One of my resolutions this year is to ACT on the inspiration I feel when visiting all of the wonderful blogs out there. I can spend hours reading, learning, contemplating, and *cough*cough*shoppping*cough* instead of actually CREATING. So, starting the new year off right with my friend Mel!
We both LOVE Jen McGuire's blog. A few months ago she paired up with a few other bloggers and they each made different projects using the same stamp set. It was very cool! So, Mel and I decided that we would use the Hero Arts music background stamp that she so generously gifted me. Thank you Mel :)
Without further ado, here are 3 things I've made *so far* with this versatile cling stamp!!
I started off simple with my new favorite color combo - kraft and black! I cut these stars out on my cricut at 2.5 inches and stamped/inked in black. These will make quick and easy embellishments on my next project!
When I was at my local Michaels, I found this "just a note" wood block stamp in the $1 bin! I knew it would be a perfect pair with the background. I embossed the music stamp in white on red cardstock. I adhered a piece of coordinating red satin ribbon on a white strip (that I punched with my threading water border punch). Last, I stamped the "just a note" in the same color ink and mounted on red and I was good to go!
I really like how it turned out, so much that I made a matching set of 3. I think my purple is my favorite ;)
Lastly, I made a premade 12x12 layout {another resolution}. I was inspired by my new-to-me Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge. This little rocker is so cute! I cut him at 5" with cardstock and silver glitter paper from DCWV. I downloaded and cut the "guitar hero" font with my Sure Cuts a Lot program. The music note background was the perfect touch!
Thanks so much for stopping by. I just noticed I have 200 followers! What a way to ring in the new year :) Here's to many more accomplishments in 2011!
Be sure to hop over to Mel's blog to see the fabulous projects she made with the same stamp!!

I SO love it! Your projects are adorable. I like the stars, so versatile and cute. The cards you made are gorgeous, and I think that layout is just fabulous. Love how you paired the stamp with Guitar Hero. I never would've thought of that! Yay! This was so much fun. We should do it again!
Awesome job girl!! You and Mel both did some fabulous things with this stamp. And how sweet is she to gift it to you?? ;)
