Far Out...It's Your Birthday

Wow, it has been really hot here today! We took Kip's dad out for dinner tonight and made a quick run to Target, and that was it for us being out today. This set I have made here is a birthday gift for someone like me who was born in the 70s. I started the Hippy Hanna and then stamped and colored her with Copic and Prisma markers. My dad's sister is actually closer to my age than to his and she was teen-ager in the 70s and I was the pesky little kid that followed her everywhere. I remember watching her get ready to go on dates and out with her friends. She had some of these multi colored jeans! I also remember her having jacked and jeans with those fuzzy iron on patches. To create that look here, I used Liquid Applique on her jeans. That is the only tie-dyed paper I have been able to find anywhere and I love it! You can see the outside of the card says "Far Out", and the inside that you can't see says "It's Your Birthday".

I decided to make this little treasure box full of '70s memories. The box is an A2 card size box that I stamped with Versamagic inks and then added some foam stickers that I got from the girls' collage box.
Inside the box are things that I remember enjoying from my childhood in the 70s; Chicklets chewing gum, Pop-Rocks, Dr. Pepper flavored Lip Smackers, a ring pop, candy necklaces, a Mad-Libs game, some smiley face stickers, and this cool keychain that I made using the accessories from the Hippy Hanna set stamped onto Shrinky Dink film. Thanks for visiting. This is my last entry for the Hanna Stamps Guest DTS call. I don't envy whoever is judging that, there are some fantastic entries. Have a great night!!

Ballet Sophie

This is the new Sophie G Moose stamp from Hanna Stamps. I saw barrettes made with this stamp by Judy on her blog. Samantha saw them too and fell in love. She promptly requested a set of her own but colored in yellow. I stamped the image with Brilliance ink onto Shrinky Dink paper and colored it in with Prisma markers. Judy made hers with matching color of the barrette, but I went to two different stores and all either had was gold and silver. I was too tired to go to another store so I decided they would look good on the silver! After backing the Shrinky Dinks I attached it to the barrette with E600 glue. My camera just does not take good pictures up close. I took about 20 pictures, trying to get a good clear image of these and this was the best that I could get. They are quite a bit cuter in person. I have mentioned to "Santa" that I would really, really like a new camera for Christmas. I have looked at a couple and am taking suggestions if you have any recommendations. I want one with a good zoom, takes good, clear close-ups, clear action shots and preferably with the feature that will take bursts of pictures with one click. I would love to hear what any of you use. Later!
