Hello, World!
I’ve finally decided it’s time for me to get with the program and start a blog. When I do get around to creating some cards and such with my rubber stamping supplies, I plan to share them here. So if you’re just looking for all my deep, dark, dirty secrets… too bad! You won’t find them here. 
I thought I’d start with one of my favorite older cards. LOL, this is so old, it’s from when I still used a scanner instead of photographing my creations. This is a valentine I created back in 2007. It’s hard to see the Linen background stamp on it. Because the Everyday Flexible Phrases set didn’t have a “be” stamp, I inked only the first two letters of the “best” stamp. I used a heart-shaped cookie cutter to get the heart shape the size I wanted it for the focal image, and then I eyeballed cutting the rose mat around it.
I just realized it’s probably kinda weird showing a valentine right before Halloween. Oh well.
