I have to apologize as this artwork is not using all current product that will be retiring, the paper has been retired long ago.  But I wanted to showcase the stamp set as it is one of my favorites, since it is so totally cute.  It is very versatile, and works well with lots of patterns, which is why I'm showing it off here.  This stamp set is called Safari Ballet (A1180) and is only $9.00CAD.

Now "Hop" on over to Melissa's Blog to see her work! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas!

For this 1st card, I used up some scraps of the Jack paper, along with the stamp from the Father's Day Card Kit.  I used corresponding ink colours, Jupiner and Ruby ink along with the embellishments that come in the kit.

For my 2nd card, I used the Jack Scrapbooking stamp set for the image, he is coloured using the Shinhan Markers.  This stamp set has matching Thin Cuts. To make the hat appear to be actually on hit head, I used my craft knife and made a slit.  The sentiment is also from the Father's Day Card Kit.

 I was asked to make name badges for the my daughter's class as they were helpers during an elementary field day.  I used StoryBook Alphabet to create all the badges since I thought the size would be good for the younger children to read.  I used White Daisy and Black cardstock for the base.  The letters were stamped in various colours, and I thought it was funny that my daughters name ended up being all Glacier and Lagoon.
