First I wanted to say thank you to everyone who emailed me while I was "away" - your kind words and support reminded me of what wonderful friends I have made through blogging. You are all wonderful and amazing people!! For those who asked, I decided to take a break because I was more or less exhausted, (lol). I am now babysitting my niece, who is just over a year old, and having 2 babies all day long was just mentally draining and left very little time for anything else. That being said, we have all settled into a schedule of sorts and I am finally finding a little bit of time for myself every day. I have continued my stamping and now have a good collection of pictures to share with everyone which should allow me to continue to enjoy both stamping and my blog. I was finding that I was constantly rushing to make things simply so that I had something to post and it just wasn't any fun anymore. So, without further ado, let's get back to it (lol)!!

This card was inspired by my wonderful friend, Tracy Houghton from
Tracy's Happy Place. She sent me this image along with a HUGE pile of others and I CASED the layout for the card from her as well. He is called "Ian Skater Boy" and is an Anya image. I used one of my new Cuttlebug folders, distressed lines, with this card and coloured Ian with my SU markers. It's simple but I thought it all turned out beautifully myself. Enjoy:)
Hugs & Happy Stamping -
