more mama elephant fun!

i'm back! with more mama elephant fun , featuring cards from may's release and i still feel like this has all been a magical dream! :) this time my projects are using the wanderlust stamp set, which is a MUST have for anyone who goes...anywhere! lol! my first project is a layout! and this entire layout was inspired by that totally hip and trendy subway map! i LOVE it!! and though i don't live in NY, it works for anywhere! i also added a that super fun compass (and the arrow really spins!) i can't empasize this enough - i LOVE this stamp set! it's one my absolute favorites (i used 6 of the images on this layout alone!) here's a sneak peak of it! :)

see that compass - the arrow really spins! :)

my next project is a really fun card for my bestie! she does project life and the wanderlust stamp set is PERFECT for project life-type stories! so as part of the card, i made a little insert for her project life album (since she rides her scooter and motorcycle with her fiance i thought it would be a perfect insert for one of their adventures!)! here's that little sneak!

from the bottom of my heart, thank you SO much for the wonderful opportunity to guest design for the may release! it has been a dream come true and a complete adventure with the nicest people, ever!
to see the full projects, be sure to head to the mama elephant blog! :)
enjoy!

mama elephant guest design - squeal!

i am over the moon excited to show off some mama elephant stamps! (i actually had to pinch myself a few times to make sure i wasn't dreaming when i saw i won a guest designer spot!) the stamps are so super trendy, high quality and FUN! honestly, i can't say enough nice things about the stamps (or kryssi!)! my first project features the new sunny skies stamp set! and it's fabulous!! i LOVE all of the images and there are so many possibilities with this stamp set! as soon as i saw it, i fell in love! my first thought was to create this happy, fun and bright shaker card! the background paper was created with the rays from the stamp set and i used my craft knife to cut out along the clouds and add some glitter and sequins!

i made a mini scene for my second card! and sprayed it with some shine to really add to the sunshine-ness of the card! i love the 'happy' that this card gives off! the sunny skies stamp set is just too much fun to play around with!! i LOVE it!

thank you kryssi, and the whole mame elephant team, for letting me guest design and be a part of your family for a month!

Welcome to the Mama Elephant May Design Team blog hop! The May release is now live and available for purchase in the store: www.mamaelephant.com Hopefully you came here from lea's blog, if not, head back to mama elephant and start the hop from the beginning...it's amazing!!!!

To celebrate the new release, Mama Elephant is giving away 3 gift certificates worth $20.00 each to 3 lucky people! Winners will be chosen at random from the collective blogs in the Stampede. Winners will be announced on the mama elephant blog on May 19th.

for my project, i used both sunny skies and wanderlust! (with a dash of midnight letters and a splash of good times, ha ha!)! this layout just captures an everyday moment that i shot of my little menn on their way to school one morning! some of the clouds were popped up for dimension and i added washi tape underneath to make it look like rain, or sun rays, your choice!
