All the cool kids are doing it...

I have a confession to make and it may cause many of you stampers to think I'm completely nuts. I get excited about really geeky things. But I don't mean tech geeky - I couldn't care less about an iPad - but when I see a stamp set with sentiments like "Analytical Chemistry - All the cool kids are doing it" my Want Monster comes out growling and my paypal account takes a beating!! So here's my first creation with my newly acquired Chemistry and Chem. 101 sets from There She Goes:


Although I adore ALL of the geeky sentiments in Chem. 101, I started with this particular one because my brother especially liked it - he works for a company that does online science homework for schools and universities - and it is perfect for his coworker - she is running their analytical chemistry homework project, and she's finding that the cool kids are actually *not* so keen on analytical chem at the moment, hee hee. So maybe this would brighten her day a bit.

For the layout of the card I played along with the Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #109.


The circles reminded me of bubbles coming off the foaming beaker in the image, so I used bubble-like clear buttons for three of them. I put black brads through the button holes, which kinda messes up the bubble effect but looked better for my brother than the big black bows I originally tied on them. HA! I also added a little liquid applique to the top of the bubbling beaker.


I love these stamps - I'm warning you now, there will be more chem-geekery coming soon on my blog... hee hee!
