Studio Calico Stamped Tag / Feb. Layout

I was listening to the Avalanche game tonight (a pretty awesome game too!) and wanted to do something fun, but I wasn't quite up for a layout. Lately, I just don't have anything I'm really wanting to scrap. Then I remembered this stamped tag challenge at Studio Calico this week and I thought it sounded like the perfect way to just play and have a little fun.

I used 4 different Studio Calico stamps on this one... 3 of them from kits, and the bird I bought on Two Peas a while ago (I think). I masked the stars to stamp the banners and then masked the banners to stamp the background. Fun! Some Stickles, tape, trims, and an American Crafts chipboard frame around the bird. A little crepe paper ruffle just for kicks.

And note the color combo... still on my mind after yesterday's 29 Days of Love album entry :)

Speaking of...

Today's prompt was "I love happy mail days." And I do... it's so fun to come home from work and find a little box of goodies on my doorstep! I had a few things sitting out from some packages I've gotten in the last little while and used them on the page.

I also used a chevron background that I cut on my Cameo from a piece of heart patterned Sassafras paper, added a shipping tag and some airmail colored twine, and then a little envelope I'd made for something else and then not used with some punched hearts tucked inside. The alpha stamps for the title are Swiss Girl Designs - I love them!

The ink, however, was spreading weirdly on the tag. It was fine on regular paper. But whatever!

And now I'm all played out. Later!
