I am actually amazed I stamped today. I am not really supposed to stamp, or read, or drive. May as well end it for me. I unfortunately have a bone spur in my neck that is a result of my death defying car accident back in May of '99. It has moved and is now pressing up against a major nerve. That pinched nerve I have been complaining about for about 3 months now is actually this bone spur creating the problem. I go Wednesday to find out when I will have the surgery to have it removed. In the mean time I had to stamp. I hurt, but I feel better I created something.
This is for yesterday's Featured Stamper 78 Michelle (Shellapoo). I was inspired by this Honey Bee Bear.Gallery at Splitcoaststampers I couldn't really stamp yesterday because of the pain. So I waited to see what today's challenge was and this is what I came up with. The only thing I took from Michelle's card was the honey bee bear so I don't know if it even qualifies as a Featured Stamper case.
Of course this is also for today's Technique Challenge 180 Square Spring Card. What a neat little card!!
I used the Paper Tole Technique in making the bear and the Negative Affect with the Cuttlebug for the bottom of the card. The Honey Bear is from High Hopes Stamps.
What do you think??

Oh Michelle - sorry to hear about all of your pain!! Really sorry to hear about that!! It really makes life difficult!! I've having a fair bit of pain from an ulcer - and maybe something more - I don't know- and while I am sure it is nothing compared to the kind of pain you are suffering with - I do understand how the pain takes it out of you!! Let us know when you get your surgery date!! I hope it soon, and I'll keep you in mind!!
