Good Evening  Everyone 

It has been sometime since I have used this blog, but thought I would start blogging again, now that I have my crafting mojo back.

After quite a few years of not crafting, I am making it a priority to being crafty most nights after work.  Its been a fun couple of weeks, searching the web for new stamps and tools and.... WOW....  have I been missing a lot of new stuff and techniques.  I have discovered matching dies for stamp sets - isn't that a life saver - no more fussy cutting. 

A few weeks ago, I discovered Lawn Fawn, they have such cute stamps, I want to purchase all of them.   I have bought a few , with the matching dies,  and still waiting for a few orders to still come in. With the sets I do have, I have been having a lot of fun playing with the stamps and dies.  

This evening I found the Lawn Fawnatics challenge blog and seen the birthday challenge, so what better reason to get out my new stamps and create a card.  

For this card, I used the following supplies 

- Cardstock Base - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 

- Cardstock - Recollections ( From Michaels)

- Patterned Paper - Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid 

- Stamp & Die Set - Lawn Fawn - Bicycle built for you 
- Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. 

Looking forward to stamping again soon in the future.  If anyone else knows of other stamping challenges - please share.  These challenges really do help with crafting motivation and inspiration.  

Hope everyone is having a great day !
