Stamp Adultry Support Group

I just got back today from my fun overnight stamping trip. We made a ton of cards! I also used a blender pen for the first time since the aquapainters came out with SU!. Everyone had great ideas/great cards to CASE from SCS. I will be posting all week from what we made yesterday and today.

I REALLY like the SU! set "Embrace Life". I love how it coordinates with the "Ginger Blossom" paper perfectly. In the past year I've branched out a tiny bit and tried stamps from some other companies. I've found that I LOVE the storage and the easy placement use of acrylic stamps, but I absolutely still prefer old rubber and wood. I really had a hard time stamping "Just because" on this card, because it was not an SU card. I think I need to start a support group for people who also have trouble combining stamps from different companies on their cards!

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Thanks for looking at my blog!

Here is the recipe:

Stamps: Embrace Life from SU!, Mixed Messages from Papertrey Ink

Embrace Life

Well, I joined the stamping bandwagon and purchased this set! The Eastern Eclectic style is really growing on me. This card was inspired by or you can say I CASED it off this card posted on splitcoast http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/769695?cat=12243. I cut out the flower blooms and popped them up just a tad with a glue dot. I also finally was happy using groovy guava...I'm still trying to like that color!!!

This will be my last post for a few days as I'm getting ready for a fun weekend of stamping at a lake cottage in Michigan with some of my good stamping/scrapping friends - we have done this the last few Februarys. One of the best things to come out of this hobby is the relationships I've developed. I've become good friends with people who I may never crossed paths with at all. I've also been able to become friends with people I've never met with my blogging friends on the internet. I would just like to say how grateful I am for all the friends I have made through this great hobby! Have a great rest of the week and weekend! Keep warm!
