Creative Belli Challenge - Dust off those old stamps!

Welcome to Man Week @ Joyful Stamper!!!
I'm focusing on masculine projects this week!

Happy September!!!

Ok, now that August is over, can I start decorating for autumn??? Is it too soon??? Autumn is my favorite time of the year! I have a permanent 'autumn' room in my home but I'm ready to have it overflow into the rest of the house now!!! lol

We have a new Creative Belli challenge for you today! It's a classic...use an old stamp! Yep, dig it out, dust it off and ink it up! too fun!

Stamps: SU! retired set (?)
sentiment -CG
Paper: SU! cs
Ink: SU! black classic ink
Other: Cropadile hole punch, graph paper,
piercing tool for faux stitching.

When I saw what the challenge was for this week, I knew it was finally time to use a CASEd idea I saw last year from the Debbie Olson! I changed the image/sentiment/embellies and the design. She used a background stamp for her card but I didn't have a graph stamp...I did, however, have graph paper & a copier!! I was please with how it turned out!!


Let's see which stamps were shown some well needed love by the other Belli girls...
