HAPPY ME - Pedastal Card

This pedastal card I have done for several challenges.  It was so fun to make that I smiled the whole time I was doing it.  Having just done the scrap page of my happy husband standing and gazing at the sea, and fondly remembering how he surprised me with the drive down to France over the weekend, I couldn't help but be a smiling bumbling happy soul!  It came right out into this card.

Scraps & Stamps

The power was out in my building today so I couldn't use my cricut.  I've had to go down the street to use my internet and have kept the computer off so I could come down and load up my cards for the day.  Frustrating to not have power and from what I can read on the Italian sign on the door, it will be out again on the 15th. :0(

So here are the cards I created today without the cricut.  I got out my punches, stamps and scraps.

This card is just a scrappy fall card.

I had a digistamp/clipart thing that I had printed but not colored and cut, so I spent some time doing that.  It is suprising how just cutting paper can be so calming. This is the inside:

Scarecrows, corn rows

Pumpkins on the vine

Leaves curl, wind swirls

Fall is right on time

In this picture I was frustrated because I just couldn't get my camera to take a straight picture! Grrrr

So, that's it for my stampin' scrappin' cards.  Ever feel like you get worse in your talent as time goes on?

Lately, I feel like the more cards I make the worse I get instead of better.  Some things improve and other things start to fall apart. Ugh.
