I hadn't played along yet with this week's
Fab Friday challenge, plus I have been stalking another new-to-me challenge and decided it was time to play with the
Simply Stampin' Challenge. I pawed through my pile of new-stamps-that-will-not-be-put-away-until-they-see-ink and came up with this fun blimp!!
Do you remember years and years ago when stapling things was the in embellishment? I had purchased a fun stapler from Close To My Heart that rotated and did all kinds of funky things - then promptly misplaced it. I had a bit of a disaster yesterday (actually a fairly major disaster) with a very large glass of spilled water across my entire craft desk - BUT when I got to crawling around under the desk to find everything damaged by the dripping - guess what I found? The stapler!!! So...anything that I made today had to include staples!
- Stamps: Stampin' Up Moving Forward
- Paper: Stampin' Up Night of Navy CS and dsp (the older, retired patterns), Wild Wasabi CS and dsp, Very Vanilla CS and Rich Razzleberry dsp
- Ink: Stampin' Up Night of Navy, Rich Razzleberry and Wild Wasabi
- Accessories: Stampin' Up Bitty Banners Framelit, Nestabilities dies, misc brads
Really cute card!! Lee-Ann :)

ReplyDeleteI just love your work and this pretty card caught my eye yesterday as I was blog hopping. It's fabulous!
Your "my pile of new-stamps-that-will-not-be-put-away-until-they-see-ink " expression made me laugh, I do exactly the same thing, but my pile is not diminishing very quickly, lol!
