Breaking News - Tonia turns 63! LOL

The year was 1963 and it was the year my pen pal Tonia in Australia was born. (me too btw) Anyway, we have been pen pals for over 35 years and we met in person about 15 years ago when she came to Las Vegas. I have to send her card about 4-6 weeks ahead because it takes that long to get there. Her birthday is early May so I will mail this next week and hopefully she'll get it in time. I used the colors in this challenge for this card.

Another great stamp and die set by Hero Arts.

You're All That & A Bag of Chips

I love this new set by Hero Arts. It's actually not that new, but I am just now getting around to using it. First, I stenciled the background in a subtle blue using The Greetery's plaid stencils. Then I diecut out the bag of chips and the chips themselves. It was easy using the stencil to line up the coloring on the bag of chips. I thought this color combo went good for this first challenge. I chose the colors for my inspiration.
