The stamps came and my kids took a nap, stamping serendipity! I got a chance to play with the <a href="http://www.therubbercafe.com/CatalogPages/pg03.htm">free-form horse</a> stamp. Here is what I came up with:</p>

<p>I used Cricut Inks and my <a href="http://www.craftedge.com/index.php?rfid=4291406&amp;ref=c05943995fc9e9df4a0b0672d997478d">SCAL software</a> to make the &#8220;giddyup&#8221; labels, remember Kramer on Seinfeld LOL! I used my <a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/60210692/dc7ca59e/bracket4.html">bracket frame freebie</a> and typed over it with Chipperfield. Then I put the brown marker in my Cricut and clicked cut. I took out the marker and put the blade back in, deleted the text and clicked cut again and it cut around my shape&#8230;how cool is that!?! Money saving tip: I tried to make my own Cricut markers and it didn&#8217;t work so I went to JoAnns and bought them with my 40% off coupon. They are $2 less there than AC Moore and JoAnns will let you use your coupon on mats and accessories but not the machines or carts. The horse is colored with pastel pencils.</p>

<p>For this card I took a sponge and put reinker on the edge and streaked it on white card stock and stamped the horse over in black and cut them out. I thought it would make a cool congratulations card, or if something unusual happens, for instance, my cousin&#8217;s boyfriend grew the largest pumpkin in Maine State history last week&#8230;Now that&#8217;s something you don&#8217;t see everyday!</p>
<p>Have a great weekend, My sister&#8217;s getting Married, I&#8217;m so excited! I&#8217;ll be busy most of the weekend with that!</p>
<p>Happy Crafting,</p>
<p>Lindsay</p>
