What Was I Thinking?

After looking at today's sketch challenge at SCS, I knew I needed smaller images. I pulled out three stamp sets that I picked up a few weeks ago - you know the dollar clear stamps that you have to buy because there only a buck! I bought the set that I used thinking that it was a set of houses...ummm...what was I thinking? It's a set of buildings. They're cute, but I wanted a set of houses. Hey, there were ONLY a dollar :)



Now I do know what I was thinking when I bought the recently released Polka Dot Basics II from PTI. Isn't it great? I also picked up the Everyday Button Bits set and can't wait to use it!!


Details:
Stamps - Polka Dot Basics II (PTI), On the Town (We R Memory Keepers)
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black; Copics (R27, BG15, Y00, E33, E35, E37)
Paper - white, Real Red, Taken with Teal
Accessories - dimensionals, ribbon (Offray), pastels, sentiment computer generated (Hey Arnold font)



I've been super busy over the past few days with an activity day that I hold for my students every summer and I spoke at a local university about gifted education. Exhaustion has set in and coupled with the fact that my house needs cleaned (not picked up, but scrub-a-dub-dub cleaned), I haven't been motivated to create anything new UNTIL I found out this morning that this card of mine was chosen as one of the winner's of the Moxie Fab Green Challenge! YAHOO!!! I'm over the moon and definitely motivated to create :)

Congratulations again!! :) I love your house/buildings... people still live above buildings, right? Great card... I wanted to get the Polka Dot Basics II since I wear out the first one but I got a few other sets first. Maybe I can add that one on next month if it is in stock!
