celebrate the ordinary everyday moments

 I just love those 'one of' pictures that you get - a fleeting moment, but still precious.  This was one of them and I used it for the challenge at Aussie Scrap Source. The latest challenge is to make your own stamps - WOW - how fun and I love that idea!!

I decided to make a BG stamp to compliment this LO - so the red textured look in the BG is my homemade stamp - but I'll get to that at the end of this post.

Here's some close-up's:

Some lace doily trim and ruffled ribbon - I've also been playing with Fimo and made this textured heart!

 Bird and cloud by the Chip-Chop shop - and a close up of the BG stamp with light misting of glimmer-mist.

So this is how I made my stamp:

 I've used some foam flower stickers - purchase from a local discount store.  I've picked out a few different sizes, then poped them into an embossing folder and put thru my Cuttlebug - this has given me a texture on my stamps.  And foam embosses very easily!!  Next I've arranged the foam flowers onto an acrylic block as shown below.

Now I have my homemade stamp, ready to use - I've simply inked it up using Real Red by Stampin'Up and stamped onto my LO!!  Really easy and really fun.

Thanks for coming by and happy crafting.
