Your Next Stamp After Release Party

 Hey peeps!  So how did you enjoy the blog hop for Your Next Stamp?  Some really great sets for you to fall in love with.  Well, I'm not done showing you more cards for inspiration to fill your shopping cart over at Your Next Stamp. For my first card I'm using the Barn Yard Love set.  Isn't this little farmer just the cutest?!?! I used MME On The Bright Side and SU paper for this project.  Of course she was colored with my Copic Markers and I used chalk to make the clouds.

My next card is featuring the Sit Back and Relax set.  Oh I wish I could live in this card.  LOL  This set is so relaxing to me and makes me want to head straight to the beach.  I used watercolor paper and SU ink to color my image.  It matched perfectly with Echo Park Paradise Beach paper.  The background paper is Bazzill and I used my EK punch to add an accent strip down the side of my card.

So glad you had the chance to swing back my today.  Now head on over to Your Next Stamp and fill up a cart with all the new dies and images from this release.  You will be glad you did.

Hugs and love!

YNS Summer Fun Friday

Hey peeps.  TGIF!!  Time for another Fun Friday at YNS.   But, first I have had one heck of a week.  My hubby and I am during a home project and making a covered porch over our back patio to get ready for the summer.  Well clumsy me ended up getting smacked in the head by a piece of wood.  After a few days of thinking it was nothing I ended up at the ER with a concussion.  REALLY!?!?  I'm not about to slow down now.   I have too much on my plate to get done this month.

So I'm bringing in a little sunshine to my life and card today.  This adorable image called Sun-Sational from Your Next Stamp is available for immediate purchase. Come join in on the fun on this Fun Friday.  Take a moment to enjoy the sunshine.  Head on over to YNS and get to shopping.

Yourt Next Stamp - Fun Friday Inspiration

Well peeps how did you like the new release from Your Next Stamp?  Groovy right?!?!  Well I'm not done.  Here is another adorable image released this month.  This is Groovy Cute Fhiona getting down to Play that Funky Music White Boy!!! Come on now, I know you are now singing the song in your head.  Play that funky music riiiighhhtt!! Play that funky music white boy. Lay down and bugging and play that funky music till you die.  LOL  Just in case you want to get that feeling back I'll add the lyric right after my post. Fhiona is grooving your way right across my card. 



Here is the matching sentiment set for Fhiona.

And here is the large Peace Sign to match as well.   

 Now tell me again why you are not grooving in your seat right now.  I hope you enjoyed your visit today and as promised here are the lyrics.

Hey, do it now
Yeah, hey

Hey, Once I was a funky singer playin' in a Rock and Roll Band
I never had no problems, yeah
Burnin' down one night stands
And everything around me, yeah
Got to stop to feelin' so low And I decided quickly (Yes I did)
To disco down and check out the show
Yeah, they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die
Oh ya, ya

I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish (How could I)
To not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting
Well, loosing every step of the way
I said, I must go back there (I got to go back)
And check to see if things still the same
Yeah they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, ya
Till you die

(Gonna play that electified funky music, yeah)

(Hey, wait a minute)
Now first it wasn't easy
Changin' Rock and Roll and minds and things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
But now its so much better (it's so much better)
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feelin' (no I won't)
Of how I learned my lesson that day
When they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die
Oh' till you die

They shouted play that funky music
(Play that funky music)
Play that funky music
(You Gotta keep on playin' funky music)
Play that funky music
(Play that funky music)
Play that funky music
(Come and take you higher, ya)
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right, ya
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right

 

Peace love and happiness~
