Welcome to mystampincloset

More than likely you've stopped over from Mary Fish's blog.  I've been blessed to be a "Pal" since 2010.  I'm so glad I joined her group and I've loved all the people I've met through her downline.  I've decided to rename my blog and I'm welcoming you all here to "My Stampin' Closet".  Why the name you ask? Well...when my daughter was born 2 years ago I thought I'd be able to share my craft space in a corner of her room.  What was I thinking?!?!  I looked around the house and the only place I could carve out a spot for my creative genius to work was in the back of our master bedroom closet.  Now, let me assure you right now, I do not have a massive closet.  My desk fits the width of the closet and I use all the vertical space for storing my stamps and paper.  One day I might actually show you pictures :)  For now, though, here's a card from a recent Card Club.



When I saw this card over on Becky Roberts' blog I immediately thought about my owl punch and turning the card into something that looked like a tree.  I was so pleased with the way it turned out and I'm so happy to share it with you today.  Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

  13. Congrats, Kylie, on such a clever card for your Sunday guest spot on Mary's blog. I hardly ever use my owl punch but that will change today. Your renamed blog looks great, although I was pretty familiar with the older one during my days of "blog bandit"..... :)
