Yet another monthly blog theme I'd like to try to add in is a forgotten stamp day. I have all these stamps and they fall into a few categories. They are: 1)I use them all the time, reach for them over and over, 2)new and I either want to use them right away or new and just haven't mounted them yet so the poor things don't get inked or 3)older stamps that I've forgotten about. Many that fall into the 3rd category would be my mounted stamps. I seem to reach for the unmounted right away that I forget about all the stamps I acquired before I went unmounted.
This was a quick little card I made using an old Hero Arts stamps that I had. Do you know, I'm not sure I ever used this stamp at all. And I embarrassed to tell you how long I've had it!!
The stamp was colored with prismacolor markers and I used chalk for the two words. Other than that, some slab paper and ribbon and there ya go.
Are mornings as crazy in your house as they are in mine? I think negotiating outfits for the day has to be almost as difficult as fixing the economy! My children, especially Meghan, would wear summer clothes all year if I let them. The problem is we have winter. So this morning went as usual....
Me: Are you dressed?
Meg: Yep. How's this? (Now its 15 degrees out and she's got a skirt, short sleeve top and if she could slide them by me, flip flops).
Me: Are you nuts???
Please tell me I'm not the only one going through this. The upside is, come summer, we'll be in complete agreement!
I love this card! It is simple but classy and bright and happy! I'm going to case it! Nancy

So pretty Laura! I love that card! Mornings are just crazy here too! I'd wear flip flops year round if I could - but it's just too darn cold!

No you are not alone. I remember going through that same conversation with my daughter:). Love the card and great idea. I need to go through and see what stamps I haven't used in awhile.

I would dress like Meghan all year if I could too - but I live in the NE so I digress. hehe. Great card Laura. The colors are stunning together.
