This week's One Layer Wednesday challenge by Susan was simply "Back to the Beginning". What technique or product got me hooked on cardmaking? I thought and thought - but I suddenly realized that I was trying to come up with a technique or product to make a card for this challenge - not the one that got me hooked. Because the simple truth was that it was the stamps that hooked me. I don't have an artistic bone in my fingertips. I can't draw a stick figure. Even trying my hardest, I don't have handwriting that can create a beautiful sentiment - it's not even legible. I had no way to create art. Rubber stamps did that for me. Even I can create miniature works of art!!
Check out my blog for further details on this card and for a weeklong series on church card ministries.

I read your write up and saw myself in it.. I often say I can't even draw stick figures..lol.
I agree w/ you.. I LOVE stamps...but.. I only like and use wood mounted ones.. I don't own an unmounted at all.
This card is lovely.. so simple in design but so eye catching.
TSMFSWU!!!
