Any THEATER fans out there?!?

Today I'm sharing a sneak peek of a new FireCracker Designs by Pamela set that's coming out on September 1, and I am sooooo excited about it!! I grew up in a theater family. My Gramma was one of the founding members of my hometown's community theater group, and my mom was heavily involved with the group throughout my childhood (And still is! She's directing "Steel Magnolias" soon!). No, I never made it up on stage myself - are you kidding me?? If you ever meet me IRL you'll find I'm not exactly the On Stage Type. :-) However I did spend a whole lot of time backstage - helping to paint sets (my Gramma is also an AMAZING stage artist!), working props and scrambling in the dark during set changes. And watching countless rehearsals for all the shows my mom either directed or stage managed. To say that I love live theater is most definitely an understatement. But my love is weak compared to my mom & my sister! My sister (also a stamper) and I have discussed on MANY occasion how we've never come across any good theater stamp sets. Finally a couple months ago it hit me - DUH - ask Pamela if she'd be interested in making one!!! And I did ask, and she was, so my mom, sister and I brainstormed some ideas, I sent them to her, she added her own awesome design talent to it all and now I have the rubber in my hot little hands and I ADORE IT!!! I can't wait for you to see the entire set, she added so many fabulous phrases to it!! For this card I used the light, director's chair, masks and two of the sentiments - she left the chair blank so you can personalize it! I created the little spotlight on the chair myself (as I'm sure you can tell - I'm sooo not an artist!). The stream of light is covered with Gold Glimmer Shimmerz for some added sparkle. The color combo is the latest Color Throwdown Challenge, and the sketch comes from Jen del Muro. So are there any fellow theater lovers out there?? If so you are going to NEED this set, trust me. I can't wait for you to see it on Tuesday!!! Gee, have I mentioned that already? :-) Thanks for stopping by today. :-)
