But first, I want to let you all know that I have stepped down from the Gina K design team. Last month was my last "official" month on the team. This decision was very tough for me and I assure you it was for one reason ONLY -----> to lessen my mandatory work load at this time. My baby starts kindergarten in the fall and I really want to cherish these last few months of having a little one home. Gina is absolutely amazing and I have no doubt that we will still be working together a lot! I am so grateful for her friendship and I will still be around peeking some sets here and there (like today!) and posting lots of Gina K goodness on my blog. Thank you, Gina! LOVE you lots!
Now...onto the stampy stuff! Here are two creations I made with Oh Boy! The first is a nursery wall decor piece. I love all the transportation images in this set and think it would be so cute to put each one in a frame for a collection of wall art. I created one with the sailboat:
I painted the wood frame with some white paint. Then, I created the scene with lots of paper piecing----I paper pieced the sailboat with some paper and did the same with the clouds and sun. I layered the sail and sun for some dimension. I popped up a few layers and added some (wonky) stitching and a little button.You can see some of the dimension/detail in this picture:
I paired this image with some Joy Ride dp and chipboard. I free hand cut the clouds and added some tiny dots for fun. The truck is colored with Copic markers.
Materials used: Stamps- Oh Boy! (Gina K Designs); white cardstock (Gina K Designs); Copic markers; Memento tuxedo black ink; ribbon (SU!); designer paper- Joy Ride (Cosmo Cricket); Ready Set Chip-JoyRide (Cosmo Cricket); black pen.

Really cute cards! Love how you've popped up the images. Sorry to hear that you are leaving GKD but good that we will still see you here now and then. Plus I'll still see you on your blog! :)
That boat card is so freaking AMAZING!!!
Both of these are amazing, great stamps for children 's birthdays
Love the work you do. Spending more time with your little one is the best thing you can do at this time. You made the right decision. I retired in order to have more time with my grandchildren before they grew up, and it's the best decision I ever made.
Love your cards Cammie! That frame is adorable!
OMG that frame is amazingly adorable!! (and thanks for your sweet comment on my blog!!) Hugs, Harriet
Cammie, both of these are absolutely precious. Definitely going to use this ideas in future projects. Family comes first, so your decision is the right one for you at this time. I hope you'll continue your blogging so we can continue to enjoy all your creations and keep up with your adventures in life!
Your work during the previews will surely be missed, but I know you will still be around. I just LOVE both of these. They make me wish I have a boy.
Just love your cards on GinaK's previews.Enjoy this special time in the life of your little one. The days go by so quickly!Hugs from Michigan
Love the projects you have created with these stamps especially the one with the sailboat!
Wonderfully creative projects, Cammie! Love the wall frame - incredible dimension! And the card is adorable! We will definitely miss you but will keep up on your blog! Enjoy the time with your little one!
Cute, cute, cute!!! I love that frame! Sorry you are leaving the team but at the same time totally understand and plan to stalk you on a regular basis ;) ((hugs))
Love your projects! Believe it or not one of your earlier stamp sets (proceeds going to Alzheimer's) was what started me following GKD! It won't be the same without you! It's easy to understand why you are stepping down, and believe me, I will be right here doing to old 'stalk' every time you post! Good luck!!!
Love the projects today. The sailboat is so adorable! So glad that you will be able to spend more time with your little ones. They grow up so fast. My baby is 21 now and I was a stay-at-home Mom while they were growing up. If I had only known about stamping then my life may have taken a whole new direction. Enjoy your time; they move away way too soon. I'll still drool over whatever you have time to make.
I just adore your truck card! Your coloring is just wonderful and the other elements are just perfect! Yes, those little ones grown up WAY too fast, enjoy each moment!
Really cute card!!! We will miss you, but it sounds like you'll still be around. That's good cause then we wont have to miss you too much.LOL
Wonderful samples! So sad to hear your great work won't be at every release party - but I will still follow your blog as I love all the work you do! Enjoy your time with your kids - they grow up so fast!
OH MY GOSH -- these are totally adorable!!! Just SO SO cute!!!
My baby is in kindergarten this year, and you're right -- time with your kids is too precious. Enjoy every moment! :)
Oh, wow!!! Your sailboat frame is absolutely adorable!!! The truck card is so cute! I love it! We will miss you but I completely understand your decision. I hope you have a wonderful summer with your kiddos!
That frame is ADORABLE!What a perfect gift for a new nursery!
You will never regret the time you are taking for your kiddos. It will continue to pay off as they get older! I just had this reaffirmed by an older classmate this weekend....(when discussing my decision not to go back to get my masters/doctorate at this time) I know in my heart that the time I'm investing in my kids will pay off more than time spent in the classroom
The more I look at everyones card if I had to choose one over the other, I don't think that I could do it. They are all wonderful. I love the stamp sets. Thanks for sharing.

These cards are soooo cute! We are going to miss you! :( I hope you will have a wonderful and rememberful time with your little one. Time really flies, don't you think? One moment their still little and the next moment they go to school. My daughter turned 4 on Nov. 30th and i can't wait for vacation time (just waiting for 1 1/2 week and she will be home for two weeks in our country) because i miss her a lot! Don't be a stranger on StampTv! :)
Hugs, Debbie Meijer :)
The baby frame is so adorable!! Wishing you the best in your new projects!
God bless.

The birthday card is so cute, but that frame is just adorable!!
Even though you will be missed at GKD we can still find you here and family is always our #1 priority.
Love that sweet frame, Cammie! So darling! And the birthday card is great! Couldn't have chosen more perfect papers for this fun image! Fabulous!
Enjoy your time with your little one! I went today to take Matthew (my 16 yo) to his testing (we home school), and all of us moms were marveling at how grown-up the kids already are...it happens way too fast! Savor it!
Love the idea of the wall art! You have a good start on it. Cute card, too. Will miss your mandatory design cards, but you need to be mommy first. I'll still be subscribing, of course!
Your card/frame are gorgeous, as always! :-D Sad to see you go, but confident we will still see a lot of you! ;-D Enjoy your family! <3
truly darling 'boy' cards....each as cute as the other
Oh my gosh, these are SOOOOO stinkin' cute! Love that frame with the striped paper for the waves and clouds and how you used the swiss dots folder. The second card is so BRIGHT and fun, and I love your coloring. You'll be greatly missed on the GKD team.
...and I just have to tell you, I've been SOOOO jonesin' to go to Wildwood ever since seeing your post. Well, my oldest and I are taking a road trip down there this Sunday to look at a house to rent, hehe! Can't wait!
These are adorable, Cammie! Love the nursery wall art, especially. Wow! So cute!!
Oh, Cammie! This frame is over the top amazing! I want one!! LOVE that truck card too - it's so adorable! BIG hugs to you, you almost 'birthday girl.' I'm glad you're not leaving us completely - LOVE you!!!
Hey Cammie!!! I have been catching your creations and seeing your name, but not had a chance to drop by properly. This baby card is AMAZING!! I have seen several with this set and this is by far the bestest ever!! Oh....and loving the crate paper flowers, gonna get some tomorrow! Lovin' all your cards sister! :)
