take the eScape Challenge

Are you like me? Even though you craft all the time, when it comes to making cards or gifts for friends and family, you sometimes don't have the time or the creative steam to handcraft for them? I know I am very guilty of this- it's zero hour and I have to quickly put something together...I should be taking time away to stock up for those events in advance.

Why not do that today? :)

Stampin' Up put the challenge to me (and to you...) to take the day off today from the email, the TV, the internet and sit down and make some handmade cards to reconnect with your friends and families. It's time to eScape and stamp!

I will be spending the day creating- will you join me? There are so many great ways to find inspiration to get started: the Stamping Gallery at TwoPeasinaBucket, the Gallery at Splitcoaststampers.com, and the fabulous challenges taking place on the A.Muse.A.Palooza blog!!!

If you create a card or other handmade correspondance- please upload it to the internet and link it to me in the comments below- and I will draw a winner on Friday for a set of 12 handmade notes (photo shown) made with Stampin' Up "Circle of Friendship" images, and American Crafts papers.

Didn't make a card to be included in the giveaway this go round but I did have a quick question on these adorable little cards. I was wondering about the size of the punches used to create these. They are so adoable I would love to give something like this a try. Thanks!
Fabulous blog. Thanks for sharing.
