Busy, Busy Days

I know everyone is busy, busy, so I am going to try to keep this short. Today is a Stamp Something day sponsored by our own Denise Lynn and her fabulous new line of stamps (her own company!) Whimsy Stamps!!! If you haven't heard about them or seen them, you need to. They are the cutest little critters! Today is a Green and Gold challenge. In the last week I have played along in two challenges asking for the use of gold products (ink, ribbon, brads, whatever you have that is gold), guess what? I own none of it. Yes, I found a missing piece to my stamping supplies-GOLD. I don't usually care for gold stuff on my cards, so that is why I don't own any of it, BUT I have seen so many pretty things created with it. I really think I need to get some ink, or at least embossing powder. Anyway, I told you I'd keep this short and here I am rambling on about gold. I decided to pull out a Golden Yellow color today. Actually I was excited to pull from my stash of retired SU In Colors-wasabi and Marigold Morning! I colored the little turtle with my copics and added some crystal effects ( I think I used that on most things I stamped this week!) for texture and detail. I have to give credit to Queen Kat designs for the layout, it was in their newsletter. Stop by the Stamp Something blog, and see what the other girls came up with this week, it's sure to be fabulous! Oh, and take a break from Holiday preparations to play along for a chance to some Whimsy Stamps! Just be sure to link your creation up on the Stamp Something site!
