When life gives you lemons… go stamp!!!

Wow, it's been long handful of days since I posted last!  But, when life "happens" it sure happens!!  I can't get in to details right now, but  when I finally got home today Hubby kept trying to get me to take a nap and I couldn't get into my stamp room fast enough!!  This card took me HOURS (I kid you not!!), but in the end I didn't even care… stamping is the best therapy (2nd to praying of course, yup I've done alot of that this weekend too!!).  Back to the happy stuff!!!  This weeks Bloggers' challenge was a product showcase, use Designer Paper.  I know this is totally late but when I decided I was going to stamp something today, I decided to make it for my mom.  I picked this beautiful stamp set from Gina K, and just knew I'd have to use this dsp!!  I think when I saw this paper is when I first fell in love with Crate Paper.  For the image I used a technique called "thumping" just to give it a little texture.  That super fun button is from PTI and it had one bigger hole in the middle, so I tied my ribbon in a knot and threaded it through.  Thanks so much for popping in… hope you come back soon, Thursday kicks off sneak peeks for PMS' October Release!!!  Have a great week, hope to see you tomorrow!
