My Craft Barn entry, yet again at the last minute but inspired by a tag received in a swap, I got to work on my page.I used the large lady stamp from the Indigo Blu freebie magazine set.
The quote I found online is by Henry David Thoreau. "Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth"
I used my Andy Skinner word stamps, which I bought from the Craft Barn some time ago. I cobbled together the words "Money" and "Fame" using a number of the stamps letter by letter. I typed the small words on my manual typewriter.

Oh this is beautiful BJ - love the colours and the quote.
Lovely page, but the truth can sometimes be hard to take...:-)
I can't believe you get free stamps in magazines. That's not the case in the states. She is a real beauty, too.
I like that you used a manual typewriter to add words. What a unique perspective (pun was NOT intended).
I really like the ransom type stamping you did with the other words. They brought the quote to life.
Lovely page, you must have used quite a few stencils! Love how you cobbled the words together, I would never guessed they were stamped letter by letter.
I love this page and the monochrome blue look. The quote is fab.

Stunning page BJ! Had to get the free Indigo Blue stamps they are so beautiful, you have used them so well. Fabulous page:-) xxx
The Indigo freebies are a def need! Did you also see the Lavinia stamp freebies on Papercraft Essentials issue 107? Lavinia stamps are very expensive, i know as i purchaes a couple last year. You would pay £8 for the fairy alone so another great buy. The mag has a couple of good articles this time too.
I usually purchase mags for their freebies except Craft Stamper and Cloth Paper Scissors.
I love to research, that's how i find many things. Research is like meditation for me, can't do as much as i used to so enjoy honing my skills with this particular Challenge lol. xxx
Wow BJ this is a beautiful page. Fabulous quote. Gorgeous colours, background, stamp (Oh yes that stamp!!) and the words - all perfect. I leant my manual typewriter to someone and never had it returned :( but maybe her need was greater than mine. Have a wonderful week :o)
Hi BJ love what you have done with the free stamp. I think the set is one of the best freebies I have seen on a magazine.
Happy crafting, Angela x
Great page, love how you stamped the words, i think i have the same set but haven't thought about that, thx for the idea
