MIM #166

I think I had a case of ADD Saturday.  It all started when I couldn't find the sentiment I used on the first card I made for Make It Monday.  Dawn had a video on debossing stamped images and I did a card almost like hers.  I wasn't satisfied with it (the debossing didn't match the image very well ) and decided to do another one.  But where did the darn sentiment stamp set go?  I looked through everything and couldn't find it.  I had just gotten some more DVD holders and knew I put the new stamp set in one but it wasn't on my rack.  I also recently bought a label maker to put labels on my DVDs and decided to go ahead and do the labels and maybe the set would show up.  I got most of them done (I want to redo the ones I glued paper labels on) and no set turned up.

I also got a few new Distress Inks and while I was labeling them I decided to do Ink Swatches.  I started stamping with the new colors but needed labels for the swatch cards so I printed them up on the computer.  I think I got 5 or 6 swatches done when I had to break for supper.

I keep all my embossing folders, Cuttlebug plates and rubber mats in a big metal tin.  I got into it to get the stuff to deboss my image and guess what I found?  Yep, there it was - the missing stamp set.  It must have gotten swept off the desk with the plates when I made the initial card.  I wish after all of this the card was a little more exciting.

I used my NBUS butterfly stamp and die from PTI's Life is Beautiful in HA Soft Cantaloupe.  The sentiment from Stampendous is stamped in Soft Granite.

Now let's see.  Shall I check the challenges and make a couple of cards?  or should I finish my Ink Swatches?  I guess I'll check the challenges first and see if any light bulbs go off.  I can do the swatches some time when I'm watching TV.

Thanks for stopping by and listening to my tale.  I know we all have days like this but I hope yours are few and far between.
