Time to play and blog candy

So over at Stamp Something they have a birthday challenge, and since I've been trying to clean out my art room I decided to combine the challenge with my own personal challenge to use up some of the scraps I have, specifically some from the various scrapbooking pads I keep buying. So here's what I've done so far:

Not too much stamping, but right now the room is in such a mess that there's hardly any space to get out my stamps and inkpads, much less "do" something. I'm working on it, though.

Oh, and Kristin has another fabulous eyelet giveaway on her blog:

Blog Candy Happiness

A few weeks ago I was the lucky winner of some blog candy on Carolyn's blog, from Inka Stamps - a beautiful poinsettia image and a set of verses. The stamps arrived on Wednesday of this week, and I've finally had a little free time (in between the laundry and getting the holiday lights set up) to play.
I've been fighting a bad winter cold all week, so it took awhile for my creative mojo to resurface. The first card I made is based on the one that Carolyn posted on her blog (forgive the poor scan - my scanner does not do metallic stuff very well):

I managed a second card before my first load of laundry was done. Let me tell you, the gold cording on this one was a bugger! I've had that cording for some time, and now I remember why I don't use it very often - it's very tempermental (which, added to my being irritable from the cold, makes for a bad combination). But I persevered, and this card is the result (photographed because my scanner absolutely refuses to do beads):

Many thanks to Carolyn and Inka Stamps for their generosity. I'm hoping to have more time to play this afternoon.
