This is my card for Roxie (Rox71) who is today's Featured Stamper Challenge. Holy cow Roxie! I am so glad you were chosen today as you have long been deserving! This is the card of Roxie's I chose to case!
This is my story!
1. Seeing Roxie as Featured Stamper today was pretty much a no brainer for me as far as what I wanted to do on her card. Sketches!!! What else??? Snort! This really is alot different than what was originally in my head. Some original plans didn't pan out, so there ya go, its a *I was gonna day!*
2. Anyway, I was gonna do dots like Roxie did dots but I am sorta sick of dots! Bwahahaha! Not!! It's just alot easier to do a sketch layout in a square than a circle, so there ya go, I did squares today!
3. I was gonna do actual sketches from the sketch archives! The first one I did was Sketch #60. That idea lasted for one square! I was too lazy to go find the individual sketches, so there ya go, I just made up my own! Sorry Rox!!
4. I was gonna make my card very beautiful like Roxie's and use various colors but without even thinking about it I accidently did the first square in black and white and no way was I gonna re-do it, so there ya go, I did all black and white!
5. See these little tea-pots? It's a punch! I finally got to use my little teapot punch gift from Sabrina (Cook22)! This little tea-pot punch is one of those little border ones, it punches 3 teapots at a time! Its a world traveller too. Sabrina ordered it for me in the United States, it was shipped to Ireland, and then she shipped it back to me in the states! Hee! Thank you Sabrina, look how cute it is!!! I am so tickled to have it!
Congrats Roxie, you have been deserving of being the Featured Stamper from day one, Featured Stamper #1! I love that you are here today!

Wow, amazing what a cardmaker can do with a Sunday! Love the layout, the teapots. Must have made you sooo happy to get those, knowing how you have this thing for teapots...
Love it Cindy. You did sooo good and your story makes me smile still. You are the sweetest "nut" I know. TFS

This is way too cute, Cindy! Ha ha, I knew it was punch cause I have it, too! You did yourself proud w/ it. Did you piece together all those little bgs on the squares? Man I thought I was OCD w/ the detail thing, but you win. Fabulous job!
