Wait…WHAT? & Joke of the Week

Do you ever look at stamp sets that have images in them that you think will ALWAYS have to be colored in? Today in my Wait…WHAT? tip video I'm going to show you some great tips using the Country Home stamp set and ideas where you don't have to color those LINE images. You can watch it here:

I just love this color combination – Crushed Curry with Blackberry Bliss is simply delicious and perfect for a vibrant fall card!

The WATERCOLOR WASH technique is perfect to use with this image – what do you think?

Dimensions:

• Crushed Curry 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" & 2 3/4" x 4"
• Blackberry Bliss 4" x 5 1/4"
• Country Lane DSP 1 3/4" x 5 1/4"
• Watercolor Paper 2 3/4" x 4"
• Whisper White 4" x 5 1/4" & 1/2" x 3 1/2"

And another simple and quick card that requires NO COLORING! Now don't get me wrong – I like to color but I know that not everyone does. These cards are perfect examples for some detailed line images that don't require coloring!

Dimensions:

• Early Espresso 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" & 4" x 5 1/4"
• Country Lane DSP 1" x 5 1/4"
• Whisper White 4" x 5 1/4" & scrap

And then we have the GREAT tip for the THANKS label stamp and the CHRISTMAS BULB BUILDER PUNCH – super tip right? You'll find all the details and a video for the card below (posted on my blog previously HERE.

Once you punch out the label there's just a tiny bit of trimming necessary on each end to finish it off.

All three are great cards for fall – don't you think?

 The Policeman & the Farmer

Farmer Jack once lived on a quiet rural highway, but as time went by, the traffic slowly built up and eventually got so heavy and so fast that his free range chickens were being run over, at a rate of three to six a week.

So Farmer Jack called the local police station to complain,

"You've got to do something about all these people driving so fast and killing all my chickens," he said to the local police officer.

"What do you want me to do?" asked the policeman.

"I  don't care, just do something about those crazy drivers!"

So the next day the policeman had the council erect a sign that said:

  SCHOOL CROSSING

Three  days later Farmer Jack called the policeman and said,

"You've still got to do something about these drivers.  The school crossing' sign seems to make them go even faster!"

So again, they put up a new sign:

 SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY

That really sped them up. So Farmer Jack called and said,

"Your signs are no good. Can I put up my own sign?"

In order to get Farmer Jack off his back the policeman said,

"Sure. Put up your own sign."

The phone calls to the Police Station stopped, but curiosity got the better of the officer, so he called Farmer Jack,

"How is the problem with the speeding drivers, Did you put up your sign?"

"Oh, I sure did and not one chicken has been killed."

The policeman was really curious and thought he'd better go out and take a look at the sign. He also thought the sign may be something the police could use elsewhere to slow drivers down.

So he drove out to Farmer Jack's house.

His jaw dropped the moment he saw the sign . . . .
