I'm back to announce some extremely exciting and fabulous news!  I can finally announce that I'm now officially a Stamper's Dream designer!!  Dream Team???  Me???  I can't even express into words how excited I am to work with these amazing stampers, so THANK YOU Michelle for the amazing invitation!  I hope to make you proud!

In honor of all this fun I'm having, I made this little Pirate Boy card - Arrrgghhh!!  haha!  The day it arrived in my mailbox, my oldest daughter grabbed it out of my hand and inked it up.  Can you say, a tad bit excited?  I guess she has a thing for pirates.  After tackling her down and grabbing it back, (oh, sooo kidding), I hand stamped the background with the little anchor and X marks the spot stamps.  The pirate is stamped on Neenah Classic Solar White cardstock and colored in with Copic markers.  I just had to use some really cute Old World patterned paper from Kaiser Craft and I used Mojo Monday's MOJO140 for the sketch.

Thanks for coming on by again - see you back soon!
Karen
