Stamp Therapy

Yesterday was a very long day.  It was one of those days where all three of my kids seemed to be at each other throats the whole day, I heard Momma at least a million times, and the messes to clean up were never ending.  Thankfully my two year old went to bed earlier with his siblings because he hadn't had a nap. Needless to say by the time the kids were in bed I was in desperate need of some stamp therapy.  

Here are my two creations last night that I've already posted on my SCS gallery. I wanted the cards to be bright and cheerful....something opposite to the way I was feeling.  The dp from the Ashville collection by Scenic Route came to mind.  I love the bright orange & mellow yellow.  I recently did a mini album for my mom using the same paper and enjoyed working with such upbeat colours.

The stamp sets that I used were a reflection of my thoughts. The top card uses Spring Solitude, inspired by the idea of me finding that private place to withdraw to when my world gets just a little crazy.  And then the bottom cards use of Delight in Life is to remind me to delight more often in the beautiful life that has been given to me.
