Good Monday my dear friends! I feel like I have been at the best resort in the world being with Hannah, the horses and my barn friends for the weekend. John laughs at me as he says…."It's amazing that you love to sit and watch for 2 minutes of "show time" and that you love being at the barn at 5 in the morning"…this is truly what makes me roll…Hannah and "Stanley" had a great show!

Today is a super quick post that one lucky stamper will win a white gel pen! I decided to change it up this month and I hope you play! -  What do you have to do? Easy-peasy…just have fun creating and share with me your word….just email me your creation and you can win!

Why do I do this? Again, easy-peasy….I want you to STAMP…I want you to stretch yourself from the routine that you are in and do something different!

Here is the scoop for today! You must use (3) different colors of paper, (3) shapes for one card….think out of the box…it can be triangles, rectangles, flower punches….so many options out there! I cannot wait to see what you come up with!

I had literally no time to get this post as I wanted to spend time with Oscar when I came home from the show….so I took some time to groom him and give him some love and the time glass was flipped over! While I was grazing him I planned the card in my head – this is what I was thinking!

• Use the stamp set , Big On You as that is a total keeper and I also need to send a card to someone that had a stellar weekend……

• Look at what DSP I have not used for a while….out came Park Lane!

• The colors were super easy to pick as the catalog always gives us the coordinating paper that matches it. Easy-Peasy!

I also knew that I wanted to make a square card and a square card is perfect with this stamp set! At the beginning, I went for a 4" square whisper white piece of paper to stamp my image with Calypso Coral. I did that….but then eventually I changed my mind (that happens…right???)

Using the colors of paper that coordinated with the DSP  I did a mat and figured out to make a 4 1/4" mat with my 3 colors. This worked out to be 1 3/8" X 4 1/4" for the 3 colors but after all of that I changed my mind….I needed to have more of the 3 colors showing…

PLAN B – cut the stamped image piece down a bit to 3 1/2" X 4" and BAM – done! This card was literally a wham-bam- "I'm happy to be home and have lots to do so let's make a card"!!!!

So…how about it??? – can you come up with a card that is super quick using the 3 colors and shapes? You know me, I do love my DSP and YES (I will do swatches with the new upcoming catalog) so I invite you to use whatever makes you roll to inspire you with your card making designs!

Have fun…find some "me" time and I am going to change it that you have until Tuesday night (9 p.m. EST) to email me your work of art….(I realize that there are many of you that find it too hard to do it in one day with work and life) so on Wednesday I will let you know who the random winner is!

Have fun…no stressing as that is NOT ALLOWED…and I am super excited to see what you come up with! You know what tomorrow is….the Tuesday deals for the week – WOOT-WOOT!!!!
