August Drop-In Card Class

So on Friday I had a drop-in card class at my home, which was fantastic.  Darla, my partner in crime, and myself got to meet 2 members of our Design Team.  I'm sure by now you know that Darla and I run the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  Well 2 of our design team were visiting Nova Scotia on vacation and asked to come to one of our classes.

The very first card we decided to make was one I cased from Laura Lee Ryan, using the Happy Autumn Stamp Set(D1550).  Well, I got all the pieces out but couldn't find where I had put the stamp.  I searched high and how, and had Darla searching too, but we just couldn't find it.  So after making 3 or 4 more cards, we gave up the search and decided to improvise.  So here is my cased card.

It is fabulous, isn't it!  Thanks for the inspiration Laura Lee Ryan, but since we couldn't find the missing stamp we grabbed the March Stamp of the Month, Floral Happiness, and a sentiment form the stamp set D1361 Thank You(retired).

So, I thought I would do a post to show you that sometimes when you don't have the stamp you want, you can improvise, grab another stamp set that is similar and still create a masterpiece.  Oh, and of course not even 20 minutes after finishing this card, I found the missing stamp set.
