Annie is Thoughtful

I think the little girl on my card today is so cute.  Maybe because she lacks a mouth.  She is Annie from Stamping Bella.  I received several similar stamps in the mail today.  I love the designs but they`re tricky to use.  They don`t adhere to my acrylic blocks and are rubber but unmounted.  I had to use tweezers and more than one try to get a clear print image to watercolour.  I used a page from my watercolour pad and when she was dry I trimmed her with tiny scissors.  I need to come up with a better way to use these stamps.

The girls and I went to the pharmacy and Walmart this afternoon.  I couldn`t resist the scrap booking aisle and came away with more glue dots and a circle cutter.  There were a couple of models and I made myself purchase the less expensive model by Martha Stewart.  The other candidate was almost twice the price and pink.  I love pink, but not that much.  I also picked up a few new inks for edge shading die cuts. 

Always something new to try.  I spend almost as much time planning and accumulating as I do actually crafting the cards.

Kennedy picked up his first pair of rubber galoshes today.  It was hard to convince him to put his winter boots back on so I could pay for the rubbers.  He found the boots exciting.  Shopping for tops and sweaters not so much.  We had tears then. 

I`ve a very busy day planned for tomorrow so I`ll be off to bed early tonight.  Oh - maybe I have time to work on one more of those stamps!
