Triggered

It's me, in real time. I am doing really well following my gallbladder surgery on Monday. Very minimal pain, just tired. I keep a family blog so if you want to read more about my "accessory " organ, click here.

Recovering at home this week means I can stamp! I have long wanted to play along with some of the challenges over at the Moxie Fab blog but haven't had time. I loved this week's Trigger Tuesday challenge, the colors were right up my alley! Check out this lovely purse they posted as inspiration.

I stuck pretty close to the sample because I loved everything about it.

I dusted off several of my Paper Trey sets for this one. To create the darker bottom piece I embossed a Polka Dot Basics stamp onto celery paper and brayered olive ink over top. The top celery piece is dry embossed with a Quickutz Polka Dot folder. The flower is from PTI's Friend til the End set, I used Copic markers to color it. The sentiment is from another PTI set, can't remember the name off hand. I figured I better make it a Thank You card since I have so many I need to send out. The hot pink twill is from Taylors store.

How did I do? Why don't you play along too?

It was so fun to stamp again. I even played along with another Moxie challenge but I will keep that for tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by!
