I hit some crafty sales a couple of months ago and found the perfect stamp and die sets for this challenge, so I'll be sharing once again with Darnell over at NBUS #76 (which stands for Never Before Used Schtuff).
Isn't that a fun card? All the stamps and dies are from Concord & 9th. I thought these were such a clever products that could be used for most ages.
I started with the background stamp. It's a rather clever design where you stamp it one direction then turn it 180 degrees then stamp it again to fill in the entire background. I also used a little stamp around some of the records, which to me looks like the record player beneath of it.
Next all the dies were cut, the sub-sentiment stamped, then everything added to the card front. This card will be headed to my BIL next month but I think the products are generic enough to use for anyone.
I'm looking forward to seeing all the gallery cards and how everyone chose to use circles. I hope you'll join us this week, the challenge remains open until 3pm EDT Friday July 11th. But before you dash off, please make a stop at the challenge blog where my talented teammates have used circles in a wide of array of designs.
Thanks for visiting and take care!

This is SO CLEVER! I thought the background was paper, not a turnaround stamp, it's stamped so perfectly! What a great idea for the circles theme, I love it!
Stef... this card is BRILLIANT! Albums are the perfect circle...so creative and fun. Just love it.
As soon as I saw this card at The Paper Players, I knew I needed to see it more closely. I've had parts of this set for a long time, but somehow never purchased the background stamp set. What a mistake, and one I'll rectify once my "no spending on craft supplies" month ends. I love your card--especially the fabulous color combination you used! Thanks (I think!) for enabling me.
Stef, this is the best challenge and your card is AMAZING! Nothing I loved better as a young girl than a record album. The color combo is perfect and this card really makes me smile! Thank you for the memories!
