More is More

Oh my goodness!  I cannot believe it’s August already!!!

Let’s see if I can get this post up while it’s still Monday.  I’m not sure why I always end up typing blog posts at midnight!  I just thought I’d take a minute to share an old old card from my stash that I actually sent out in the mail recently.  Do you have a stash of cards you’ve made over the years?  I’ve found it’s really best not to hoard them too much, because as time goes on I tend to not like cards as much years later.  Styles change and so on.  And yet I do have boxes and boxes of cards I’ve created.  I’m sure this card must be in my SCS gallery lately, but i thought it was easier to snap a new photo than try to find it there.

I really have no idea when I made this card, but it was before I owned any Spellbinders, back in the day of Marvy punches (I still have them!) Also before Copics – I watercolored this (I miss watercoloring – really enjoy it more than Copics if I’m honest.) And pretty much everything on this card is from SU (I still kind of miss being a Demo for them.)  Although this is not a card I would make today (not quite like this anyway), I actually still like it.  In fact I’m wanting to dig out that adorable image and play with it (if I could find it.)  And this was sent out in the mail with much love – and really that’s what card making is all about (or should be anyway!)

There is so much going on this week in stamping land!  Dare to Get Dirty is on over at Splitcoaststampers.  I’m hosting one of the challenges later in the week.  If you’re a Fan Club Member, you should definitely play along!  Lots of fun!  If you’re not a Fan Club Member, it’s not too late to join!

Also this week is the August release at Taylored Expressions (Thursday 8 am PST) and sneak peeks started this morning.  I didn’t get anything done to play along today, but I’ll have samples for the rest of the week.  Tomorrow morning a set I concepted is being showcased, so I’m especially excited!  I hope you’ll join us in the morning!

Thanks for stopping by!  Sweet dreams!
