So I got together this past weekend with some other stamping fanatics and online friends and we had a blast! It was so nice to be with folks who "get" cardmaking and stamping.
Although I spent most of that time chatting and getting acquainted with my supplies, I did manage to get three cards made. *hangs head in shame* yeah...only three.
And this one was the hardest. It just wasn't working for me, so I would put it aside and come back to it later only to discover I couldn't "fix" it. *grumble*
Finally, Tara, genius that she is, suggested stamping the same BG again in white, instead of in a darker ink like I had planned. LOVE the way it looks 3D now...the lighter berry ink underneath and to the right of the white ink makes it look really neat.
Good friends, good food, good conversation + stamps = FABULOUS TIME!
Thanks for stopping by today,
*mwah*

And I totally agree that Jennifer had lovely hair. Maybe cos I've always wanted the ability to have blonde hair. Hah!
