Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!
Welcome July and the summer fun has begun! I know I'll be spending more time in the garden. We've gotten lots of rain lately so the weeds have flourished so the first task is taking care of that. With the end of the school year, I can now spend more time with the grand kids, not just a couple of hours on the weekends. We have a couple of fun day trips planned, definitely a few beach days mixed in.
Onto my card for this week's Krafty Chicks Challenge : Stamp Act. As long as something is stamped, be it an image or a sentiment, it qualifies for the Stamp Act challenge.
This was a fun card to create. As part of the Throwback Thursday theme, I got to use up some itty bitty scraps that I know we all have in our stash. I'm such a hoarder of DSP too so this a great way to use it up. I'll definitely be using this layout again.
Here's a close up of the sheep. Ain't he cute?? He's from last year's SAB (Sale-A-Bration) freebie. He has two other friends that he can play with. And there were dies that coordinating with this stamp set. The gate or fence in the background and the balloon are part of the die set, along with a sun, a party hat, a couple of clouds, and a pennant flag.

I just noticed that I didn't take a pic of the inside of the card. But you know that I like to keep it and the envelope CAS, Clean And Simple. For the inside, I'm just using up more scrap DSP, nothing else.
