Uninvited Guest

I wasn't sure if this card was going to get finished or not. I had an uninvited guest yesterday while working on it that abruptly halted all work in the studio. As I sit at my table stamping away, a huge spider crawled right across the card I was working on! Yikes ~ I don't use the word "hate" often, but I hate spiders! I was bare foot, and felt totally defenseless. The only weapons I had were my stamping tools and I couldn't possibly use those to kill the thing. Get spider guts on my stamping stuff? Ewww ~ no way. Plus, that thing moved way too fast. I did spritz him once with my Stampin' Mist, and that seemed to slow him down a bit, but I still couldn't find anything to squish him with! I hurried and tried to finish my card, but he kept appearing out of no where ~ crawling on my paper rack, then on the table again, on the wall and then on the shelf with my stamps! I just couldn't stand it, I had to get out of there. I went back in later in the evening with shoes on, armed with bug spray, but he was no where to be seen. I sprayed around my table a bit with the hopes that I may just get him where ever he may be hiding.

I mustered up enough courage this morning to get back in the studio to finish my card. With my bug spray by my side, I got it done in record time!

I used the Reason to Smile stamp set. During the month of July, when you purchase $50 of any Stampin' Up! product, you can add this exclusive set to your order for just $5.00! I used the New In-Colors Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petals and Summer Starfruit for the flowers. The sentiment is from Curly Cute.
