Look Out!

I can't exactly say how long it's been since I stamped something that I enjoyed and was actually proud to say I've done. I've been in a FUNK lately and I haven't been able to get out and nothing I touched would turn out well.

I finally got my first order from the new SU! catalog Monday and I had ordered the Washington Apple paper on a whim. I wasn't even sure if I'd like it. Turns out, I LOVE IT.

I immediately made these cards and I liked them so well I decided we'd do them at stamp club this month.



Then I got my Urban Garden paper last night which has been on backorder and made these cards and low and behold I luffed them too! So again, stamp club. WOOOHOOO!!



I agreed in the spring to do a Christian Women's Retreat at Camp Lakeview a local Christian camp. (Hey I bet you coulda figured that part out without me actually pointing it out couldn't ya?) Anyway it's getting CLOSE and I've been trying to decide what I should do. Cards? Alterables? Then the other night it hit me. It's a Christian Women's Retreat. How cool would it be to make altered prayer journals? Then I decided we also needed to make bookmarks, and I'm hoping to throw in a few cards. (I'm waiting on a glorious friend to send me the set I want to use...it was INCREDIBLY nice of her to offer to send it to me since she doesn't use it :):):))

So today I sat down and started working on it. I decided I'll just use whatever random designer papers I have laying around and while each persons cards/bookmark and journal will all coordinate they won't all be the same papers that way I don't have to spend money buying all the same kind of paper. Here is the example I made today, that I'll probably keep for myself!
