... I appreciate all of you who visit my blog so much! And maybe this card should also say "I'm sorry!" to those who of you whose blogs I try to visit regularly too, and I've sorely neglected this past week! Becoming a member of the team at Papercraft Planet, coupled with new releases at Kitchen Sink and Pink Cat, and just being a wife and mom who works a full-time job has overwhelmed me this week! (And if you ask my family, they'll probably tell you they've been pretty low on the totem pole, too!) I'm so sorry that I haven't had the time to look at your creations this week and comment! I can't even bear to look, but I'm sure my Google reader is overflowing! I hope you all understand that I'm just super-busy and I hope that the craziness will level off soon!
I didn't get time to complete a card for Sharon's Stamp Simply challenge today, but I know Sharon and the other girls have some really rockin' designs to get you Back to Nature! Be sure to check out the challenge!
The idea for this card was stuck in my head all day yesterday, so I did quickly make it last night after I got home. It very uncharacteristically came together pretty easily! I used my new Piggy Tales "Itsy Bitsy Spider" paper! My friend Kimberly Crawford had the honor of winning a contest through Piggy Tales when she suggested the name for these papers! (Read about it here on her blog!) How cool is that? Naturally, I just had to get the papers!
THANK YOU for stopping by again today! I'm seeing more familiar faces over at Papercraft Planet, but there are more of you out there I know that need to hop on a jet and head to the Planet! You'll love it!

Tammy, this is so pretty. I love the black/white and green combination!
I think we all understand how life just gets in the way of our stamping...but after all those are the things that truly matters. Your family must come first and you never need to apoligize for that. We truly understand!!! You always do a great job and I for one really appreicate your fresh and creative ideas!!!!
