Thanks

It's just a normal night in the Crooked household. No, no it's not. I took this afternoon off from work, came home, and with a ton of nervous energy I've been cleaning and ... cleaning. Why just now I went into the kitchen to re-fill my Stampin' Mist stamp cleaner spritzer bottle and got distracted ... I cleared and refilled the dishwasher. THIS. IS. NOT. NORMAL.

You see, I need to actually leave the house after midnight and drive about an hour north to pick up my new kitty. Squeeeee! Yeah, that might be the source of the excitement and nervous energy and lack of sleep the past few nights.  But in the end, it's all good.

So what did I do? Sitting still wasn't working, so I decided to stamp. Bad decision, but there was some new *ahem* loot in the house so I decided to use it then put it away. This is what I made:

I fell in love with this All Is Bright paper and coordinating stamp set from My Minds Eye, so yeah, I bought it. But since I don't send holiday cards, and I'm not doing any shows this year so I can't even sell them, and the OWH deadline for holiday cards was Oct 31st, I challenged myself to use Christmas paper and stamps to make a non-Christmas card. That's actually the reason I allowed myself to purchase the stuff in the first place.

The red and minty green papers are from the paper pack, and the banners were stamped on a grid-like paper from the pack so they weren't boring:

You can sorta see the grid there.

So except for the fact that I am speeding on adrenaline and forgot to round the corners, what do you think? Not Christmas?  I think it passes. :)

Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go find something else to clean to kill some more time. I promise kitteh pictures later this weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!
