InStyle Stamps Jax and January Sketches 2009 Compilation

Hello Friends!! Hey, I'm sorry I haven't visited your blogs for the past few days. I try but I can't get to everyone that I normally say hello to. I've been busy. . . .doing what, Maria? Don't laugh. Well, I've been busy reading the last installment of the Twilight book series! LOL!

My husband thinks it's funny . . .he said "wow, I'm impressed, aren't you on your 4th book and you read all of them within 2 weeks? Yeah, so what. . .what is so shocking about that? He's like . . .and all it took was a teenage book about Vampires. Actually, it is shocking considering I think I've read more books in the past 2 weeks than I've had in the last year. LOL! Once I get started on something, I sort of go into this addictive state. . . .that is until I burn myself out. Yeah, it's the story of my life. But, I actually found that I enjoyed reading a "real" book.

Reading isn't what is abnormal for me. . . I typically read before I go to bed but not "real" books. . .normally, I read a craft book, craft magazine, camera/Photoshop book, or trash magazine. Yeah, I'm a trash/entertainment magazine reader. My husband got me subscriptions for Us, People, the Enquirer, Scrapbook Etc., and Star. He thinks it's hilarious but hey, why did he get me the subscription? Isn't he feeding my trash/gossip obsession? Hello!

Well. . .I decided to start a "Book Club" online/blog and I'm calling for members who would want to join my book club. Scroll down below and check out the details. I would love for you to join. . .I think it'll be fun to sort of discuss a good book. It would be nice if we all could get together in person but well, we can't so the next best thing is to do it online. Why not join. . .it can't hurt to read, right?

Okay now on to my card! This cool dude is InStyle Stamps "Jax". If you know me by now, masculine cards are not my forte. I almost forgot I was creating a boy card and started to add frilly stuff. It's a good thing I stopped myself in time! LOL!!

I colored Jax with my Copic Markers, cut the image out, and remounted the shirt and hair with foam tape. I just love doing that! I don't even mind all the cutting that I have to do. When I cut images, I sort of go into a trance while listening to music. It's sorta therapeutic. LOL!

Anyway, stop by InStyle stamps and check out all their cute stamps. They've got lots of them!!
