It's the second day of Spring Break and I actually got to sleep in! Instead of 5:30am, I slept til 6:30. The dreams were getting pretty silly by that point and it actually was a relief to wake up. Some optometrist was coming to MY studio to test MY eyes and I couldn't get Denver and his cousin to turn down their computer game so I could hear the dr. Half of that dream is usually my reality!
I probably needed to sleep in as I worked Easter (12:00-0800) at the hospital and didn't nap at all before church and was up all day. After supper, Rob was going to send me to bed for the sake of all the family and I started hearing the siren song of new stamps. Sarah, sarah, come hither and stamp! What's a girl to do? I had been telling the voices in my head to hush all weekend and so….I really probably needed the sleep as Ella and I stayed up WAY to late stamping.
As demos, we can pre-order our stamps and if my order is anything like yours might be, we both could be having a really fun summer! (New minis will be arriving in your mailboxes some time this month!) I really tried to budget but man, it was tough. The embossing folder…oh boy, I want to emboss everything. Where's that house payment….oh, the kid's lunch money? Wait, maybe the soccer schedules should be embossed.
Here's one that I'll be using for a couple of upcoming events. I found this website, Stamping 411 that has adorable sketches. This card is from this weeks' sketch.
- Stamps: Motorcycle, Teeny Tiny Wishes
- Inks: Black Staz-on, More Mustard,
- CS: Basic Gray, More Mustard,
- Misc: Square Lattice Embossing Folder
Wow! Love all the new stuff!!! That embossing folder is the bomb!!! Your card is fabulous…..great job with the sketch!!
I know – it’s impossible to sleep when there’s new crafting stuff waiting to be played with! Love your beautiful card.
I have only boys in my life. 2 boys aged 16 and 19 and 45. I find it hard to make cards for their b-days, so thanks for the great idea. I love your card.

Fabulous card! I love your color combo and how well you coordinated the embossing folder with that stamp – like they were made for each other!
Thanks for playing with the 411!
New stamps trump sleep every time!!! Love what you did with the sketch too 🙂 Looking forward to meeting you on the cruise in a couple of weeks!
OMG.. In my head I heard the theme from sons of anarchy… 🙂 This is a stellar job1! I cant wait to ink mine up now. Thank you for the inspiration.
Ohh! I just ordered that set but don’t have it yet. Can’t wait to play with it. In the meantime I’ll enjoy looking at your creation.
