It’s the 15th, so that means it’s time for another Monthly Mix Blog Hop with the ladies of Lizzie Anne Designs.  This month, I used the current LAD sketch challenge and stamps from two different Monthly Mix stamp sets.  I just felt this sentiment from the July 2010 set worked really well with this image from the September 2010 set.  I’ll admit that I was happy to use some of my really old Stampin’ Up buttons to embellish this card.  How old are they?  Well, the color is labelled as Bliss Blue, so that means I bought them before the 2005 color revision.  I do believe it’s time to use them up!

As I was waiting for the black ink to dry before coloring the quilt, I browsed through the LAD Sketchbook.  There’s a lot of fantastic stuff in there!  I noticed, however, that the sentiment stamp I used today isn’t inking the same as the projects in the Sketchbook were showing.  I looked more closely at my stamp and saw that it has a few little indentations in the “R”, the “i”, and the “N” that prevent the ink from contacting the cardstock.  It did the same thing on my “What was I thinking?” card back in August but back then I just reasoned it was because I’d sponged the ink onto the stamp.  How about that?  I kind of like it this way because it gives the letters a more eclectic look.  I think it’s pretty cool.  And it’s more unique!  🙂

Thanks for stopping by today!  If you have time, I strongly suggest visiting the Sketchbook linked above to see what awesomeness Lizzie Anne fans have been creating!  Or, if you only have a little bit of time, go visit the other Blog Hop participants’ blogs listed here and give them a little blog love.
