The Crafting Professor: Scrappy Moms

I named myself The Crafting Professor, since I'm a crafter, and I'm a college professor. I went through many, many years of graduate school, and the best source of relaxation and stress relief was being in my craft room or going to a local crop. Back then, I never told anyone that I was a full-time graduate student. I was waiting for the day I would scrapbook my graduation page. Now, I run the ScrapbookerPhD challenge blog (http://scrapbookerphd.blogspot.com), and am bringing my passion for crafting and teaching together. But here, at The Crafting Professor, I'm just sharing my work with like-minded crafters from all over the world.

Hello Earthling

I have this great stack of patterned paper called Boyhood by DCWV, and in it, is a blast from the past... the space invaders that we loved back in the day when we played with Atari's and not smartphones. I have always wanted to use this paper, but couldn't find the right inspiration. Cue the Out of this World stamp set from My Favorite Things.

I cut and stamped two rocket ships to add to the card. I chose to use an orange plaid underneath the space invader paper so it would pop a bit more. I finished with the sentiment Hello Earthlings from the Out of this World stamp set from Scrappy Moms.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Leave a comment or subscribe to the list. I'd love to hear your feedback.

Out of This World

I have fallen in love with the stamp set Out of this World by My Favorite things. There are several rockets, aliens, and sentiments to choose from. I started my card with a blue base (sort of like the night sky) and embossed it with a Darice Clouds folder. Next, I stamped the rocket and colored it with Copics. I added a few orange stars to the back ground, and then I added a sentiment. This sentiment comes from Scrappy Mom's set also titled Out of this Wold. The sentiment says, Shooting By to Say Hi.
