Get Well

I was doing some rearranging in my stamp room on Friday and I really wanted to re-purpose anything I already owned in my new arrangements. I have been finding that if I can't see it, or at least be able to get at it I won't use it.

I have always had a place/organizer for my punches, pads etc. but there are so many other items that we have that I forget I have them or don't bother to use them because to get at them means moving something etc. Well, I think I managed to get a good start on being able to find what I want, when I want and I did not purchase anything new to accomplish this. That is the best part.

Anyway here is the card I created after I cleaned up. I found my background stamps and used the polka dots on the chocolate chip layer. See one found item used already. LOL

I stamped the greenery in Wild Wasabi the flowers in Melon Mambo and Crush Curry and cut them out applied to the greenery. I stamped the Get Well stamp from Perfectly Penned in Black.

Added a strip of Melon Mambo that had been punched with the scallop border punch to each side of the Whisper White and attached it to the Chocolate Chip piece. Added the ribbon and then adhered all of this to my card front.

Thanks for stopping bye. Also, thank you to all of you that comment I really do love to read them as it inspires me to stamp more. Thank You

Wish I Could Sail Away

I say that because this weekend we got a whole pile of snow. I drove into town this afternoon for some groceries and over the lake it looked so glumey and dark. I guess that is because of the moisture coming out of the lake before it freezes.

I love watching the boats in summer on the lake, it is so relaxing. Then one of those sea doos comes roaring by and spoils the tranquil moment. LOL

Anyway, my card today is a masculine birthday. Very easy to copy and please do. I decided to heat emboss the images as I could not get a real crisp image on the Crumb Cake like I wanted.

I used the white Sigma Pen to highlight the waves and the sail. Enjoy and thanks for taking a look.
