If you're like me and took a break from stamping, sometimes it's hard to get the ideas rolling so freely and readily. In those instances, it's good to blog hop and get inspired. If you need a jumping off point, a card sketch is a good place to start. I found 2 card sketches on Heather's blog that I wanted to play around with.....
I just ordered some CS and paper from the Miss Moxie collection and wanted to play with it (I did add the green from my scrap pile. I don't usually work a lot with warm colors (especially orange) but I think the colors in the Miss Moxie palette go quite nicely together. After stamping the bird, I felt like there was too great an expanse of white, so I used my stamp pads directly on the paper to give it a more distressed feel.

I have to admit that this stamp set didn't appeal to me at first. But when I was perusing the catalog preparing for my big 1/2 price order during the January sale, I took a second look and decided this would be a great set, especially for sending cards of encouragement to my Christian friends. There are just so many occassions one of these stamps would work for.

It's always exciting to come home to a TAC box on my doorstep. Today I had several fun new sets to try out. I don't usually go for the "cutesy" stamps, but I couldn't resist this set with the adorable skunks. And I love the colors of the Juliette collection of papers.
