You should hear all the tap tap tap my fingers have done over the last 3 days. Getting in the groove of working feels like riding a bike. You just jump on and GO.

I have been typing away trying to get all things updated and with great success. I’m literally sitting on a pile of beautiful projects just waiting to be shared. A few of them you might have seen posted on Instagram or my Facebook page. Many were so exciting to create that we couldn’t wait to share with you.

One of the things I strived to do when Cathy was visiting was to use many stamp sets that were being neglected. I wanted them USED.

Believe it or not, The Tap, Tap, Tap stamp set was a neglected stamp set. Funny how it was on my first list of must haves yet I let it sit and collect dust. I’m proud to say it’s been broke in.

You know me and layers. The more the merrier and this card is not lacking at all.

This card has lots of little features but my fav is the watercoloring on the typewriter. Watercolor is HUGE right now.

Do you like to watercolor?

Want to know a secret?

There are no mistakes when you watercolor. Missing a spot of ink looks good. Going outside the lines… looks good. It’s all GOOD! Break out the watercolor paper and play.

Confession and a BIG secret. Yes, I have a BIG secret to tell you.

SO, I ran out of Stampin’ Up! watercolor paper the other day. It was quite tragic since Cathy and I were in the midst of a Watercolor CRAZE. When you get in that kind of groove you can’t stop. Although Stampin’ Up! has next day shipping I utilize enough they did NOT have next HOUR shipping.

So… I ran to the store that people wear their pajamas to shop around. Let’s just say this… IF Stampin’ Up! had provided an option for next HOUR shipping I would have paid for it to get our Watercolor Paper. You get what you pay for. Stampin’ Up!’s watercolor paper is superb over what I bought. Needless to say a QUICK order was placed and I’m patiently waiting for the golden Watercolor Paper. Need some? Please, save yourself a trip! Get the good stuff HERE.

The Vellum banner has a hint of Gold embossing powder. I love adding a touch of gold. The kicker is the Gold thread in my sewing machine right now. Cathy and I plowed through THAT thread with lots of love.
