Hip Cool Aunt!

The coolest thing about being an aunt is that you don’t have to be the fuddy-duddy responsible mom, you can have fun!

A friend took this photo of me holding my sister’s baby last week when he was just hours old. Cute!

I wanted a funky look so I used my new Wood Grain Background stamp and printed it on an ink-jet transparency (make sure you print on the rough side!) and I hand wrote my journaling on my Library Card digital stamp for a funky look. I adhered the transparency to my layout with red acrylic paint, I also used the red paint on assorted foam stamps to stamp the word “hip”. I cut the shaped background paper with my cricut and SCAL software.

Download the shaped paper SVG file here.

Have a wonderful Wednesday folks, It is raining here and I have a new audio book to listen too while I craft and baked beans in the crock pot, ahhhhh. Till next time happy crafting ;)
