For this week's Tea Party, Miss Cindy has invited us on a picnic to Mississippi, but the spot she picked is infested by bears. I've found us a new spot, with rolling, pine-covered hills (possibly in North Mississippi, but definitely not in South Mississipi, I'd say.) I also borght along some extra picnic baskets.
(Want to join our pic-a-nic? See post 197 Forums at Splitcoaststampers)
I got both these stamps in a DRS grab bag at a stamp show a couple years ago -- this is the first time either has ever been inked. Luckily I remembered them, as they were still in a baggie, waiting to be indexed.

I love those baskets, just think of all the things we can fill them with. It's blackberry picking time here, for starters, and blueberries with any luck. I like your rolling hills, too.

Hey! You go girl! You combined Plan A and Plan C! Woot! I think you get an award! If we can get those extra special treats outa the clutches of Barney, you get first dibs on the goodies!
What a fun little card...and I feel so good that these little stamps finally saw some ink! You index your stamps? Is that a technique? Never mind, I don't do techniques and indexing sounds too hard anyway! I betcha you are more organized than me! Hee!

Sounds like those baskets are needed by some of our more active guests. I think I will just sit under a pine tree and enjoy the mayhem. The ribbon was the perfect choice.
