Asha with Friends

I love this stamp, it reminds me of how my daughter would try to grab on to my son and practically strangle him when they were young.  The stamp is called Asha with Friends, the designer is Lia Stampz.  She was so gracious, when I purchased the stamp she allowed me to compose 5 sentiments of my own to go with the image and she emailed them to me.  She does this with all of her images, this is one of my 5, I love how she added the little heart to it.  I used  Lindsay's Stamp Stuff  Decorative Doilies to cut the square doily and I used the negative as my envelope liner, the paper is Stampin Up.  I found a new trick for my bows.  If you look closely I used a tiny rubber-band to make the cinch in this bow.  I kept playing with it and I could not get it right then I remembered I had some of the teeny tiny rubber-bands left over from when my kids wore braces, I had stuffed them in with my craft stuff, sure I would figure out a use for them some day (10 years later, lol).  It really made a perfect bow.  

Just a note here, we will be picking up the wood for our floors this weekend, I may be posting sporadically for the next few weeks, months, years?  I don't know, I'm not sure, how long will it take us to install the floor ourselves?  At some point we will have to take down my craft room, won't that be a nightmare, you did read that I saved rubber-bands for 10 years didn't you, ha ha.  I hope it goes quickly and without too many problems.  That's it for today, as always, thanks for looking.  ~Diane
