MakingLists: I have stamp club in two weeks and I need to start thinking about my monthly order. It's so hard trying to narrow down all my choices. I'm sure I'll change my order at least three times before club. That's just reality.

From the kitchen: On Monday I made faux egg mcmuffins and they are friggin' delicious!!!!! Other than that, I'm feeling really crappy this week so no more cooking or recipes.

Crafting: I had a bit of fun with my new butterfly punch this week. I love the simplistic look of colored butterflies on a white background. For the two polka dot cards, I wanted to play with repeating background images. I stamped the same simple dot flair stamp in a yellow, light pink, and pink to match the designer paper (DSP stack from Stampin' Up). In real life, the colors work much better. Plus, I love the repeating colors. I want to play around with the idea some more. Lastly, I used another sheet of the DSP for the background of the "Bloom" card. I tried to bring out the green of the paper with green ink, but it doesn't quite work right. Maybe layering of stamps is a bit much.
