Stamp Simply #48 - Take Two!
Greetings! I took a day off from blogging... not really by choice, but because life has just been crazy lately! I didn't stamp at all yesterday, and work has been busy this week. I hope I was missed at least a little bit, though! :)
It's time again for the Stamp Simply challenge, and I think you will find this one a LOT of fun! The challenge is to find one of your favorite cards from your blog or gallery and re-make it! No rules at all.... change a little bit or a lot! Take two!
Here's my card! I chose to re-make the card I did for Stamp Simply #34 All-Stitched Up! I really loved the card I did for that challenge... loved how the stitching turned out with the combination of zig-zags and straight stitches, and I loved the layout. The colors, too! So I went with a similar design here! The only significant difference is that I changed the position of the ribbon to the left side. And I didn't have room for a sentiment on the front, so I put it inside instead... especially since this 3-Step Get Well Teddy stamp set from Kitchen Sink Stamps has so many cute sayings!
So that's it... Take Two! Have fun with this challenge! For more complete details, please see Sharon's blog and for great inspirational samples, please see the other Stamp Simply team blogs!
Happy stamping!

This is beautiful!! I love the coziness of the image and the textured cardstock!! I love how little is change from the first (and also rockin') card, but the feel is so different!
Wonderfully done!

Aww this is adorable - love the stitching and colours!
I don't know if anyone else is having problems posting comments but when I try to post comments on typepad blogs I just get an error message stating bad response, I have to keep pressing post over and over for about 5 minutes until it accepts the post... but I persevere because I love your cards!
Hugs
