#WishBig: Viva Las Vegas Stamps!
August Challenge
I have officially joined the ranks of the only occasional blogger. Oh, well! At least I had good intentions. Chaos ensued shortly after my last blog post, the result was a very sick mother, 3 trips to the hospital and the poor girl has basically gone from independent to dependent overnight. I'm not even going to try and tally how many trips to doctors I've taken her to in the last couple of months. Let's just say that I am SO glad I enjoy knitting, because I don't think my cardmaking stuff would work well in waiting rooms.
On a cheery note, it absolutely MADE MY MONTH when I was flipping through my e-mail one night in the E.R. and found this post from Viva Las Vegas Stamps! Woo Hoo!! I can't believe I WON my first time out. I can proudly display this logo:
AND I've been meaning to try my hand at another of their monthly challenges, but my stress levels have left me rather bereft of any creative juices lately. Today I finally grabbed a chance to whip something up for their August challenge. Here is the challenge inspiration photo for this month:
Hope you like my project. It's for my Sister's Birthday--though in her case she might want to #WishYoung ;)
Can you see the Glossy Accents on the window and the Wink of Stella on the Crystal Ball?
