I Said I Wouldn't Do This!

Ok, I was talked into creating a blog to showcase my creativity. I have been resisting this for far too long, but now is the time to finally get the ball rolling.

So here goes. Come with me on my journey into creativity.

A Weekend of Card Making

In browsing through my stamps and images, I decided I needed to work on some Copic coloring.  Although I didn't do any blending techniques, I got a lot of cards colored up  and ready to be put on cards.  I had joined a birthday card swap and its due in a few days... YIKES!!! ..... and was having a hard time deciding what to make for this swap. 

Earlier this week, I went to a friends home who had invited a bunch of us over for a day of scrapping, chatting and eating.  Well, my birthday was on Tuesday and I've been staying up late doing all sorts of things... so I finally showed up around 1230 ish... ok... it was more like 1pm.  LOL!  Who am I fooling.  Her hubby created a scrapbook room for her, so I had to go take a look.  We were scrapping in the kitchen at a big table.   She also sells CTMH stamps, so while in there, of course I had to take a look.  I told her I was looking for a fun birthday stamp and we searched til I found just the right one.  I also went home with a lot of other ones that she let me borrow to stamp.  She mentioned that she was getting pegboard to put on one of the walls.  I told her not to get any.  She gives me this look ... as if to say "why not".  Well, over a year ago, I went to Lowe's and got some peg board.  I had it cut to size and also board some other wood to back it with so it would sit off of the wall.  I spray painted it white.. and there it has sat on my floor all that time.  I ended up using that wall space for something else ... so we made a trade for it.  Everything works out well in the long run.

So here's the card I did for the swap.  Shhhhhhhh, don't tell cause I don't want them to see it yet.  LOL!  Yeah right!  I finished most of these last nite at the LSS midnite mania.   Had to wait til I got home to attach the sentiment since the printer there was out of ink.

Then I had stamped all of these images that I have from company called Stamp Affair .  Since I knew I was going to be working on cards all night, I went prepared.  This is what I ended up with after 5 hrs of scrapbooking.
