I was KISSING this weekend! ;)

♥Smooch, Smooch!♥

Indeed there was some kissing going on in my craft room 

this weekend - with my stamps! 

  

I'm blessed to be part of a wonderful group on SCS called

 The Calendar Girls ~

Hi! I'm Miss February! *wink*!

Our hostess for this month, Barb,a most generous +

and beautiful lady, gave us an interesting challenge this month.

We were to go to SCS's Technique Forum and pick a technique with the

 #0 or 1 in it and create based on that technique. 

So I picked #01 - kissing, a basic usage of several inks stamped onto one image at the same time and leaving behind a printed collage of color.

I chose a Fall related image from my stamps (unlike most of my posts,

this one has seen ink before but it's perfect for this time of year!)

I used SU! inks in Close to Cocoa, Daffodil Delight and Really Rust

and I left the image untouched to show the colors of the inks.

To keep the 'rustic' look of the image, I paired it with Fall papers

and matching buttons in Autumn colors.

And since I read - too late - that it could not be a card

{oops!  Sorry, Barb!}, I added the image to a removable

bookmark/tag!  It's held on by just a wee bit of

removable sticky tape to easily mark the pages of a favorite book :)

I used this sketch from Clean+Simple stamping #264 

and I'll enter this into their challenge.

Be sure to stop on over and see what the other Calendar Girls 

created with this wonderful technique challenge.  You can find their

blogs listed in my sidebar :)

Happy Crafting to all of you! 

It was good to be back in the Cabana again ~

I managed to make 3 cards in 1 day! 

Given that my norm is 1 card in 3 weeks, that's pretty good! :)

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
