I finally managed to clear off my desk and stamp today! Yay! My sweet friend Lesley is a guest designer this week over at Scrapbooker's Paradise, so I decided to try their sketch with the awesome colors from colourQ this week. I thought they worked very well together and I love how my card turned out. I have been on a mission to make sure all my stamps are feeling loved, so today I used a retired set from the Summer Mini that I hadn't inked up yet. Now I'm sure you've never done this, but I thought I'd share how silly I am sometimes. I loved this set, but never had an order large enough to earn it. The day before the catalog expired I totally panicked at the idea of never owning it and put in an order to get it. It has sat unloved since I got it, so I don't know what I was thinking! :)

ReplyDeleteOh Rita, if I had a nickel for every stamp set I just had to own that never actually saw any ink I wouldn't be rich, but I'd have an awful lot of nickels! I'm glad you finally had the opportunity to use this one. It's perfect for these colors!
