Me thinks this card is a tad too busy...... I went totally crazy with the paper piecing business... at some point it just went to the point of no return... Maybe I'll put this thru Stamping Critique and see what can be done to savage this.
Sorry guys, I'm uber busy with month end stuff as well as audit for a fellow manager. So, this is going to be short.
To answer Heather's question about what I bought in Vegas: I got some shirts at one of the discount boutique. Also got some cheesy souvenir T-shirts for myself and family members. Most of my money went to the yummy food that's available there. We missed out on Zappos' outlet. :( But, I did put down $40 on the slots and got zero back. Boo!!!

Orange flower
So, while I am waiting for my new Verve stamps to arrive. I did an oldie but goodie. I'm telling you that flower they have is so versatile, I've never had so much fun to ink the same image over and over and over and over. Talk about inking for my money's worth.
I think this weekend is the first in a while where I have nothing planned... hopefully, it'll stay that way so I can stamp more. Plus, all the new ones I brought back from Vegas. They're begging to be stamped.
Alright, better go back to the grind stone, I'm here holding down the fort once again.

Cukoo
I know birds and owls are all the range these days... so when I saw these cute owls I have to have it! I need new embellishments like I need a hole in my head, but let me tell you, it truly makes me happy.
So, anyhoo... I made this card for work's card drive, which is to be donated to either Children's hospital or Veteran hospital. I think it's cute... I'd love to get a card like that. Not that I'm tuning my own horn or anything. =P
Anyway, talking about materialism and buying more of the same thing. Well, not exactly the same. But, did you all see that Verve got new stamps? I can't help myself and bought some. So, hopefully they'll get here soon.
In other news, I got my contract and W-9 from Paper Crafts, so I'm thinking I'm getting near to be published... I'm stoked! Keep your fingers crossed for me!
4 down 1 to go, weekend is almost here!

Popsicle
Well, it's summer time... so it's only appropriate to have something Summer-related to show.
You know when I stamped this I was wondering when was the last time I had a Popsicle. It must be a while if I can't even remember... I do remember when I was younger, my parents would let me buy them and stock them in the fridge. That I do remember.
Anyway, I think I deserves a pop, but it'll just go directly to my waistline, so I'm kinda ok not having it...

Have some flowers...
Well, right before I left for Vegas, I got my new MFT stamps. So, I can't wait to ink it up when I got back.
It was the one with the dogs... I'm personally is a cat person, but I do have a lot of friends who are dog lovers, so it's natural to get it for them. But, the more I looked at it, the more I'm thinking, the lady doesn't have to be holding leash to dogs... she can be holding whatever she wants... say, some flowers. :P
So, here she is... holding flowers. I'm trying to find a purse stamp that is in proportion to her, so she can be holding a purse. Oooh, what about shopping bags... this is so cool!!!

I'm Baaaaaaaaaack...
Well, let me tell you, 4 days in the dessert (read: Las Vegas) I'm ready to come home. While home is not cooler than the dessert and as a matter of fact the humidity can suck out the will to live. I'm glad to be home. You never realize how much you miss this stew kind of weather until your hand is always crack from being in the dry dessert and no matter how much lotion you put on, it's still bad.
Anyway, have a little braggin' to do... I went to Viva Las Vegas Stamp. Our trick is to take the Monorail and ride it to the end, then take a cab there. It worked out well, because you can always get a cab from a hotel. However, coming back wasn't so much. You call for a cab and it takes them 30 mins to get there. Guess, if you're off strip or not near a hotel they don't want to do your business. And ironically there's actually no cabs on the road outside of the touristy area. Go figure.
Anyway, this store, you walk it, it is stuffy because there's alot crammed into a tiny space, and the a/c is not cranking hard, which I can understand in Vegas. But, we're spoiled. The owner has 3 cats and 2 dogs, and his office cannot find a piece of paper around there, it's cluttered. Luckily, the stamp display isn't. You know someone had maticulously lined up the stamps nice and neat. They mostly sell their own stamps, some of them are funny, some of them you know no one would want unless is for some very very particular occasions. What they're known for is the clever sayings. So, I got alot of those. I mean, everything is alphabetized, and talk about got tons to go thru. Just to read thru them and try to find the messages is hard. But, if you need something smart-allic, you can find it there.
Here's couple of pics from the cashier's stand point (the place shapes like an L):
And here's a card I made with my new found stamps. DH just recently started to get into Hockey, and there's not a lot of Hockey stamps out there. So, here's one I made for him. :) Plus, he has Shingles and is being quarentined outside of the bedroom, so here's a constellation prize. :P
Have a cool day!

Cheers
Oy, this morning turned out very very lousy. Got my car towed, got hung up on by some very rude lady, had to tell 2 employees they're violating rules and have to pay back. Talk about things hitting the fan.
I really wish I had stayed in bed or stayed home to stamp, especially when I got some new MFT stamps that are begging to be inked.
Anyway, on to the card! This is a card I made for work's volunteer thing, where we make cards for hosptial patients. Well, I hope that we can make someone happy... :)

Please check back for some pics! :)
