Well, all of my plans for this weekend have completely changed. Sometimes that's not such a bad thing. I was supposed to be going on another retreat with my church's student ministry, but I've had this scratchy throat thing creeping up on me all week. Then yesterday, when I woke up, I had almost no voice at all. Then, by the time I was greeting the kids at school, I was starting to sound a bit like Macy Gray. By the afternoon, my Macy impression was dead-on. Lol. It was a rough day at school, so I was just completely worn out and feeling not-so-wonderful. I decided that if I went on the retreat, I was just going to be miserable and not much fun anyway. And having no voice when you're in charge of a bunch of 8th grade girls is no bueno!
So instead, I got to see the family for a few minutes before going to work for a couple of hours. I made it home early enough for a game of Apples to Apples with my cousin, aunt and momma. It was quite fun :-) Then I went to bed and totally crashed. I woke up with Macy syndrome again :-( But at least I can just chill.
Okay, enough whining... The real reason that I'm posting is to show you my card for Thursday's challenge-- we're already past the 200th day at 365 Cards!! How crazy is that? The challenge is to use 4 different stamps on your card, making sure that at least 2 of them are images. Here's what I came up with:
Four stamps sounded like a lot to me at first, but once I started working on it, that really didn't seem like too big of a deal. The hardest part for me was to find stamps that actually looked good together. I ended up using the bird (which is from our sponsor this week, DRS Designs), the flower, the Italian background stamp, and the little, tiny "miss you." I have a lot of stamps, but I also have a feeling that my stash looks like a handful compared to the selection that I know some of you out there have. I mean, mine fit in one box. Haha. But thankfully these worked out pretty well :-)
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you'll hop on over and join us at 365 Cards!
