My 5 year old son rocks!
I wanted to make him a card to tell him exactly that. What better stamp sets to use than Friends Rock and the Rockin' Wheel?
Using Mojo Monday's Sketch #95, I started playing with my new goodies. It all started with my favorite card base - Kraft cardstock. Ahhh ... the love I have for Kraft (we'll go into that a different day).
Rarely do I play with masculine color combos, but I tried my hand at it using Dusty Durango, Soft Suede and Crushed Curry. I have to say I'm quite pleased with the results. FUN FACT: Crushed Curry is my favorite new In Color.
Check out that fun designer paper peeking out from beneath the main image. That's the new Storybook Specialty paper. It was the first thing in the 2009 - 2010 Idea Book & Catalog that I HAD TO HAVE.
One side of the Storybook paper is covered in bold colors and fun prints, while the other side is like a coloring book. Check it out! I am so over the moon with this collection! Coordinating colors are Taken with Teal, Summer Sun, More Mustard, Ruby Red and Old Olive.
Be sure to look at page 163 in the catalog to see the wall art Stampin' Up! created using Storybook Specialty DSP. LOVE IT! I can picture this in my sons bedroom.
NOTE TO SELF: Convince husband (a master at coloring) to help me complete this project for our rockin' guy!

I love the card. I love how you used the tag as an element in the card! This is the first card I have seen with this stamp set!

Very cute, Kris! Makes me wish our boys were small again! Although they do still rock! I really like the crushed curry, soft suede, and durango orange together too. Nice for autumn cards.

Great color combo - when I saw this set in the catty, I definitely thought girlie - but you totally ROCKED this as a masculine set too!

Great use of this fun set! I love the way you used the metal edged tag - perfect!

Kris, your son inherited his "You Rock-ness" from you, because like Kim said, you really rocked this sketch and the stamp set. I love this card. You are so kreative!

Wow this is terrific! You are rockin' that spiral punch too - looks great! Love seeing your little guy - enjoy.
