SAF 2012: Morning Make 'n Take

Yesterday (as I type) Papertrey Ink hosted an on-line crafting event called "Stamp-a-Faire". I was originally slated to go to the DFW area to craft with some of the wonderful ladies of North Texas; however, due to some projects at the office, I was unable to go. {insert sad song here}  Instead, I caught up on all the ironing, watched PTI's videos on the YouTube app on my DirecTV box and did a little bit of blog hopping.  I tried doing a little bit of crafting last night but hated what I did so I threw in the towel and went to bed.

Tonight after the girls went to bed, I broke out the stamping stuff and started working on my SAF projects. At this point, I have two completed and I think that's all I'm going to get done (despite an almost-three-hour nap this afternoon and a cup of coffee, I'm wiped out!!).

I did the Morning Make 'n Take while supervised by Harrison. He was so cute and encouraging. He's good for a momma's ego while she's trying to stamp and not really sure about it. "Mommy, it's beautiful and I want to give it to {insert about five different names here, he changed his mind every time}." I'd have to say I'm just "okay" with my card. I'm not super wild about the leaves. Really, I do need Turning a New Leaf. I see that now.  And I should've used the Fiskars Stamp Press when I stamped the vellum. The stamp slipped a teensy bit (hey, here are me and all my imperfections! Welcome to my real world)

Supplies PTI unless noted. Cardstock: Stampers Select White, Plum Pudding; Vellum is from my stash; Stamps: Rosie Posie, Tag-Its #3, Movers & Shakers Sentiments; Ink: Bamboo Leaves (Memento), Versafine Onyx Black (Tsukineko...one of these days I'll be able to spell that without googling it first), Plum Pudding, Raspberry Fizz, Harvest Gold, Fine Linen

I think we finally decided that we'll give this to GG for her birthday (next Monday). I'm looking forward to playing around with this process a little more, perfecting placement of flowers...and getting some new leaf stamps!

Thanks for stopping by!
