Hi! This card was made for today's Ways To Use it Challenge: Stuck on You. (Participants were to use stickers on their cards.)
I used to scrapbook EVERY day. That was BEFORE I decided that it was WAY too expensive. I had BOXES of stickers and sticker alphabets. I didn't even use my computer for ANYTHING! YIKES! I stamped on my pages, but I usually used stickers. Until one day I thought about putting my poems onto the pages. Well, that's when I realized I didn't need sticker alphabets for my sentiments/titles. I just used my computer! DUH! Then, I gravitated toward stamps and realized that I could purchase 2 entire sets for what I spent on stickers in one trip! And, as a bonus, the stamps were reusable! DUH again!
So, the stickers got donated to the cub scouts. The Alphabet stickers were given to the school. I filled their spots, and all the other spots available with stamps! Hmmm....Now I'm wondering if that was the right path to take! Nope, I like this one, just fine!
I kept back just a few of my favorite BIG hyacinth stickers. I stuck it to a scrap of white and cut it out. Next, I adhered it to the oval with foam tape. I stamped the flourishes in the corners in VersaMark and embossed in gold. The sentiment is also embossed in gold.

My path has been parallel to yours! I had to really look to find the sticker I used today! I love your hyacinths...I can almost smell them from here!
