Special Inspiration Challenge

Last night when I saw today's SCS Inspiration challenge from Grandin Road, I decided to look for a piece that inspired me and "sleep on it". I chose an area rug from the indoor floral section. As soon as I saw the Soho Area rug in beige & black, (on my screen, the beige reminded me of river rock), I knew exactly which stamp I wanted to use. The funny thing is that I had forgotten I had this stamp. But last evening while watching a movie, I spent some more time mounting stamps on EZ Mount and indexing my binders... and this Unity stamp caught my eye.

Well, I didn't wake up until 1:09 PM!!! That's right. DH was gone to work and I hardly remember him talking to me this morning. DS was up watching TV and hadn't eaten (He's alomst 14 but has many special needs). I quickly took care of him, took some meds for my migraine, and got to work. Thankfully I caught the migraine early and I was making this card!!! I happen to love it. But what do you think? (That sounded like my SCS friend Faith. LOL! But she's a good person to follow. *wink*)

Stamps: Tree of Elegance by Unity, sentiment from Inkadinkado's Best Wishes set
Colors: river rock, black
Accessories: brads, Martha Stewart lace border punch

Hi... I'm back! Wow... 2 days in a row!

LOL! Spring break is great for relaxing and stamping. We never take a vacation during this time because hubby and I have spring break at different times.

I love today's SCS sketch challenge #223. This took much more thinking and time than I thought it would . I know I'll use this sketch again in the future... but maybe an image in the small box.

Stamps: Say It with Scallops, Ginormous Flowers, Stitched Exotics
Paper: certainly celery, garden green, white, celery DSP, SAB-DP
Ink: certainly celery, garden green, bashful blue, pretty in pink

Happy Spring Flowers (I'm really tired of the snow IRL!)

Going back to work has really cut down on my stamping and computer time. As I settle in to more of a routine, I'll get back to more consistent posting. Thank for looking!
