Hero Arts....dreamy blue sky

>> Thursday, August 18, 2011 – 

I picked up this darling cling Butterfly Field stamp from Hero Arts - and found myself struggling with what to do with it! This card took a lot of tries at stamping. It's really hard to get it even - this isn't really all that even, but the sentiment covers up a big white spot! Have I said enough times that I'm not really a good stamper?? I used Colorbox Chalk ink on this one.

I sent this card to Jennifer McGuire - for all she did for me at CHA. She was such a dear, and gave me the confidence to walk into a lot of booths that might have otherwise scared me off! ha. She made an introduction for me at a booth I couldn't get into at all, and that was such a big deal for lil ole me. And of course she intro'd me to her boss, and that meant the world!

If you don't follow her blog, I'd highly recommend adding her to your list of faves :) I subscribe by email and it's like getting a little bit of happy mail in and among all the crazy stuff going on - she always inspires me!

I have a question for those who read my blog on my blog...(I know a lot of you see it on FB, thanks for sharing the love over there!). Do you miss having those "related posts" below each one of the current ones? I liked that because it gives more life to the old stuff on my blog. But...it's a lot cleaner looking since I removed that. One reason I ask is because I want to do a blog overhaul before September hits, and I want to know if I should include that again. Appreciate your feedback!

I do like the "related posts" link. Especially if I'm looking for my lost mojo -- following your blog posts sometimes leads me to it. :)

I really like this card! Covering the empty spot with your sentiment is exactly what all stampers do when a stamping doesn't work perfectly. lol As to the related items, honestly, I've never clicked on a related link on any blog. It's like I just overlook them. When I'm browsing a blog, I scroll!

Love the card, I couldn't stamp that either. If it takes more the three tries to get an image right, I give up and give the stamp away, LOL!

Anyway, I keep up with your blog and therefore don't need the related items, as I already seen them.

Thanks for sharing!

I saw that stamp at a recent show and didn't buy it because I thought I would be sure to just get frustrated. You did a really nice job with it. I am one of those who does look at "related posts" because very often, there are cards here that really catch my eye. You must just ooze creativity 24 hours a day!

Hi, I look at the related items too because I am still learning (and re-learning!), so I really like them and I use them on other people's blogs too - I have a hard time just scrolling down cause I always get sidetracked!

Thanks so much for your feedback...I really appreciate it!
