Finally

I finally have something I can show you.  I have really been struggling over the last two weeks with my stamping.  The first week, I spent every night at my desk trying to create something, but nothing ever materialized in my head.  It was pretty depressing.  Then I started looking at some blogs for ideas and thought I came up with something, went to my stamping desk and nothing.  But my two little girls went down for a nap early and at the same time, so I had some time this morning and I figured I would try to stamp again, and I created something.  I am so excited to have something to share even though I am not completely, entirely happy with it. 

Above is the sketch for the Diva Coffee Break Designs challenge for this week.   I used my favorite stamp set from the Summer Mini.  It was just one of the ones that as soon as I saw it I knew I had to get it no matter what.  I love the combination of solid and line art images.  I am not 100% sure on the color combo now that it is done.  When I was trying to pull out colors to start with they looked great together, but maybe I used too much of the Daffodil, it just isn't sitting perfect, but I am so happy to have created something decent.  

I am off to go try some more stamping while the girls are still asleep!

WOW.....

I need to stamp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It has been approximately 1 month 2 days and 19 hours since I last had the chance to stamp.  The last month has definitely has had it shares of ups and downs, it began with the wedding of my sister, had two funerals, spring break and all of the end of the year projects and tests that the kids are working on.  But I have made it a point to sit down and stamp tonight!  Nothing is going to get in my way and I mean nothing.  Even if I have to stamp by flashlight because the power goes out for the 3rd time in a week.  I NEED to stamp!

I went looking through my pictures of projects that I have already on the computer and of course everything that I have that I could show you uses product from the Occasions Mini Catalog that expired a week and a half ago so for now I am going to show you a challenge.  Of course many of you know that it is Diva Coffee Break Designs Wednesday so here is the sketch for this week.  I do not have a card to go with it at the moment but I will tomorrow, because I AM GOING to STAMP tonight!
