Hello VERSAMARK!!

I've been a regular blog stalker for about a month now and keep hearing about this 'Versamark' stamp.  Finally was able to purchase one and WOW- so awesome!  There's a ton that you can do with this stamp pad!  
Here was my first card experiment with using Versamark in the background.
I kept thinking everyone just had a kazzillion different types of stamp shades to get that perfect one-shade-darker colour.
Love it!
I'm thinking this will be a staple for future cards! 
Loved the Making Memories charm that seemed to fit the Stampendous stamps so well.
The second card was an attempt to use some pattern paper and the small snail and bug fit so well with it!  This card came together pretty well.
Loved the ribbon and had been looking for a place to use it where it would go. Not too bad...

Cards for Been

For those of you who know me, you will know that I spend much of my time thinking about my sister who lives in a different province.
So, much of my stamping thoughts are cards for her.
Here is one that I loved after it was made and was so excited to send to her!
Very simple in blue.
Can't get enough of those pop ups that make parts of the card stick up higher than everything else- sure adds some pizzazz!!
