LOTV...One of my fave new stamps

Second posting of tonight, whoop!  I have spent a couple of nights in my craft room and managed to make a few cards which I will be sharing with you over the next couple of weeks. I have been trying to ink up some of my new stamps, that I haven't used yet, nearly all of them are LOTV stamps, I LOVE THEM! I purchased quite a few new dies too, that I have been enjoying using, especially the Memory Box ones, they are so intricate and pretty. I spend ages on one card alone trying to put it together, before sticking anything down and I usually change it several times before I am happy with the finished result. I am my own worse critic. It seems when I check on other blogs some of you talented Ladies can produce works of art every day and here I am struggling to post one a week. I do love to visit you all though as I do get lots of inspiration and often see punches dies or stamps used that I have but have forgotten about.
   Well off to take some more painkillers for my pesky toothache which I have had since Thursday, on antibiotics, not working and have to have it out on Tuesday, the joy.  My hubby also had toothache all Easter too, what a pair we were comparing pain, of course his had to be worse. Don't think I'll last till Tues, though may have to look for the pliers!
 Hugs to you all and thanks for visiting, I love to read all your comments.

  1. HI Sue I love your LOTV card, I'm a sucker for their images too and I bought stamps from their last two new releases that I haven't got around to using yet! Fab colours together and lovin' your die cuts. If it makes you feel any better I'm just the same as you, I lay everything out and move it all around for 2 days before I stick it!
    Hope the toothache clears
    Hugs Laurie xx
