Get Back on That Horse

My dear friends and readers.  I am almost ashamed to see that it has been so long since I last posted - back in September.  Nothing earth-shattering happened.  Just that I hit a creative block and could not myself past it.  I still love scrapbooking and cardmaking but sometimes you just run out of ideas or inspiration (now THAT'S SAD) to keep it going.  So I stopped, played around with the products that I had on hand and even got some new ones and spent the time re-grouping.  It's been quite the journey.  I hope you'll stay with me on it.

One of the stamps that I use a lot is called the "Leaves of a Tree" ($11.95) in the Holidays Mini Catalogue.  It just comes in handy for any occasion.  Here are a few samples:

I have to say that my favourite technique using this stamp is the direct to stamp with marker technique.  You can use more than one colour when you use the Stampin' Write Markers and it gives the leaves a more realistic look to them.  At any rate, I think you can get more bang for your buck.

Hope to see you tomorrow!
