I was browsing through our LSS yesterday, hoping I wouldn't see anything I really liked (and I think I may not be the only one who does that...you know who you are), and ran across what I thought is some really exciting paper by Graphic 45...colorful, versatile, in-your-face Beautiful paper. Well, that blew my mission. And as I walked past it, it jumped...literally jumped, into my hand (believe it!). So I took it home to live with me. Once we were home I cut it all apart into separate houses (it may have regretted it's afore mentioned eagerness to come home with me), added various levels of foam tape to each piece and stacked them in their proper positions on the Blackberry Bliss (one of my favorites). Then I glued on the sprigs and hid their bases behind some extra strips of the Graphic 45 paper. The preserved sprigs are great because they really don't shed all their little parts, unless you really have to wrestle with them...but then this is just part of learning patience and control, something always needed in living a life. Lastly I added the Birthday sticker. Just have to send it.

Well.....I see the lovely and talented Anne Ryan prompted you to get off your, um, derrière and treat us to a new card.....and I see you've responded with an utterly jaw-droppingly fabulous creation. I've never seen anything like this......it's truly gorgeous.......TFS!
PS.....I too have had items jump right into my hand when I'm in my LSS.....a truly phenomenal occurrence.

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
life is something that happens only when you run out of cardstock
