When You Least Expect It...

Last weekend my friend Sandi (a Close to my Heart independent consultant) hosted my friend and I for an afternoon of card-making in her very first workshop.  She came up with 8 different designs and cut the paper out for us, and we came to assemble these.  My friend proved to be more creative than I did during the workshop as she had the insight to switch up the design's colours or stamps to try something new, all to work out really well.

Listening to Sandi talk about her creations and how she imagines up her designs, I was intrigued by her just going ahead and trying out new stamps and papers.  One of the things I struggle with is what to do with some of the stamps I buy?  I really like them, and I love the idea of what these stamps could be, but I never am quite sure how to use them.  So, I came home from the workshop and decided to just go ahead and not over think the use of my Aspire Stamp from Close To My Heart.
