SAF 2015 - Patterns Challenge

I am participating in the Papertrey Ink Stamp A Faire today and the first challenge was a wedding card. While I love making an all white card, I am of the age where my friends aren't getting married anymore and I think the last wedding I went to was about 6 years ago.  

So instead, I decided to do this Patterns Challenge to make a boy Birthday card because one thing I always need with the kids is birthday cards.  Her is the gorgeous pattern by Lexi Daly (thanks for such a great pattern Lexi!).  I love the clean styling.

Here is my version of the card.  

I used my favorite boy stamp set from Papertreyink.

I paired it with bright patterned paper since the stamps are all black.  Hope you like it and thanks for peeking! 

Back to School with C.C. Designs

So its back to school next week for my Preschooler.  I made this card for his teacher using the adorable Pollycraft schoolboy stamp.  

Pollycraft is made by C.C. Designs and you can find it at 7 Kids College Fund store.  I used paper by Lawn Fawn called Sweater Weather.  I stamped the sentiment using white ink onto an actual little tiny blackboard that I had been saving to use.  

I am entering in the 7 Kids College challenge #133 which is Anything Goes with a Twist of Back to School.  Thanks for peeking.
