great CHEMISTRY!

Sooooo.....this card is way special to me.
Here's the story.....
I was at work, showing a friend of mine all the cards I like to look at on lunch and get inspired to work in my craft room when I get home. When I was on CASE this sketch blog, I saw THIS CARD by Sam Simpson

well.....
being that my profession is a CHEMIST.....
omg. i HAD to have this stamp set! THANK GOODNESS that Sam had the source of the stamp set listed on her blog!!!  I immediatly went to the papertrey ink site and ordered this set.....(along with a bunch of other stuff....wow they have great stamps!

Sweet as Honey

I made this card for CAS-ual Friday #112....

I used all Close to my Heart stamps. Recently, I have realized that I have a gazillion stamps that are un-inked. I'm going to make an effort to use each and every one of them is some way. Debating devoting days of the week to certain stamp companies that I have oh so many stamps of and making a point to use a different set each time.....just a thought!  

On another note.....I think I am out of practice or something....maybe it is that fact that I work full time now (and being a chemist is NOT an easy job....oh the STRESS!) and I don't have the time to devote to the latest and greatest trends and techniques, but my cards are sucking! I need to find my mojo again. Anyways...time for some rest....I haven't been getting near enough sleep these days. Thanks for visiting my blog today!
