I had to jump on board....

After several months of daily surfing on other blogger's sites I decided, "lets give it a try too!" Thanks to my dear friend Juanita of http://www.blogger.com/rubbersidedown-schmoopie.blogspot.com for introducing me to her blog, it led me on to find so many more crafter's with the same interests as myself. I'm so glad there are other people out there that share the same passion, and are willing to share there knowledge and tips with everyone around the world. Personally, I enjoy card making as my #1 hobby, and #2 collecting everything else there is to create it!

Lately I've been trying to make a few all-occasional cards just to have on hand. Here are two I've CASEd(Copy and Share Everything), One is from http://stamplikecrazy.blogspot.com/2008/08/wild-about-you-baby-card.html & the second is http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1168322 by tankgrl.

I wasn't entirely happy with how the SU ink stamped onto the white paper I had. To me it looked blotchie and I couldn't seem to get a good solid image no matter how much ink I had on my stamp.

Here is a close up of the elephant, I used a pop dot dimensional for it's ear.
