I decided it was time to put down the Magnolia stamps – I love them so much I could work with only them, which isn’t so great for variety. I also just bought the most wonderful border punch from Michaels, and had to use it.

I based this card on the sketch from Sketch Saturday this week. I wanted a sentiment that said something about family, but I don’t have an appropriate one, so I left it blank. Blank cards are more useful, anway!

Simon Says Stamp wants you to use a punch (or many!) this week – this beautiful one is called Moroccan Lace, and is an EK Success punch. I even used it to make the little corners! And while I’m not eligible to win a prize (didn’t use one of their stamps, because I don’t own any! yet.) Kraftin’ Kimmie stamps has challenged everyone to make a card with no embellishments. I don’t usually go to crazy with that stuff anyway though.

The stamp I bought from Local King Rubber Stamps when they were at the big craft fair here in November. It came in a set with lots of great safari animals that I’m looking forward to using.

I have also decided to start selling some cards in my Etsy shop! I love making them, but if I don’t sell them, they’ll pile up faster than I can send them. I’ve got a couple listed so far, and have made a Rycrafty Paper Goods section for the store. I’m not too concerned about recouping the money spent on supplies – I love doing it. It’ll be nice to know they are going to be sent, and to have a few extra dollars for more paper. I mean Copics. I mean for the Visa.
