Still trying to traverse the muck that is my life right now, but will slowly try to post some things over the next week. I have a DT assignment to post, but I need to download and edit the photos.....and I am not in the mood to do that this morning.
I signed up for a swap with my new SBS#26 group of stamping sisters, and I am glad I did. It got my butt moving a little bit again. I made a card! Actually, I made 4 cards.....because that's how many other sisters signed up for the swap (okay, secretly I am soooooooooo glad I only had to make 4!!). I don't really do swaps anymore, but I am glad I did this one. I not only produced a card I like, but I used some new stamps that have been sitting around waiting for me to use them. And, of course, that butt-moving thing.
The brown cardstock is actually that cool Core'dinations stuff that is another color in the core of each sheet. I put it through my Cuttlebug and sanded the brown off the top to reveal the pretty light pink underneath. Definitely going to figure out other ways to use it, because it was fun!
