Whew!! Made it by the seat of my pants!

Okay, so I have been on vacation and just got home yesterday morning at 2am.  So, that means no crafting for the past 10 days....but, I've made up for my crafting sabbatical since I got home.

Yesterday I made 13(!) ATCs (that's Artist Trading Cards for those of you not familiar with ATCs) for a swap that I'm involved in and just five (yes 5!) minutes ago I decided to enter a card in the Fresh Squeezed Stamps Squeeze-A-Palooza card challenge #8.  You might be thinking "What's the big deal about entering a card in the Squeeze-A-Palooza card challenge?"  Well, since you asked.....

The challenge closes in a little over 4 hours so I am definitely making it "by the seat of my pants"....capri pants of course, it is almost summer!  And speaking of summer (how convenient), the theme for the FSS Squeeze-A-Palooza challenge is "SUMMER".

I am also entering the card in the Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge #82 and the Twist of Faith Clean and Simple (CAS) Challenge #39. 

Alrighty - here is the card:

 

Supplies used:

Fresh Squeezed Stamps - Happy Hexagon stamp set

Sentiment - Kraftin' Kimmie "Little Orphan Annie" stamp set

Cardstock - Bazzill Basics (my fave)

Flower stem - Stampin' Up "Send Me Soaring" stamp set

button and twine - my stash

****NOW ABOUT THAT GIVEAWAY****

Last week I received a package from Kraftin' Kimmie with a second Isadora stamp set enclosed.  When I contacted Kraftin' Kimmie to let her know that I had received the duplicate stamp, she suggested that I keep the stamp and offer it as a giveaway on my blog.  So, you have a chance to win this stamp set just by leaving a blog comment on this post.  Be sure that you either leave your email in the comments or that it is part of your blogger profile so I can contact you if you win.  I will pick a winner on Friday, May 17.  Let's give a big thanks to Kraftin' Kimmie for sponsoring this giveaway and be sure to look at all the cute stamps on the Kraftin' Kimmie website (she has some adorable new nursery rhyme stamps)!
