And here's my card. I know I know...you were thinking it was going to be yet another Christmas card and I did think about it. But I wanted to play with my brand new stamps more!
Speaking of brand new stamps. Here's what I ordered. This is my first Inkadinkadoo purchase. I had to have those chandeliers. And while I was at it I needed the others too...
Okay the truth is my local Hobby Lobby doesn't stock Cuttlebug folders very well. They've had the same 8 since last year --HA! Anyway I really wanted that diamond plate one so I could make a really cool masculine card..uh I digress. I searched online for it and this site happened to have the three plates I wanted and the chandelier stamp. Kismet, right? It arrived today!
And I've been feeling a little crappy (queasy-which is good it means things are going well) in the afternoons and sleeping instead of scrapping, but today I am doing good so I broke out the mojo and made a card! Thanks for stopping by y'all!
Oh and a note about the stamps: I could not get them to take ink, it kept beading up. I finally remembered some hint about rubbing a pencil eraser on them and they finally worked!
Oh and also a sweet Little d story: She asked me today if that baby was already growing in my belly and I said yes. She said "awww, that's so sweet. I love that little baby."
Details: all CTMH unless noted
Paper: Aspen Level II, Creme Brulee cs, Desert Sand cs
Ink: Creme Brulee, Chocolate
Stamps: lantern (Inkadinkadoo), Happy Birthday
Other: sanding block, adhesive pearls

And thanks for showing me YET another stamp I NEED. That chandelier looks just like the one I bought in the medina and now hangs in my foyer!
Hugs!!

Awww... how cute is Little d????
My first set of Inkadinkado was birds. I couldnt get them to ink either, and I must've done the pencil eraser thing incorrectly because that wasn't working for me either, I finally sanded them with fine grit sandpaper from my mousesander... lol though I did do it by hand... I'm not crazy!!!
Your card is absolutely beautiful!
Such a pretty card!
Ohhh good...nausea is good!!!!LOL
Little d is too cute!
I LOVE the chandeliers...very elegant.
I find I have trouble with beading ink on certain makes of stamps...sadly it seems to happen only with my CTMH inks..I will have to try the eraser trick.
Get some rest!!!
