Girls Like Dinosaurs Too!

Close to my Heart created this video showcasing one of my FAVORITE stamp sets! ROAR! on page 89 of our new Spring/Summer catalog! My boys loved dinosaurs so I guess that is why I love this set! But this video shows you how you can make it be a little more girl friendly.

So I got out this set and recreated these layouts. This first layout is of our son Grant. He had the perfect shirt on for this layout! I love how that works! The colors I used is pear, pacifica, sunset and desert sand. How fun is this layout!

Then I made the girl layout. SO FUN! I went into past pictures and found the ALMOST perfect picture for this layout. My sister in law made dinosaurs for my son and niece for Christmas one year. And her dinosaur was pink and purple! How perfect...but the only picture I had of her she was in the background with her face turned. OH NO! LOL So I guess I will have to leave this blank until some day I have a granddaughter! LOL

I just love the versatility of STAMPS! All you have to do is have different color ink and the possibilities are endless! Today I challenge you to get out your stamps and create something with more of a boy theme and then a girl theme. You will soon see how versatile stamping really is!

Different Uses for your Stamps

I love the versatility of stamps! You don't have to use the WHOLE stamp...maybe just part of it. You can turn the stamp to get different parts of the image...and this is just what this You Tube video that Close to my Heart made shows us. So sit back, relax and watch this video on how to make your stamps work extra hard for you!

After you watch it, go to your stamp collection and see what you have and create something new!
