Here's her sketch:

A slight aside on sentiment stamps: I have been collecting stamps (I mean, come on, we are collectors, right?) for about 9 years now, and I have neat little collections of Thank You and Happy Birthday and Thinking of You stamps, all organized in clam shell boxes, and I. never. use. them. I went in search of the right Thank You for that card, and I must have touched dozens of "not the right one". What is wrong with me/us that we have so. many. stamps. and none of them are right for what we are making?!
I decided then and there I need to be rid of all these neglected stamps to make room for some of the collection still all over my stamp room floor. Stay tuned. I'll need to photograph them all, and that sounds like work, so it may be a while.
Okay, I'm back to the card. I actually used a new-ish Hero Arts stamp for the Thank You. See? I don't need all those other ones. :)
Let's look at some detail, because I'm all about sharing my DOH moments to help you avoid the same pitfalls.
First, let's talk about that sentiment:
Embellish! I needed to embellish! It only took me about 15 minutes to find a punch almost the right size to punch out three of the circles from a scrap of the dotted paper to fill in the space. I hope it looks like I meant to do that.
Here is the tag element:
I think that's enough picking at this card. I'm going to hit Publish and then go stamp some more.
Thanks for stopping by!
