July Whimsy Inspirations free online Magazine here

It's late in August and my son goes back to school soon!  I hate to say it, but it can't come soon enough because teenagers are really crazy!  lol  Do you think we were typical teenagers?  Maybe, but that would only lead me to a phone call to Florida and some stories that start with Remember when you did that thing that you did?  No thanks!

Today I want to share some projects I made last month for the Whimsy Stamps Magazine.  You can get the article in purchasing the issue or a mini version in the free online version too.  The feature was to create several different cards from one sentiment stamp set.  I decided to go with the Wedding occasion because it's usually a hit in July!

The three cards were made with Studio G card sets and are very different shapes and styles.  Each card took about 10 minutes from start to finish so if you have to whip one up quickly for the Wedding just around the corner, here's some inspiration for it.
