New blog series: Sunday Comics #1! ♥

Hi friends! 

Squeeeeee!!

Today's the day!

 I'm super excited for today's post because it's finally launch day

 for my new blog series:  The Sunday Comics!

You may have seen this graphic I made for my Instagram page :)

Each Sunday in the month of May,

I'll be bringing some of the Sunday funnies to life through cards!

Growing up as a child, one of my favorite things to do

on Sunday after church was to read the Sunday paper with my dad.

Normally, he would pour through the pages of the news

and he would hand me the treasured comic section :)

There was something so exciting about reading the jokes,

seeing the bright pops of color amidst the black and white newspaper,

and finding my favorites to see what they were up to that week.

Flash forward, I'm absolutely giddy at the idea of remaking

the Sunday funnies (comics)

with a variety of different stamps/companies that are in my collection!

Each card will be different and one of a kind 
and based on the idea behind the Sunday comic section :)

AND the best part!!

At the end of this weekly series (last week in May),

I will randomly draw one winner for a *giveaway!*

(see details at the end of this post ↓)

First up, of course, it's Peanuts!
It's no secret that I'm a HUGE Snoopy fan 
and some of my most treasured stamps are Charlie Brown and the gang :)

 For this card, I started with a large base - 
quite possibly the longest card I've ever made!
It's 10" x 3.5" and needed to be large enough to create a storyboard.
I used 3 different Peanuts stamps and arranged them in an order
to tell a story, as the comics often do.
 

For the sentiments, I used two different stamp sets from Honey Bee Stamps:
Blah Blah Blah and Oh, Snap!

The card base was so fun to put together, pulling from the primary colors
often used in the comics.
I used scraps of red, blue, yellow and green from my scrap pile
and made jig-zaw design, layering it with some contrasting colored cardstock
 from Fun Stampers Journey called Rock Candy.
 

And that's the nostalgic journey through the Sunday comics today
 with Charlie Brown and Snoopy!
Next week's card is much smaller :)

I hope you'll be able to join me with another edition of The Sunday Comics ♥

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
