I've decided to change the deadline for getting your card linked to Fridays at 10PM, mainly because I always forget about it on Thursday (I kinda roll like that, I guess). I'll post the weekly winners on Saturday afternoons or evenings for you. Hope you all will enjoy the extra day - all of us procrastinators need to keep ourselves afloat somehow, right??
Can you tell I have minimal stamping on my card?? I had stamper's block, so I decided to use a piece of Sweet Pea paper and use the Out of the Box technique for Nestabilities to keep the butterfly in tact. This is one of those techniques I KNOW I should have done a million times before now, but I didn't know how to do it - thanks SCS for keeping all of us "slower than the Jones" stampers in the loop - bwahaha! The minute I read the tutorial, I slapped my forehead so hard I gave myself a headache. Nice, huh? haha!
I'll be doing a blog makeover here soon, so if you come by and things look a little crazy, that's why. Can't wait to fix it!
