I found time to stamp yesterday! On Thursday, I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off, spinning in circles, stuff and papers spread all over the house and found that I had no time at all to stamp. I had received my new Spring Mini Preorder the night before and wanted so desperately to play with the new sets, but alas, other important things to attend to. The following two cards I stamped Friday morning as a double challenge on SCS, the Ways to Use It Challenge from Thursday, and Friday’s Limited Supply Challenge. Of course, I also wanted a sample for Stamp Club with some of the new sets — think I need to work a little more on that one!

This card below is the new Office Accoutrement set in the Sping Mini. What perfect images for birthdays, anniversaries, it’s just figuring a way to use them! I’ll get it yet! Paper used was Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip and Bashful Blue. Inks were Stazon Brown, Apricot Appeal and Bashful Blue. Hard to see here, but the background panel is stamped with Paisly in Bashful Blue on Bashful Blue. The flowers were stamped in Apricot Appeal and then rock and rolled in Bashful Blue. The ribbons were scraps (which was the challenge today — to use scrap ribbon), but that cute little brown and blue checked ribbon was a gift from Terri. Thank you Terri!

My second card yesterday. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for spring and a little golfing. Petal Prints was used here and were colored in markers, spritzed with a little water and then stamped three times to give some dimension. Flannel Plaid is stamped on both background panels in the same color as the paper. Inks used were Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip and Mellow Moss. Of course, the ribbon are scraps from my scrap jar to work into today’s challenge.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and you get plenty of stamping time. I’m gonna run an errand with Daughter #1 this afternoon and I really should be getting my tush in gear!
