Challenge Monday 1.31.11

Hi Stamping Friends!!

It's time for another Challenge Monday!!  I love Sunday afternoons.  I've just been filled up at church, I don't have any errands or chores to do and I get to STAMP!!  Pure bliss.  And yesterday I stamped my little heart out since hubby and the two oldest were still up at winter camp.  The results of my mini stamping marathon is, today I have a record number of cards... SEVEN!!  Crazy I know, but I was on a roll!  The last three cards use all the same sketch, just different color challenges.  And I wish we had a thing called SUN in the Central Valley, so I could get better pics, but I had to make do with indoor lighting.  Bummer!!  Hope you enjoy!!
