Although there are a lot of different elements to this tag, none of them are difficult to execute.  I did fussy-cut the bird (LOVE THE BIRD) but World Cup soccer came to the rescue there.  (I’m grateful it happened when it did as it was my entertainment while I was sick for 5 days, but I’m glad it’s over.  Sheesh.  That was a lot of Futbol.)

Maui Stamper An Open Heart Collage Tag SwapI’m really excited to see the tags the other swappers have to share!  Convention is always such a great source of inspiration.

If you live – or will be visiting – Maui, I’m offering a Collage Tag class on Sunday, August 2nd from 1 to 3pm.  We’ll make this tag and two others – let me know if you’d like to join us!

 

 

September Travels

August 2017:  Edited to correct the stamp set.

My observant reader, Roberta Koster, contacted me this week to let me know that I’d listed the wrong stamp set with this calendar page. It’s not Travel Post, it’s Postage Due.  Thank you for submitting this correction, Roberta!!!


Back in the BC (Before Children) days, Mr. Maui Stamper and I loved to travel in September.  All the families with children were home starting school, the weather was still perfect in most parts of the world, and we enjoyed the relative calm of traveling off-season.

Then we had children.

Now we live the “Duo Life” again.  (We decided  the term “Empty Nest” is negative.)  September travels await!

Maui Stamper 2013 Calendar September

  • Postage Due    Travel Post stamp set
  • Whisper White and Island Indigo card stock
  • Melon Mambo and Island Indigo Stampin’ Write markers
  • Basic Grey FFIP

The only trick to this one is that those words were selectively inked on the biggest image in the Travel Post set.  Everything else is quick and easy!
