Good Times. Laugh Happy

A few days ago I received an email from Laina Lamb (she is an AMAZING designer by the way) asking me if I would like to "play" with some of her dies and stamps.  Umm...YES!  TOTAL no brainer there!  When they arrived I looked at them and didn't really have any inspiration for the first day, the next day I really looked at the stamps and found this one:

I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to scrap, my pictures from my daughter and I going to see the Hunger Games movie!  These pictures have been waiting and I knew that I wanted to add the mocking jay on the page as well.  (it's something I made using my silhouette, using it on our shirts as well....)  I had to pull good old red out of the dusty closet OLD SIZZIX die cutting machine (seriously like 12-13 years old):

Good Times:

These are the dies I used, you can find them HERE:

 The Stamp set I used, you can find them HERE:

Laugh Happy:

 For this layout I used one of the stamps to create a background (see I told you ideas popped into my head!  LOVED using my Versamark ink--I don't think I stamp enough!)
Here is a little closeup of the die cut title (This is the same die cut as from above):

I used another die which can be found HERE:

This is what I used for the background can be found HERE:

The fun little stars came from this set found HERE:

I can truthfully say I enjoyed using my die cutting machine, it's been YEARS since I pulled the thing out but these dies cut SO nicely, it was like BUTTER!  I will definitely be using these dies again SOON!  Also, these stamps stamp clear with no shadowing.  I sometimes stamp stuff and it isn't a clear image all of the stamps I used stamp so crisp.  I can't wait to use these stamps on cards and my project life.  Thanks SO much Laina for the opportunity I REALLY appreciated it!
