Friends....
Vintage Vogue!
I am so excited about this card!!
I have been so sick again and lost my mojo
until this card....
 It took many hours of Blog Surfing
to find the right sketch and inspiration for this card.
I found the sketch on Pal's Paper Arts blog.
I love simple clean cut sketches.
This blog is awesome.
Tonight I was trying to design some of my upcoming
classes and really had no luck.
I hate it when I am in a creative rut
I get very fustrated and angry at myself
then I have to remind myself that stamping is my
favorite thing to do!
I hope to turn this card into a class or stamp camp!!

Just A Quick Post
I just wanted to let my blog followers know why I have
been Missing in Action. My Doctor is changing some of my medications
and I am feeling really tired
because of it. I feel better today so I am going to try and
stamp some cards and will post them later!
Thanks
