Stampin' Up! Just Thinking & Zoo Review!
March 02, 2013
Good Morning! Hope you are having a good day! I had my right eye surgery yesterday, and frankly, if the right one had been done first I would have been much more nervous about having the other one done! The left one only felt like two little pokes on my eye, but today's stung like you had snapped my eye with a rubber band! Ouch! It also took five zaps with the laser to get the hole 100% open, so that was a bit nerve wracking, but I held firm and got through it. The doctor is confident my glaucoma problems should be taken care of, and now that the "goo" is pretty clear from my eye, all is going well.
Enough about me, you came to see something pretty, didn't you? I hope you are not disapointed by this:

Sharon House created this swap using the Just Thinking single stamp in the Occasions Catalog, free Sycamore Street Designer Paper, Window Frames Framelits, and a Basics Glimmer Brad!
My second sample to show you today was created by my dear friend, Ruth Bingle!

Ruth used Zoo Review, one of the few Annual Catalog stamp sets I actually DO NOT OWN! Are you shocked? Now, I must admit that I am a stamp-a-holic, but many of my stamps were free to me from sales and promotions that Stampin' Up! offers. Add to this the fact that I've been a demonstrator for 10+ years and that adds up to alot of stamps! The "Best Wishes" is from Petite Pairs.
I actually emailed Ruth to ask her how she created the "zebra effect" for the long panel of this card. She reported that she started with a base of Basic Black, then free-hand cut an identical-sized piece of Whisper White into the pieces to create the zebra stripes! After she adhered the white to the black she ran it all through the Big Shot inside the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folder! Easy Peasy!
Before I leave you today, here's a picture my daughter, Jessica, took of my 14-month-old grandson, Jaxon, and I yesterday at Steak n Shake before I had my eye procedure:
Jaxon & I have fun when we are together! Someday when he's a big, grown up guy, we will have to show him this picture! I LOVE him! I'm so blessed to be able to spend fun times with my grandchildren!
That's all for today (at least as far as I know!) I'm planning to spend my day planning and creating for my March parties and classes, so it should be a fun day! If you have any questions about anything, just call me, text me, Facebook me (Carol Payne Stamps on Facebook) or email me!
Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

These are wonderful cards! Thanks for reminding me to pull out my Zoo animal set to make a giraffe card for my great niece who loves them! So happy that your second surgery is now behind you and so sorry it was so rough! Hopefully this is all you have to face and will again see everything clearly!
