More is More

It’s been another busy week and Curt has been out of town yet again.  He comes home tonight and I’m hoping he’s done traveling for awhile.  I’m really glad he’s coming home as I’m feeling just a bit pouty about not going to CHA in Chicago even though it was really all my decision.  It seemed like absolutely everyone was flying out yesterday and I was very much regretting my decision to stay behind.  One of my sweet friends convinced me to just check airfares.  I figured it couldn’t hurt – they would be astromically high and that would be that.  But nooooooooooooooooooooooo….I actually found a very reasonable airfare at a good time.  Well that sent me into a tailspin of trying to evaluate if I could actually manage to leave in less than 24 hours.  I spent almost half the day agonizing and weighing out all the factors that I could think of.  I’ve never been one to fly by the seat of my pants or do much of anything spontaneously, so I was quite proud of myself for even considering such a thing, but in the end here I am at home.  And it’s really ok…I think.

Before I head out for work this morning I wanted to take a minute to share another Anna Wight Whipper Snapper card that I actually made last week using Blossoms and Butterflies and Blooming Expressions.

As soon as I saw this particular flower image I wanted to stamp it in a row for some reason.  Don’t ask me where I came up with this crazy color combo – I honestly have no idea.  I cannot remember the last time I used Handsome Hunter, but I wanted to use a different green that what I gravitate toward all the time.  The flowers are stamped on Kraft cardstock and the blossoms are colored with a white gel pen.  The sentiment is embossed with white craft ink and white ep (*Where flowers bloom so does hope*).  Cardstock colors are:  Handsome Hunter, Regal Rose, Black, White, Kraft.  This card is very different for me, which is fun.  These two stamp sets have inspired me to just PLAY which I need to do a lot more often.

I need to get to work now.  Thanks for stopping by.  Be sure to come back tomorrow for Taylor’s Cupcake Friday Sketch Challenge.
