It's a Pirate's Life for Me!

Shiver me timbers!  These two mateys are not finding the buried treasure very fast....so will take a tea time break...  This is sort of the all pirate direction I took with this latest Craft Roulette challenge.  The parameters were pretty straight forward, and this really should have could have would have gone in an obvious way towards an Alice In Wonderland theme....  But NOOOOO... I was wanting to explore other less obvious options... 

So...when parameter 2, Tea Party Colors popped up....  I was actually thinking Boston Tea Party which lead me to... > Pirate Tea Parties > my pirate sets, I have 4 that I know of (2 coordinating sets inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean)(the 2 plus another from Scrappy Boy, the remaining set is a retired set from Stamping Up!) Since I am trying to speed my designing process up, and not overthink....when I gathered my stamp sets...the first one that jumped out me was the Cute Girls/Kids Pirates set, I noticed the stripes on their t-shirts (Parameter #4 was "stripes")... and ran with it.

Parameter 1 was easy:  A2 size card... #3 Parameter was "House Pet"...of course, the ever popular parrot!

Welcome to the Jungle!

Oh how fun it was go make this little ole recipe card for my ongoing memdex cookbook box!  (I really don't know what to call it, I just know it's been fun creating the recipe cards)  I knew I wanted to use these Kindred sets for awhile for a banana bread recipe I've made probably 100 times or more over the years.  So, how happy I was to have 4 parameters fall into place.

Prior to my jungle recipe card....(looking at it, I'm still enjoying the process for this one...even the tedious fussy cutting to the line...you have to have really small scissors for that, really good eyes (or glasses), and a fairly steady hand...  my (below) Jeannie card...I kept margin on it...  I prefer cutting to the line, and leaving zero white space, but....  the margin look is growing on me, and I think for Jeannie it worked for me....so....I may start doing it more and more.  I'm still a fussy cutter, and not much of a matching stamp and die set crafter...although I am tempted...I just know I'd rather spend that $ on an extra stamp set...I might cave though, you never know... that fussy cutting can be tedious!!!!!  

Scrappy Boy Stamps sets used

NEWS ALERT!!!  I found a new company I just placed my first order with.  I was very late to the party, as I see so many familiar names submitting adorable cards and other used from this company on the company facebook group.  A couple of sets were a pre-order, so it may be a couple of weeks before I get to play, as I'm sure my order won't ship until they come in.  Anyhow...be on the lookout for some really fun images for my designs!  

As always, info is on my facebook page...  I encourage new followers, and am trying to stay active there...with links and everything.  I am not affiliated with any company, just a loyal fan.
