For AMAP's Challenge #4 the inspiration word was....SPOT.....immediately I thought of a dog and then I switched over to ladybugs which then had me tumbling along to mushrooms and of course I took a little mental detour and thought of the "spot"-light technique and POOF!! the card was designed. My biggest problem has been trying to get time to sit down and actually stamp.

Oh, I've been busy stamping all right......2 days of classes with Julie Ebersole was fantastically fun. My favorite class was the Fabulous Folds - ideas started pinging away before I could get the cards done in class..........so much fun!!! And then of course there are all of the cool new holiday stamps for AMAP itself. So many new designs and HELLLLLLOOOOooooo, several new pine trees, a truck for Bella AND my absolute MOST favorite stamp - the mini Santa hat - LOVE that one. I can slap that thing on so many things - EVERYONE and EVERYTHING can be Santa.

Whew - I'm pretty tuckered.....but there's no rest for the wicked.......a new Make & Take everyday this week - using the NEW stamps from AMAP.....plus I'm sure I'll fit some time in to use some of the new goodies that I've purchased.......YIKES.......speaking of which - I'll wrap up the rambling for now - I'm off to stamp!!
