This summer has been so busy that I haven’t been able to set aside playing around time in my studio for a while. However, the stars lined up and today was the day.
Mr. Maui Stamper likes to come by and see how “Stampinella” is doing. It always cracks me up when he calls me that – I’m not sure if it’s because I’m covered in ink, or because my studio looks like the wicked Stepsisters came crashing through, tossing bits of paper everywhere. What I really need are those cute little mice and birds from Cinderella that come in and finish her dress for her (they would clean up for me, thank you), but what I end up getting is an orange tabby with a shedding problem who wants to spread across my workspace.
Mice, birds, and cats aside, here’s one of the projects I finished today:
- Best Friends Forever and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets
- Crumb Cake, Marina Mist, Naturals White and Soft Suede card stock
- Crumb Cake, Marina Mist and Soft Suede Classic ink pads
- Log Cabin Smooch Spritz
- Antique Brads
- Stampin’ Sponges
- Big Shot and Fun Flowers Bigz L dies
- XL Two Step Bird Punch
I am quickly falling in love with that Best Friends Forever stamp set, one of the sets we received in our convention bags. I initially thought it would be more of a teen set with that “BFF” image but THOSE LEAVES. Oh my goodness. I love those leaves. I put them on EVERYTHING.  I hope you like them because you are going to see a lot of them.
I wanted a more bronzed Antique brad but this was all that was left. There are more on the way, but I didn’t feel like waiting. Maybe I’ll change it out and maybe I won’t.  Sometimes the serendipity of the moment is just the thing, and I’m a big believer in Carpe Diem – Sieze the Day. If I waited, who knows what those Stepsisters would be up to? Letting the mice and birds in to torment the cat, that’s what they would do.
And how about that Smooch? It’s been sitting on the side of my desktop just waiting to be noticed. Good thing I looked.
