It's been almost a week since I've posted ... or stamped for that matter. Between the day job, out-of-town company, and preparing for an upcoming class there's been no time for stamping or blogging. I spent most of yesterday cutting paper for Monday's stamp class, and got to stamp a little last night. Boy, was I rusty! It took me forever to get this design to come together!I used Jen del Muro's Sketch For You To Try, Thoughts and Prayers and Bella Birds DP. I wonder why they named this designer paper Bella Birds, anyway?! There's not a single bird in the design!
I hope to be stamping and posting again regularly after Monday's stamp class, as I am on Spring Break this week! woohoo! I'll also be back tonight with another selection of iPICKS!
