June Blog Hop - Anything Goes

I did finally get a new keyboard earlier this week ... **phew** JIT!  {Just in Time! in ecommerce and transportation logistics lingo}

This month's theme "Anything Goes" was sort of based on the idea that many of the FSJ Coaches would be just returning from the annual Convention in Arizona and might want to participate even with such a short time between getting home and the hop starting.  As the month's image suggests, I was hoping for a lighter and playful attitude toward the projects shared.  At the time, I was without a keyboard and knew I would have to take a very playful attitude toward any post I might come  up with.

Besides not being able to type easily I'm limited by the fact I have lost track of two of my sets of FSJ stamps.  The Honeycomb ATS sits nearby, though, for quick and easy use -- it gets used frequently.  It is perfect for pre-decorating some of the index cards for my Facebook comments.  And about a year ago I began leaving Skype messages (3 minute videos) for a friend on a variety of topics that spanned more than one video to pass on all the info;  that is when I began using Index Card 'placards" to open the videos so it would be easier to find a video again to access the info in it.  ICAD got me started on index cards -- and the 2016 challenge is on!  I missed the start for this year but will be jumping in ASAP! Do a small piece of art on a 3x5 index card each day in June and July ... last year, I enjoyed it so much I did more than one a day.

I love that stamp (Honeycomb ATS) and was very happy it did not get retired!  It is perfect on envelopes, the index cards and as a background image for just about everything.

Retired items are on sale while supplies last until the end of June for 40% off.  Lots of awesome stamps, dies and accessories are still available at truly fabulous prices.  Shop here:  http://www.funstampersjourney.com/suseadoodle

The new FSJ Inspiration book & catalog for 2016/17 will be available July 1 and is so full of wonderful stamps and dies, I can't begin to express how much fun it is to look through, dream about owning and using all those supplies and planning projects.
