C, my almost 8 year old, wanted me to post her cards as well. She was so excited to use my SU supplies. Usually I make the kids use ink and stamps I have picked up at garage sells, but this time I just let her pick out what she wanted and she went with it. She told me, "It is not my fault I am creative."

Lets get started.

I have been a Stampin Up demonstrator for 4 years. As you can imagine I have a huge mass of stamping supplies. However, I havent done any real stamping in about a year. Yeah, we moved to another country and I have been soing some adjusting. But I constantly have this guilt about not using all the stuff that I spent tons of money on. So I decided I just had to do it. I just had to get started. I cleaned up my stamp room and sat down at my little table. Nothing was coming to me, so I decided to try the daily challenge on http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/
Then the next day, I tried the next challenge. And I found myself enjoying my stamps again and feeling a little bit creative. I have really enjoyed the hour or two I spend working in my little room.
