Third Time’s a Charm

May 8th, 2008

For You OMG! I about gave up with this card!!! The first card, I was already done with it and I accidentally put the card on top of the stamp that of course I haven’t cleaned. While trying to clean the back, the front sentiment got ruined. ARGH!!!!

Then I made a second one. Well, I just got to stamping the pattern stamp that’s on the bottom right  corner and my hand skipped and so I accidentally doubled up the stamp. Double ARGH!!!

Color swatchSo I took a deep breath, checked everything twice and here it is. I did it! I created the card based on KWernerDesign’s color challenge.  It’s Brilliant blue, Pumpkin Pie, Bashful Blue which I replaced with Bliss Blue since I don’t have Bashful, and White.

My Stampin’ Up! order came in today. Now I have four new sets to play with. I’ve been wanting this for a while but just never got to getting it. I should have gotten it earlier. The butterflies are so fun to use.

I received some interesting emails today and quite excited about them. They just came out of the blue. I’ll tell you more later after all is confirmed. All I can say is that one is from my very most favorite company. I’ll work there any day - well, as long as I can telecommute {::SMILES}.

I better get ready for a crop tomorrow. It’s at the LSS and I’m going to help host. We’re going to do some fun things. Nobody there reads my blog anyway so I’ll share {::SMILES}. I’ll be doing a few challenges, nothing hard really. The first is to use stamping for their layout and another is pop it with alphas. This is the first crop for the lss, so I’m trying to keep it simple. M is going with me — she’s been going to almost all my crops. She has her little bag ready.
