I know I'm Not Alone....

If you're a crafter, you've been there. You have a vision, you start to stamp, cut and glue -- and lo and behold, the end product turns out nothing like your original plan. This card is the result of one of these occasions for me.

All stamps are CTMH (Cottage Floral and Checklist) and the peachy coloured panel is embossed with the Cuttlebug. The green ribbon doesn't quite match, so I might actually re-piece the flower so that it does. To give you some idea of my original vision, the card was intended to be horizontal -- but I suppose sometimes you just have to go with the flow.

Getting my Groove Back

So June is looking to be a pretty productive month for me stamping wise. I've managed to make about 15 cards so far -- and this is awesome considering my stamping sessions have been few and far between to say the least until very recently.

Here's one inspired by the cover of the Close To My Heart Summer Idea Book. I thought the page accent on the featured scrapbook layout was just too darn cute not to duplicate! It's true there was a lot of fiddly cutting involved, but it was totally worth it -- or at least I think so.
