Enjoy! NBUS #9 & SS Anything Goes

Hello, friends!  Popping in really quickly to share some last minute cards that undoubtedly took me longer to write about than to make.  Yes, you read that correctly.  I had a bunch of packages to mail today, and with less than 30 minutes before the Post Office closed I realized I was a few cards short.  Yikes!  After a moment of panic, I pulled out a never-been-used stamp set of mine - Concord & 9th's Lots of Blots.  (At least I don't think I've ever used it!  My memory is pretty terrible these days, but it looks brand new to me.)   I grabbed a couple inks, hoped the colors would work, and quickly stamped some cards.  And then I liked them so much that when I got home from the post office I made a few more, so next time I'm prepared. :) I really, really get a whole lot of happiness from a simply stamped card. PS I'm a little addicted to this love note sized card.  What is that you ask?  It's a mini size card measuring 2.75" x 4.25" when folded that fits perfectly inside Concord & 9th's Love Note Envelopes.  They are tiny and cute and super duper quick to make....win, win, win!
 
Though I wish I had had time to add in Darnell's optional "camouflage" technique for NBUS #9 (which I am thrilled to be able to enter), time truly did not allow it. Interestingly enough, though, I used that camouflage technique on my card for last week's NBUS Challenge.  What are the odds?  And I have to let you know that the NBUS item I am most excited about using for this project was my Lawn Fawn stamp shammy.  I just ordered one, and I am in LOVE!  No more leftover baby wipe fuzzies for me.  My stamping world just got a whole lot happier with this shammy.  It's amazing.  Oh, and I'm also linking this up to the Simon Says Anything Goes Challenge. Yay!  Okay, now I really need to head to bed.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
