JoyOfStamping

So, yesterday, I’m sitting in my office on the 2nd floor of a “crappy” County Building. All of a sudden, we hear a BOOM! and the entire 2nd floor just starts rolling…… Now, I don’t know if it’s my age….. but when I was younger, earthquakes never scared me before. This time, I told myself to remain calm, but my legs started getting wobbly. I don’t know if this one was longer than I’m use to, but it seemed to have lasted forever. I was just glad it was over….. but then came the part that was even harder….. no cell service for a while. My sis just moved into a new place and didn’t have a land line phone. I was a little nervous about my 18 month old nephew with all of the boxes and stuff piled high from their move. But luckily, all is well with them!

When I got home, my mom asked me for a wedding card. I looked in my tiny stash of cards and noticed that there was nothing in there for a wedding…. hmmmmm…. does that mean that I actually have to stamp AGAIN? LOL! I had no mojo after dealing with the earthquake and the meetings that arise from it. So, I went to Splitcoast for some inspiration. It took all of 24 seconds for me to find the Dirty Girl Challenges and I immediatly spoted Jenn Balcer’s challenge. I knew exactly which paper to grab, now I justed needed a wedding image. Within 1 minute, I found this cute MFT stamp called Heart’s Galore and thought it would be perfect.  I used my Scor-Pal for my dry embossing along the edge of my white cardstock.

It was awesome to be able to whip out a card in less than 15 minutes and be totally happy with it…. Thanks Jenn for the inspiration. I popped up the images with some Foam Tape, the 1/16th” tape for the celery cardstock to the black scalloped cardstock and then the 1/8″ for the Black scalloped to the rest of the card. And isn’t this CindyRibbon gorgeous? I think I need to restock on this beautiful ribbon.

And of course my card would not be complete with my new love…. Ranger’s Glossy Glaze.

Thanks to everyone that e-mailed, called, texted to make sure that I was ok!
