Love Bunny - Flirt


Hi friends, do you miss me yet? I'm trying to stamp, I promise!!  With one tornado, fourteen hours without electricity (or running water), four teeth extractions (not mine, thankfully), one {more} basketball loss, and nine stitches (let's just say the arm of a rocking chair doesn't make a very good ladder {eyeroll}), it's been hard! When it rains, it pours, right?

Speaking of raining and pouring, we're getting our fair share of natural hazards around here. Two weeks ago, we had an earthquake of all things (my first). Fortunately, it was a mild one (3.6 magnitude). The DC area isn't exactly prone to them, so a lot of people had no idea what it was ... low-flying aircraft, thunder, some kind of explosion, etc. I, on the other hand, knew exactly what it was ... the Volturi.

For about half a second, anyway. Then I did what I always do for the week or two after seeing a Twilight movie. I repeated to myself, "There's no such thing as vampires. There's no such thing as vampires. There's no such thing as vampires."  (Speaking of Twilight, or in this case, Eclipse, where are the Team Jasper t-shirts???)

So I did finally get a chance to stamp a little last night and whipped up today's card using Jen's SFYTT for this week (turned sideways), along with a super adorable Amber Ink digi stamp called Love Bunny - Flirt. Amber Ink is sponsoring the sketch this week, so just for playing along (deadline is Friday, July 30, 5 pm CST), you'll have a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to Amber Ink.
