Hey everyone, I'm back! Life is resuming normal activity in the Hershberger house (except for the head cold that Kaylie and I both are suffering from!) as Anne returned home to Germany yesterday. So I'm back in the stamping groove!
I made this card for the Bellarific Friday challenge on the Stamping Bella blog. I got it sent in a little too late, but that's OK... I had time to stamp and that's what is important! ;) I also used Jen's Sketch for You to Try for the layout. It's changed up just slightly as her sketch called for an oval, and I had already cut cute little Lulu Ketto out in a circle before I looked at the sketch. I wanted to use my pinking circle Nestabilities around the circle instead of scallops because the Ketto's are more funky and edgy! Isn't she sweet! I was excited to find this vintage-y button in my stash too, to add for the embellishment! It reminds me of Depression glass!
Stay tuned, as tomorrow I'll be rejoining Sharon Johnson and her awesome team for the Stamp Simply challenges! Oh, it feels so good to be back to my obsession! If only I could stop coughing my head off, life would be grand!
Here's a quick picture taken at the airport yesterday before Anne headed for her gate! I heard from her earlier today and she's home safe and sound, and very busy filling all her friends and family in on her experience in America! I hope our boring family didn't end up being a disappointment to her, and that she truly enjoyed her stay!

Tammy - I LOVE this card!! I so want to get some of the Kettos, but nobody sells them near me. Do you get them at the store you work at?? I think I need to get a job at a scrapbook/stamping store! LOL

I love your pink and chocolate Ketto - she is so cute and I love the pinking circle nestability (which I don't have). You're right, they do make the card look funky. Great card.
