Hello! I thought I would post the entries I just submitted for the first monthly assignment for Just Johanna Rubber Stamp Design Team. This was so fun! I'm going to post them in the order I created them and you can see, along with me, how I evolved in this process. I found it very interesting and am totally looking forward to the next assignment to see what happens!!!
Card 1:
With this one I used Just Johanna's "No Reason at All" and "Swirly Background" rubber stamps. I am addicted to the Swirly Background stamp and had trouble not using it on every card. :-)
Card 2:
I used Just Johanna's "Peacock Crown" rubber stamp.
Card 3: I used the "Eiffel Tower," "Chicklet Left," and "Tres Chick" rubber stamps.
Card 4: This one I used "'Candace Right" and "Heart Shadow" stamps.
Card 5: This is a reproduction of the card I made for my friend Heidi's birthday. It just turned out so nice I wanted to use it for my Design Team assignment!!! The stamps I used are "Banner Frame" and "Simone Left."
Card 6: Then this one I went bonkers with the stamps and used ""Swirly Background," "Branch Right," "A Little Bird Told Me," and "Jolie Right."
I will have to post my non-card project later. I'm having TONS of grief at this moment with trying to post any more pictures! GRRRRRR! I was typing merrily along and my computer froze up! Thank GOODNESS I heeded some recent advice and saved as a draft all along the way so I didn't lose too much!
So which card do you like best? Let me know...I'm very curious!
Hope you have a good 5th of July!
Happy 5th!!! Hope the 4th was spectacular in every way!!! I LOVE all these cards/stamps, etc., but am partial to card #5! Lots of love from Mom!

I'm the WRONG person to ask to make a choice but I must say I love the peacocks with the "believe" msg. And yes, I DO recognize the design from Aunty H's tin. Sounds like your computer was just overwhelmed by all your creativity. Nice to hear an lesson learned of mine is still doing some good, haha.

I like your "believe" card and your "thank you" card the best---they're all very fun tho~!

OK, well....my fav is the Thank You card. I really love that stamp and the way you used it. I got TONS of grief on the 4th trying to post a bunch of pictures. I thought it was Blogger but you are using typepad so who knows. Love all the cards.

Michelle, your cards are wonderful. I love your style! You can never have too many stamps on a card. Well done!

I love them all!! My favorite is the Birthday card, but I like the last one too, where you used a lot of stamps, and white ink (or embossing?)
