A little bit of Creative Humour…..
Hey everyone!
I hope all is well with you all! Life is still good here. I have been having some fun stamping time, and by fun, i also mean funny 
My Favorite things has a competition going at the moment called, “So you think you can stamp” which is based of different forms of dancing. The first week it was Swing and this past week it was Disco / Retro. Now where does a girl start with that? I thought I would run with old fashioned retro, and well here is the creation I came up with:
Do you like my Retro wall paper in the background? LOL! For this creation I have used the MFT stamp called Call me. I have pretty much paper pieced the whole picture apart from the girls shirt, and the telephone which I coloured with my Copic markers. I have used Basic black cardstock with Kiwi kiss DSP, and Ochid oppulance and Baja breeze cardstock as well. I have embellished with a little library clip and black gingham ribbon.
Oh to be able to get away with a purple shirt and green houndstooth pants again and not to mention an afro too!
The next creation I made was using Stampin’Up’s Holiday line-up stamp set. I have wanted (needed) this stamp set for a little while now, and with the festive season just around the corner, I thought it was time I made this little stamp set a home amongst the others I have :)
So here is the cute Reindeers in that stamp set:
Aren’t they adorable!!!
I have used the Real red cardstock along with Baja blue and some Ski slope DSP from Stampin’Up. I have coloured my reindeers in with my Copic markers, and then added some striped red ribbon and the greeting is from the Short and Sweet stamp set, which I have punched out with my oval punches. I added the paper piercing and rhinestone brads for embellishments.
I hope you have a little smile appear when you view these cards! I certainly have had fun making them!
Have a great night!

Wonderful to hear you are having so much fun making cards. It is so great to just sit down and stamp for yourself isn’t it, and these cards are just gorgeous as usual. I really love the retro one, you have done such a great job with this, all the patterned paper is awesome. I love seeing you use your “nesties” as well. Aren’t they just the greatest?
Love the Holiday Lineup card too….gotta love that Ski Slope paper. Your reindeer look great coloured with the Copics and the paper piercing and brads are the perfect embellishment.
Have a great day

Great cards, Keesh - love your take on the Disco/Retro theme, very clever! I just got Holiday Lineup yesterday & can’t wait to ink up those reindeer! Have a great time at Regionals this weekend too, we have to wait another whole month before the Brisbane one!
Oh am lurrrrving those retro colours!!! Such a fun card too with the “Call me”
Holiday Lineup would have to be one of my favourite sets right now! It just amuses me so much, lol! The reindeer one in particular always makes me giggle *blush* Ah I’m just easily amused, hehe.
