Welcome! I began rubber stamping about 10 years ago but I always stayed "inside the lines" of someone else's design; however, after viewing the awesome creations on many other blogs, I'm finding the courage to "let 'er fly" and say "Wheee" along with 3-year-old Gabriel, the youngest of my 10. Want to step out of the box too? We can do it together. BTW, the name "Gracka" came from my granddaughter, Ainsley, when she was 6-months-old and tried to say Grandma. I loved it, and it stuck!

Star of Wonder
Well, it's not like me to get two cards made in a week, but here I am! Totally Gorjuss and City Crafter both have "star" challenges, and Crafts 4 Eternity's challenge is "holiday" using their sketch. Paper Cutz has an anything goes challenge, and Opus Gluei wants something un-ordinary (blue is NOT the color usually associated with Christmas). Finally, Made By Momo has a birthday challenge, and of all the people I love and who have impacted me the most, the birthday that we celebrate on December 25 is the most precious to me. (I've since removed it from this challenge). This card didn't scan so well, but there is a glittery gold star on the paper just under the image, and the dark blue paper under that has tiny crystal stars (all individually applied by hand -- whew!) I know it's still August, but this year I intend to get my Christmas cards made AND mailed on time.
