Welcome to {Day 2} of Take Two with Lisa Arana! Thank you so much for all your feedback yesterday. We’re thrilled to entertain you with rolls of toilet paper. LOL Hopefully you will get the same giggles from today’s set which is Pain and Pride by {ippity} for Unity. It’s definitely not winter anymore. In fact, we skipped spring and went straight to a hot blazing summer so this image makes me feel a little cooler. When I am shopping for stamp sets, the sentiments are just as important as the images. If the sentiments aren’t interesting, the images don’t matter. This is one of those complete sets where every single sentiment will see ink! All I could think of when making this window scene was, “And then you have to come inside.” HAHA You can see another card I made with this set HERE.
If you are new to Take Two, Lisa and I are featuring five different stamp sets, one each day this week. You have until 11:59 p.m. EST on Saturday, March 24th to comment on my blog and Lisa’s blog for the week’s posts. That gives you ten chances to win one of five stamp sets from Unity Stamp Company as well as two of Lisa’s awesome watermarks! We will announce the winners on Monday, March 26th, 2012.
Now hop on over to Lisa’s blog to see her take on Pain and Pride!

Oh my goodness that sentiment is to fun! i love the design and the window.
Great job sweetie
Such a cute card, especially with the use of embossed squares. It really highlights the interesting features of the stamp! 🙂
Ok, so you have to tell me how you did this. I absolutely love it! This is brilliant! Great work.
I love the window pane you created. Truly fabulous.
Oh My! Could this be any cuter! I adore everything about it, what a fabulous Take Two week this is turning out to be!
Stalker penguin? It looks a little like he's waiting out there to clobber ya 😉 I love this sentiment since I actually say it to my kids pretty frequently. It's true – and once someone gets hurt, oh my goodness, the world is ending!
That window is freakin' awesome! Love the fun colours too. 🙂
I love the window!! What an awesome card!!
Hilarious. Love the window effect and the way the color pops in the midst of all that white.
Wow love the window… that is so cool. How did you do that? Masking?
You kill me! I was trying so hard to think of something like this and my little brain couldn't do it. I love how you incorporated an embossed window and your colors are fab!
This is so adorable! You are so creative using the window die cut!
I love how he's looking in through the window and your coloring is fantastic!

This is so amazing. Did you mask the image onto the embossed squares? It is really magnificent. I love your pinks for the scarf and hat. Great job!

Awesome card… Your coloring is amazing too:)
I love this window scene! Looking at it looks like it was a pain to color! :> Clever card Emily! I don't know I think Spring will be here just a nicer warmer spring. Today it's 12 here and a big rain storm last night! I keep hoping that if it's hot early all the outdoor pools will open early!
Totally hilarious! You already know I love this stamp 🙂 but your out-of-the-box (but inside-the-frames) use of it is brilliant!
