Confessions of a Scrapbook Kit Hoarder…#5

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to my new blog series, “Confessions of a Scrapbook Kit Hoarder“. If you haven’t already, please read The Intervention so you can understand the inspiration for this craft project.

My second card from the September kit

My second card from the September kit

Today I wanted to share my second card I made using the September kit. I used one of my stamps from Flourishes.  I love Flourishes stamps. They are so elegant and fun to color. I also used one of my cute border dies that shhh I have had for a year and hadn’t cracked the seal!! So I am now seeing the benefits of this challenge in other ares of my stash.  Great news for me.

I will be back on Monday with another project and hopefully a wrap up of my September kit so I can start planning and work on the October kit… No pressure right?

Have a fabulous weekend and keep crafting!!

What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – #220

Hello Everyone!

Stamping up images for fall line of paper products.

Stamping up images for fall line of paper products.

Happy WOYWW! Last week I received visits from some great people and it sure felt nice.  Thanks for taking the time to write a thing or two to me.  I enjoy reading them.

I am in a bit of a funk…I don’t know if I told you but I hurt my left foot a while back and have been seeing a doctor to figure out what to do.  I don’t even know when and how I did it but I ignored it for longer than I should (because I am superwoman after all) and now I think I am paying for that.  I went for x-rays and a lot of really bad stuff was ruled out but now she is thinking I either tore something or it’s on the verge of it. So it has been wrapped and I am wearing inner soles in my sneakers to see if we can heal it.  I hate the waiting and wondering when it will be better.

Enough of my sob story and on to my desk.  The boys start back to school in a few weeks so I am getting organized to create a fall line of paper products for my Etsy store which has been abandoned all summer.  So I am stamping up images and preparing to color them up for some cards.

Love love love these stamps

I am using some of my favorite stamps from Flourishes.  They are so pretty even if you don’t feel like coloring them.  Beautiful detail.  My desk is a mess so I spared you a wider view.

Well I have taken up too much time and since I shouldn’t be moving around a lot, I will definitely be visiting desks over the next few days.

If you haven’t learned about this amazing creative journey you can take every Wednesday, then head on over to Julia’s Stamping Ground and you will find desks from all around the world for What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday.

Have a blessed day!
