I'd like to introduce you to our final new Design Team member....

Janet Zeppa

Janet's blog: Janet's Joy

Hi there! My name is Janet Zeppa and I live in St.Catharines, Ontario, Canada. Born here and never left. It's close to Niagara Falls if that gives you a better idea of location. I'm a wife and mother to 3 grown children. They are 31, 29 and 28. A girl and 2 boys. I am newly retired from being a Medical Laboratory Technologist but have stayed on as a casual. Have to have that extra money to feed my scrapbooking habit. :) I love to play with all the pretty papers and love the idea of my grandchildren looking through my albums one day and seeing a part of their history. I also teach classes at my LSS and am having a blast!

And here's the card I made to welcome Janet to our team....

I wanted the front panel VERY simple. I used the polka dotted cloud from the Wishing you Sunshine set and the Congratulations greeting is from the Mention It! set. I hand cut the legs and hand drew a little head on my sheep.

And this is what you open up the card to....

The sentiment is created from the Lots of Dots Sentiments and the Mini Alpha stamp sets. If you read it carefully... it says...

Welcome to the neighbourHERD!

To create the back ground I used the farm scape from the Neighborhoods stamp set. I stamped and cut the silo, barn and farmhouse on red cardstock and then hand cut them out and added it over the initial stamping of the image.

I used a variety of the different clouds in the Wishing You Sunshine set to make my herd of sheep.

That cute little butterfly and the pretty blooms are both from the Funky Flowers stamp set. I also used the grassy stamp from the set too for the grass in the fore ground.


You have now successfully completed our little blog hop welcoming our new Design team members for myStamp BOX. Please make sure you have left a comment on each and every blog you have visited and you may just WIN yourself a new stamp set to play with! Good luck!!!
