FWF & my IHHC card!

hehe, too many acronyms in the stamping world ya think?! Nahhh. It's Friday & that means Friends with Flair and for my card I'm sharing today I also followed the Ippity Hip Hop Challenge Dog Days of Summer! I love summer time. And my favorite past time is reading tons of great books. That is what summer is to me, when I lived in FL it meant going to the beach and reading, now it means stealing any moment I can if I'm reading a good book - ya know, with 3 little ones, it's hard to find any free time these days & if I do, I'm probably more likely to stamp!

So, you wanna hear a funny story?! Well, the stamp set I used is ippity's Books A Flutter (available on my ippity sales blog for purchase) and I thought, hey, wouldn't it be cool to paper piece the books?! Sure! Why not!? So, I did....took some time, but I loved it. Then as I was figuring out how to put the card together, I thought oh, I bet it would fit perfectly on that big Fancy Labels nestie tag....sure did! So I grabbed my CB and cut out my tag.....then, when I was trying to put together my card, I could NOT FIND THE BOOK IMAGE!!! Oh my goodnes, now my desk was not so tidy, hence the use of all that OA scraps so I thought ok, I'll tidy up and then I'll find my image....nope, nothing. I did a sweep of my clothing, nope, not there. Then I'm down on all fours scoruing the carpet. Nope. Nothing. I even checked my CB and the plates. Nothing.....Start the meltdown. Start the talking to myself saying where could this image be?! LOL Mind you, it's nearing 1am now. I feel the tears coming on -- yes, I'm known for crying over little things. Finally after retracing my steps, I checked my plates ONE MORE TIME. Yep....there it was stuck to the bottom of my A plate. Of course. LMAO - So tell me your funniest crafting story....well, I think mine has a happy ending b/c as I took a break from looking I took more time to put my card together and added the little embellies off to the side. And I really like that. :)

Be sure to check out the Unity Blog for a list of ALL the blogs participating today in the FWF hop - It's so much fun to see what other Unity / Ippity lovers have made this week.
