Versatility, mixing & matching or just looking past the obvious uses of some of your stamps not only stretches the dollar but makes your stamp investments so much more valuable. Although I don't have to justify my stamp addiction purchases to DH, sometimes I have to justify them to MYSELF. Take another look at the card I created today. The orange strip of patterned paper was created using stamps from a Penny Black Crystalline Christmas Stamp set....I am trying real hard to NOT HOARD the Hero Arts pearls that I placed in the center of some of my images. Are they not FUN.

Ca-YUTE, girlie!! Love that you made those Christmasy stamps look Halloweenie!! You're such a clever girl. The colors on this are amazing - you inspire me to think outside the box. Congrats on the Guest DT spot on Paper Maniacs - can't wait to see your projects!!
I love the way you used the Christmas stuff for a Halloween card, very smart! It is the same way at my house, I only have to justify my purchases to myself, it makes my hubby laugh when I try to tell him my reasoning behind a purchase.
OMG, this is amazing. Love how perfect the snowflakes look with the Halloween image! Your detailing could not be more perfect!!
Justine, I was not familiar with Paper Maniac until you became a Guest Designer. I think I am in love. Between ABC and Paper Maniac I may be broke.
This is so cute! You know I'm all about versatility! Now you just gave me some ideas!!!! Love that branch punch! ;) Isn't it perfect???!!!!
