When I first saw this snowman stamp by Mama Elephant, I had to have it. I ordered it directly from Mama Elephant and with quick shipping, I got it in 3 days.

Cards in Envy - Typography

Cards in Envy's first challenge for November is Typography  (Letters, Words or Sentiment as main focus)  You can see the challenge here. All cards must fit into a standard size envelope for easy mailing.

Who remembers shaving cream backgrounds when they were all the "rage"?  I decided to dig out my shaving cream, pour a couple of drops of Stampin Up re-inkers into it and voila, I have a fun background.

I hope you'll come play along at Cards in Envy.

Spray shaving cream onto a paper plate
or something you can throw away
or wash off. Drop a few drops
of any colors (I used Stampin Up
re-inkers). I am thinking I've
used food colors before but
not positive)

Mix the colors together using a
plastic spoon or something you
can wash off or throw away.
Lay your cardstock in it,
then smear off the excess
shaving cream and there's
your fun background.
