Good morning or afternoon or evening! Here is my table as it looked when I left for work this morning. (Why am I showing you this? I'm participating in What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday of course! Check it out and join in. ) Tomorrow I will have an MRI on my elbow and before the next WOYWW comes around, I should know what's up.
Next on my agenda is a layout about all the places I've lived. I've got the part of New York State here that encompasses the places I've called home, even briefly, and punched out a square from North Carolina and Arizona as well. I think I've finally found a use for these little chipboard houses. :)
Over the weekend I decided to ink up this new-to-me Hero Arts floral stamp -- I think it came out last year. I clear embossed it onto two cards. On the first I used Copics to color it (I only have about six Copics -- they're expensive and I'm cheap. ;-) )

On the second one I used distress inks -- I really like the soft look here.

This next one features a lovely paper napkin that I brought home with me from coffee hour at church -- I used PPA to adhere it and stamped Birthday Wishes with archival ink when it was dry.

The tag was just playing . . . Hero Arts friendship definition stamp stamped in archival ink, then a swirly pattern clear embossed, colored over it with Spun Sugar distress stain (which is so pale on the manila tag that it didn't really show up) and Worn Lipstick distress ink. I topped it with bits and pieces I had lying around.

Thanks for visiting! I'll get around to everyone who comments here for sure and as many others as I can manage. [Edited to add: I've attempted to comment back to everyone, but some of them don't seem to want to go through. All of your visits and comments are so appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
