My favorite tools-#1 my stamps!! I am the Queen of Stamps having been collecting them for more than 20 years! The Queen image on here resembles a 5 year old Polly And to be more specific...I love people images....where most of my SCS friends favor flowers I'm so taken with stamps that feature people.
#2 pretty papers-I love combining patterned papers..it's kind of its own challenge. The brown doily on this was cut from an old letter I received from my sister...I loved the paper and kept it for...well today's card I presume!
#3 my Cuttlebug-Embossing and die cutting are fun and impressive especially to those who aren't crafty.."how did you do that?"...Even my nephews who aren't all that artsy love to make a card if they can use the "machine" ;)

I love your collage, fun card! You certainly create such beautiful and interesting cards with the tools you love. You must have a zillion stamps, collecting them for 20 years! A fabulous card, Polly, with so many great elements.

Love your collage, Polly, showing you as the queen of stamps. : ) I love your work and the eclectic images you collect. I also am right there with you regarding favorite tools - stamps for me, hands down! I'm not nearly as focused as you are though; I just seem to love it all!

Fabulous to love stamps first! I guess where would we be without them, huh? I don't draw (very well anyway) I can paint, I can color but I have to have an image!! I think the only people stamps I have (almost) are little kids. I'm a collector too!
You have a very eclectic style I would say and your "people" fit very well! Love seeing your cards!

Love the collage look you created here. The color on your "queen" is so vintage and soft, and I love the row of people on the right side. Fun card, oh, ye queen of stamps!
