Oct. Stamp Camp)

Cutest Halloween Bundle

Made these for a Halloween Party for my Scarlet Sophisticate group.

August Stamp Camp

My first Stamp Camp since the pandemic started. Unfortunately Carmen had a conflict and was unable to come, but still had a decent turnout, Just 2 people, but considering some are still not socializing and 1 had a conflict, I was happy with that. I had so much going on I didn't have time to prep, so I made up cards when they got there (had them in my mind, just hadn't put them to paper yet. Two were inspired by cards I saw online and I changed them up just a tad to make them my own. Margarethe made some additional cads using some items I had already cut out of the Penguin Playmates DSP (SAB item).

Bonnye (my 9 y.o. granddtr.) played photographer and took all the pictures of the cards for me. She made her cards after everyone left. I did do the background for the Halloween card for her, but she did the rest. She is really getting good.

My card

My card. I had precut the stockings and the cat and dog and already had the brick background ready for them and the brown square for fireplace and a strip for mantle (hidden by holly). This was only thing I had prepped. I didn't get mine made until after they left and decided it needed a little something and then I decided to add the holly and bow. Wish I'd thought of it earlier for them.

I had this one in my mind, but I couldn't find the DSP. Margarethe found it when they were here, so I thru this together (also inspired by one I saw online), but changed it up a tad. I cut out the shapes once found, while they worked on something else.
