This is the card I made for Vicky Gould who is today's featured stamper! It was only a matter of time Vicky, you are too good not to be featured! This is the card I chose to case!
1. I love Vicky's cards. Each one is wonderful, spectacular, awesome! Like I said, it was just a matter of time! Congrats little buddy!
2. My first thought was, I wonder how you pronouce Gould, like GOLD or like GOOLD! Maybe its a good thing Faith went the GOLD route cuz then I woulda made a card with a Halloween Ghoul on it! Yikes!
3. Is a crab and a lobster the same thing? Well, the red thingy on my card is a crab and I will tell you why! I bought this itsy bitsy package of these cute little crab cut-outs 42,000 years ago and I thought, Yes, I can use one!
4. I had cardstock spread out everywhere and there musta been a little bit of glue stuck on the corner of the itsy bitsy crab package cuz it got stuck to a large piece of cardstock that I had put away when I decided it would not work.
5. I spent FOREVER looking for the little package of CRABS! Honestly, I could have had this card uploaded hours ago had I not temporarily lost those CRABS! When I was walking out of my room to wash the distressing ink off my hands I spotted them stuck to that cardstock!
6. Now for the reason I am calling my little red thingy a crab? I got REALLY CRABBY when I couldn't find my CRABS! It sounds stupid for purposes of my story to say that I got REALLY LOBSTERY when I couldn't find my LOBSTERS! So if you all tell me that this is a lobster, its not! Its a CRAB!
Vicky, you rock!

Cindy, your sand, sea and sky are amazing...great job with however you did that!!! As for the crab getting stuck to paper, I had the same thing happen to me, only it was those little cling stamps and they are clear. I made a card and looked for that forever to finish, found it days later. I had thought that it was just a teaser, and the package really didn't contain the stamps it pictured, and was really irked that they had jipped me!! I am glad you found your stuff the same day, and this is a cute little crab that just finishes off your card!!

OK, first of all - it definitely is a crab!!! I'm so glad you kept looking for him! And, it's pronounced GhoulD - but, I like this much better than a Halloween card - and everyone says GOLD anyway, so you are correct as always.
Now, as for this card . . . I don't know how you do it week after week after week, but you definitely are the Queen of the Featured Stamper Gallery every single week. Your creativity - and as I've said many times - that mind of yours - are such a unique combination that all your cards are winners. Glad my name wasn't Tetley or I'd have gotten a teapot for sure! You are just amazing, Cindy, and I love ya bunches! Thanks for honoring me by playing today - I am deeply touched and not a bit 'crabby'!!

Oh, the things we crafters endure! This is perfect for Vicky's card...lobster crab and all! But I'd like to know...what is your water template and how did you make it? Is there somewhere on your blog I can find it? I found the cloud template a long time ago, but I'm just now seeing the water template. TFS!
