So Glad We're Friends!

Whew! I finally got stamping time in! This past week was a little busy! I had 2 sicks girls that missed 2 days of school each (ALREADY), a sick hubby, my 32nd birthday and a stamp room SO messy I couldn't bear to step foot in it! The girls are now feeling much better and will return to school tomorrow. My hubby is at work today and the girls went to visit him. I have been home with just my 13 year old son for the past 4 hours. I cleaned my stamp room, mounted my new stamps and got stamping! YAY!

I grabbed my favorite new stamp set, Inspired By Nature. I love the big bold flowers! They remind me of Penny Black stamps which I LOVE. I stamped the flowers in choc craft on Kraft patterned paper (part of the hostess paper pack). Then, I stamped Friend Definition BG stamp over the flowers in white craft. Everything else is pretty much straightforward. I added some stitching, some of the FAB new stitched grosgrain (SU), a felt flower also by Stampin Up and a sentiment stamped and then punched out with the new SU punch Curvy Label.
