Follow the links, check out all the amazing ideas and eventually you'll come right back here to where you started.

Today I would like to share with you my project which features the Balloon Animals—February 2016 Stamp of the Month available exclusively throughout February 2016 for $27 or for just $7.50 when you spend $75. This is the cutest party animal stamp set!



I decided this was the perfect birthday stamp set to make a gift for a little friend who has a party this coming weekend. I pulled out a My Creations™ Mini Mix Album to decorate as a gift. I also grabbed my Green Washi tape from the Limeade Washi PackThen I grabbed some complementary ink colours (Crystal Blue Exclusive Inks™ Stamp PadPear Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad and Honey Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad).


I stamped the Elephant, Dog and Bunny (as pictured below) on 12" X 12" White Daisy Cardstock, then fussy cut them out with my Non-stick Micro-tip Scissors.


I wanted to add a bit more colour to the white background so I grabbed a piece of green B&T paper from the Kaleidoscope Paper Packet

I cut it at 1.5 inches and then measured it out and cut the little bit off the edge of the 12x12 Kaleidoscope Paper with my scissors. 



I then stuck the Kaleidoscope Paper strip with Duck® Easy Stick™ Adhesive and the washi tape strip along the entire album (as show). So the back has the washi tape and green patterned paper on it, as well as the front. 


I placed the balloon animals I had stamped on top of the My Creations™ Mini Mix Album
to check the placement. I decided to then stamp our friends name on the little album. 

I pulled out my Hopscotch Alphabet and placed "D a n i e l" letters on the block and stamped it directly onto the My Creations™ Mini Mix Album in  Pear Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad


My little album is all ready for our friends gift on next weekend. I am happy with how it turned out. Don't tell him!! 

Remember this great stamp set  Balloon Animals—February 2016 Stamp of the Month is only available throughout February from my website or from your Close to My Heart Consultant

    1. Thanks Maz, I was inspired by Penelope (even though I only used the washi from Penelope and the paper was from kaleidoscope!) The ink colours are the "boy" colours (ie. No pixie or Thistle!) from the Workshop your way Penelope pack.
