JoyOfStamping

Well, I made it back from my white water rafting trip safe and sound. The rapids were pretty weak this year, but I still had a great time. I’ll post pix in one of my upcoming entries.

I was so excited for the new SU! Catty to come out. I’ve already got my order in and can’t wait for it to arrive.

I joined a swap because I can’t bear to miss out on any swap opportunities with a certain swap group I’m in. When I saw “Pick a Petal”, I thought that was the set for me….. unfortunately, I had a harder time than I was expecting with this set. The petals were larger than I thought and I am petal challenged ans I couldn’t get my petals lined up when I attempted masking the center of the flower….. so….. I resorted to stamping each petal and then cutting them out. I glued pieces of the petals with Scotch Tacky adhesive…. it stayed wet long enough for me to adjust the petals.

I used the Tent Topper layout created by my dear friend Michelle Wooderson.

This swap took me DAYS to finish, when normally it only takes a day or two. So, after makeing 36 of these, I was DONE stamping for a while! LOL!
