Cyberstamping with Amy
Hmm….did I say this week yet, that I love Amy Westerman’s blog? Today is her scrap challenge. Use scrap paper to make a card. She threw the gauntlet down when she told me to check out the square card she made. It’s gorgeous, like all her work. I had to make a quick one myself.
That striped paper strip had been laying on my table for like a week. I don’t know why…it’s double sided paper, so I probably used the other side of it for something. After checking Amy’s card I knew I wanted to use that strip up (one way of cleaning up the table). I pulled out my file with paper strips, picked the other two patterned paper pieces and layered them on top of a 4 3/4″ Chocolate chip cardstock square.
I had to make a square card, since I just posted how much I like them. LOL The card base is 5 1/4″ pumpkin Pie cardstock. I did DTP with the Pumpkin Pie pad to make it look a bit shabby.
I don’t know what posessed me to pull my Cool Cat out. I haven’t stamped her in ages. I still like her though. The greeting is from Happy Everything. I love that saying set.
Oh…I almost forgot to mention that I used my new stickles!!! Green on the eyes of the cat and clear on her collar! Got to use my new STUFF. I love new STUFF!
I will go and try to convert some of the birthday cards back to blank cards now. Thank you so much for all those wonderful greetings. I can’t even express how wonderful I feel being showered with cards like that.

Love pulling scraps together for cards. I like the different combos I come up with just by having scraps next to one another that I wouldn’t think to put together! And OMG I have to pull out cool cat again. Fantastic card.
