Flying by to say hi

Hi Everyone!

I've been playing around with a little challenge that I gave to myself.  My "flying by to say hi" stamp from Lawn Fawn's "Flying By" clear stamp set has been sitting on my desk and I decided to use it to create a variety of cards.  I looked through my stamp collection and pulled out the ones that had an image of something that can fly.

A while ago Teri Anderson shared a card on her blog that used Lawn Fawn's paper airplane from her "Flying By" clear stamp set.  She used handwriting paper as the layering paper for her card and I thought that was brilliant...and told her so.  While I was looking through some of My Mind's Eye 6" x 6" paper pads, I discovered some card size handwriting paper in one of them.  I stamped my paper airplanes onto it and fussy cut them.  Here's the card.

I decided to create a card with birds flying on it and Lawn Fawn had exactly what I wanted in her "Gnome Sweet Gnome" clear stamp set.  The grass, bird bath, and birds on my card are from that set.

PaperTrey Ink has the image for a hot air balloon in their "Everyday Button Bits" clear stamp set.  I used that image on my next card.

My sweet friend Janet gave me a set of Memory Box cloud dies.  I used them on some of my "Flying by" cards including this next one.  I don't have a kite stamp in my stash, but I found a paper piecing pattern for one on the Scrapbooks, ETC. site. 

I learned how to stiffen my baker's twine while I was watching a video from an online class.   I dipped the twine in Glossy Accents. 

That's all I am going to share today, but I do have other "flying by" cards to share with you tomorrow. 

It's finally going to be a good sleeping night...NO HUMIDITY!

Talk to you tomorrow!
