In the meantime, how about this little quickie...and I do mean quickie! This one took all of 10 minutes...if that! ;) I made this one during VSN Friday night. While keeping things moving I realized I was short one sample and needed something fast so I threw this one together....a little panicked...but hey, it was fun!
A little background...the challenge was to pull out a stamp that you didn't like. Wowzers! That was so hard, until I remembered this one! This stamp set is from SU. I remember thinking that I HAD to have it. Why? Hmm...I still can't remember the answer to that question....but I got it. It's pretty much been in the package ever since and is now in my stack of retired that I need to get rid of! FUN challenge! Hey, they all were! I really loved VSN! But man this stamp just doesn't like me!Do you want this one? Reply to this post and it's yours! :) Seriously, it was really hard working with it! I truly see the beauty in this stamp...REALLY I do....but working with it is such a challenge for me. It screams watercolor to me and since I am not such a fan of watercoloring I never want to stamp it! I opted to stamp, distress, and then add the circle...just to keep it simple!
Ok...so reply and I will choose a winner on Sunday March 1st. Hopefully one of you will be able to work magic with this one! :)
Ok...off to try and get busy with this whole cleaning thing. How nice would it be to actually finish...today! :) Hope you all have a great one! :)

You can send your poor orphan stamp to OHIO - I will love it and give it a good home.
Good luck with the cleaning up your stamp area - its' an ongoing process for me.
Glad you had a chance to take a break from cleaning. I think you did a beautiful job stamping with your poor, unloved set.
I love this stamp! To me it screams - put me on a tile and color me with chalk! ~chris
Glad you got the hole fixed! If it's not one thing it's another... that's my motto!
I can understand why that would be difficult to work with but you have done a great job with it.
My question is?? what else do you have in that stack??
What you can do in 10 minutes!!whoa!! Beautiful card! I had a cleaning frenzy today too!!! A girlfriend came over and kept me on task....woohoo!! But I think I should have done the painting first like you!! Can't wait to see the results!!
I would love the challenge of this set! It is a lovely card and you used the stamp very well! Love reading your blog to see what treats you always have for us.
I think it is a beautiful stamp. But must agree it reminds me of watercolors too. But I like to do watercolors :-)
Can't wait to see your stamping area photos! Good luck finishing.
Hi there Jennifer-I really like your card! I hope I win so I can give the stamp a try--I'll send you a card made w/the stamp:-)
Have a good evening! Kathy T

That sounds like a fun challenge. Your card is beautiful -- even if you don't like the stamp!
This card is gorgeous Jennifer! I think it does like you!
The card is great and I love the way you used the stamp. I would love to give it a new home. Looking forward to seeing your room. Thanks, Annette
I think it's beautiful. Of course, I don't think I've seen you make anything that I didn't think was gorgeous. I think that stamp likes you just fine - but if you really want to send it away, it won't hurt my feelings if you send it here.
Good luck on finishing your stamping area. I can't wait to see the pictures!
Thanks for a chance at winning the stamp. I think it's pretty, and the card your made with it is beautiful!
Gosh, Jennifer, you have created a FABULOUS CARD in such an interesting way with a stamp you don't even like -- hat's off to you -- job well done!!! I LOVE this card -- truly LOVE it!!!
OOHHH! I love retired StampinUP! stamps. You did a beautiful job on the card. Love your work.
