We have all been creating with "Life in Pictures—April 2016 Stamp of the Month" Stamp set.  If you have arrived here from Doris Taylor Creative Inspirations then you are in the right place.

Today I would like to share with you my project which features the Life in Pictures—April 2016 Stamp of the Month available exclusively throughout April 2016 for $27 or for just $7.50 when you spend $75. This is a Camera Enthusiasts dream of a stamp set and is perfect for colouring in or painting with or like I have done, kept it black and white. 

I pulled out my Workshops Your Way™ Penelope Scrapbooking Kit and cut two bases at 3.75 x 5 inch out of the Blue dots sheet of B&T paper using my SureCut™ Deluxe Craft Paper Trimmer.

Then I cut out one of the Picture My Life cards (the blue flowers card) which are 3x4 inches again using the SureCut™ Deluxe Craft Paper Trimmer. The two blues sort of blended together so I ran each of the edges of the two papers, over my Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad in a swiping motion and gave them some outlined definition. 

I stamped the Large Camera on 12" X 12" White Daisy Cardstock and the title SMILE! from the Life in Pictures—April 2016 Stamp of the Month in Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad and fussy cut them out with my Non-stick Micro-tip Scissors.

Then I stamped the "You're Appreciated more than you know." stamp from the Australian Thanks stamp set in in Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad on 12" X 12" White Daisy Cardstock and fussy cut it out with my Non-stick Micro-tip Scissors.

I attached all the bits together with Duck® Easy Stick™ Adhesive 

and I was really happy with the finished result. 

I had cut two of the blue dots 3.75 x 5 inch paper from the Workshops Your Way™ Penelope Scrapbooking Kit so I made an extra card using a cricut cut out shape from the Cricut® Art Philosophy Collection that I had leftover from a previous project, cut from 12" X 12" White Daisy Cardstock. I had already fussy cut out the camera, with my Non-stick Micro-tip Scissors that I had stamped with Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad on 12" X 12" White Daisy Cardstock. 

To finish off the card I added the Black & Gold Ribbon that I adhered with Memory Book Mini Glue Dots™. I added the lovely "You're appreciated more than you'll ever know." title from the Australian Thanks stamp set to the top of the card stamped in Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad directly on the blue patterned paper from Penelope. 

Remember this great stamp set  Life in Pictures—April 2016 Stamp of the Month is only available throughout April from my website or from your Close to My Heart Consultant.
