I posted this on a board today… its funny so I’m a repostin’

ok Im silly but I had to share.

I’m relatively new to all this stamping business. So when I was trying to build up some supplies I ordered tons of Stamping Up! stuff. Well, I got one of each of the colorsets of inks + refills. I asked around for weeks before doing so because I didn’t (and still don’t really) understand the difference in the types. Color was more of a concern to me. Well, since I like to hand color, watercolor, markerize (is that a word even?) everyone said I needed the CLASSIC ink. So that’s what I bought. Bought it ALL. LOL..
ok, shoot forward to last night.

Up until now Classic ink is all I had used. I used some Encore once, but it didnt feel like this.
Anyway, so last night I could NOT sleep again. I have no idea why my mind will not shut off at the end of the day! So, I decided to break out my new wal-mart stamps and make my family Christmas cards.
When I signed up to be a demo for SU! a few weeks ago, one of the things they sent me was a pad of white CRAFT ink. Which I used last night to make my snowflakes.

I have to tell you I just wanted to SCREAM OUT "wooohoooooo"

Up until now, Ive stamped and been like
"oh yay, Im stamping look at me make a pretty…"
but last night…
the way the craft ink FEELS when you stamp the paper…
the stamp almost HOLDS the paper screaming out
"Do ya feel that!? DO YA?!"
omg it was just AWESOME!!!

hahah! ok, sorry, just had to get it out. Had to tell SOMEBODY. My hubby just doesn’t get it. Although, when I was telling him about how awesome it was this morning he responded by saying. "That’s great babe. How much is THIS going to cost me?" hahaha poor guy.

Finally got to use my new cute little wal-mart stamps, and got my family Christmas cards done. woohoo!
on the side: this was my first time stamping with craft ink, and I LOVE IT! Now I think I bought the wrong kind of ink when I ordered all my stampin up stuff!
