Oh, Scrap

After I finished creating on Sunday I had scraps and pieces that didn't work on my original cards everywhere.  As I was putting things away and throwing things out I decided to use 2 of the pieces to make a new card.  THIS is why my space never gets fully clean.  I clean to the point that I find something I just have to play with.  ;)

In this CASE I was about to throw out the pink woodgrain that I decided I didn't like and I uncovered the Seattle watercolor tag that didn't work on a card a few weeks ago.  Bingo Presto, I put them together and added a few sequins to make this card.  It's not my favorite card ever, but it's good enough to brighten someone's day.

Ok, so my stamp room looks like a bad case of "Hoarders", but there IS creativity going on in there.  Now, where did I put my scissors????

Supplies
Stamps: Hardwood (SU), Sending Love... (Impress)
Ink: Blushing Bride + ????
Misc.:  Clear Sequins (Pretty Pink Posh), Strawberry Slush Ruffled Stretch Trim (SU)

Playful Colors

Boy did I have fun in the stamp room last night!  I started out trying to clean up my mess and ended up making two fabulous cards.  That means two posts today.  :)  Scroll down to see my other card.

Don't you just love that Space Needle die cut?  I flipped when I saw it over on Amy Tsuruta's blog and asked her where she found it. She told me Impress in Tukwila, WA and then said she would die cut some for me and sent them to me.  Can you believe it?  What a nice thing to do!   I've met some of the nicest people through my blogging adventure.

This little beauty is the stamp I picked up from Impress.  You can order custom stamps with your city or state or country.  I'm thinking about buying a Washington stamp, since I don't live in Seattle. I added some washi tape to the banner so it would stand out behind the die cut.

Thanks again Amy for your generosity and for pointing me to my new favorite happy place.  Perhaps I will see you in the store someday.
