So they say that it’s like riding a bike. I have stamped so little in the last year that I struggled
to make an idea come to fruition. It’s probably not helpful that I came down with a summer
cold this past week and between sneezes and blowing my nose, I’m not feeling the greatest.

But, alas… I did stamp. I got my hands on the newest clear stamps from Stamp Simply
Ribbon Store and they are wonderful. I am especially enamored with the font. It’s a script
font and oh so classy. There are four new sets in the new line that are exclusive to the
Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. You can see them all HERE.

I made the decision last year to stamp intentionally. In other words, if I need a card, I’ll
stamp. When we moved from the house to the apartment, I had to downsize quite a bit. I
gave away over 200 cards. A young family in our area had lost their business/home to a fire
and the cards were sold at a fundraiser / garage sale. I don’t feel bad about that at all, but
I don’t ever want to have 200 cards sitting around again!

Today I picked up the Thank You set to make a card for a new friend. I certainly struggled.
But, when you have such beautiful supplies to work with, how can you miss? Here’s my

I apologize for the less than great picture. I’m still trying to find the perfect place in my studio
for my camera tent. It’s a process!
