First off I must start this post be filling you all in on what I have been up to the past 4 days! No stamping has been happening because I managed to hurt my right hand-and the kicker I have NO IDEA how I did it! I go back to the Doctor tomorrow to get the results of my X-rays, but for now I am icing, wrapping it and taking lots of Advil (and you don't even want to know how long it took me to type this with one hand :)
But I wanted to share with you something I started last week before my hand got really bad. I had the pleasure of doing some creating with one of my friends and amazing talented downline (she oganized the project!) And I just had to finish it because I was totally inspired by this week's challenge at PPA. The stamping is a little crooked but with only one hand it will have to do!
Ta Da!
We cut out a Bazzilion circles from fabric using the Circle #2 Die (largest Circle) and the Big Shot. Then took a straight pin and folded them quarters, and pinned them onto the styrofoam base (it was all red and glitterly but for a buck you can't go wrong,plus it was easy to cover). Once the circle is attached you just fiddle until you get the desired result. It is soooooo much prettier in person.
Here are some upclose shots:
Okay my hand is throbbing so I better stop typing but here are the details:
Stamps: Jayne's Type Alpha
Paper: Crumb Cake, Marina Mist, Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke
Accessories: Destressing Kit, Fancy Flower Punch, Vintage Brads, Small Heart Punch, Early Espresso Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, and Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding, Hot Glue Gun
Just Gorgeous Jen! Sorry to hear about your hand - hopefully it wont be long until you are back up to speed.

Oh Jenn, I am so sorry to hear about your hand. I can totally sympathize because I have a long standing chronic pain issue with both my hands. Of course, paper crafting just aggrivates is, but when you're a paper addict, you need your fix - y'know what I mean? I hope you are feeling better soon. I hope to see you at the meeting on Monday!
