Stamps Ahead

Looking to make something different, I google Despicable Me and found some inspiration to make this card. There has been a few around on blogs, I wanted simple for the project I had in mind.  Now, to clarify, I have never seen Despicable me so know nothing about the characters or language they use.   I did not have google eyes so I used a pearl with a dot from an alpha.  All product is Stampin' Up! (r) except for the alphas.  What do you think?  Did I nail it? Tank you! for looking, Margaret

 What "fun" it was to make these.  I say "fun" as I was mini-milk carton die challenged - it took me awhile to get the correct shape going.  I used Stampin' Up! (r) die - it has been around for a few years now, however, this is my first time playing with it.  I am playing around with ideas for a youth group and items they could make.  And our Stampin' Up! group had a challenge to use items from the current Sale-a-bration (SAB) catalogue.

I am teaching a lady this week who has never done scrapbooking.  I found this sketch on Pinterest, from myscrapsandmore.com (and do you think I found it again quickly on Pinterest - of course not!) and it is ideal for a first page.  She will learn about papers to use, cropping photos, matting, punches, design and much more. I have used Stampin'Up! (r) papers Calypso Coral, Wild Wasabi and patterned papers from Sweet Sorbet and Subtles Designer Series Paper.  The alphabet/numbers are not Stampin' Up! (r) they come from my stash. She will be making a double page layout as well, so I must get to work on this.  Thank you for looking.  Margaret :) ps.  As you can see it has been awhile since I scrapped these photographs, but obviously just waiting for the right time.
