Most days I look around my Stampin Room and I get overwhelmed. What stamp set should I use? What color cardstock should I pair up with this paper? Should I go for ribbon, brads, emellishments or all? Should I have a holiday theme or an everyday card? Once I decide on colors and theme I then spend 30, 40 + minutes choosing a stamp set. Its like sticking a child in a nursery with 200 toys and saying "hurry dear, choose a toy" So, I decided for the rest of this month I am going to re-evaluate my stamp sets. The ones I have never used or haven't used in a very long time are coming off the shelf, they will be portrayed in my latest card. If they make me feel good and I enjoyed working with them, I'll keep them. If they didn't make me feel good and give me enjoyment.......gone! So last night, true to my word, I pulled off the first set-Hedgehog Happiness- never worked with this one. Well, I enjoyed it so much I stamped out several images and got them colored and chalked. I think I'll keep it. I really did enjoy working with this set. I think I would have prefered brighter colored papers but hey, I am very limited in paper right now so I had to work with I have. I think this little card turned out pretty cute though!
