So here are 7 random facts about me:
1. I used to bite my fingernails down to the quick and just stopped about 10 years ago.
2. I wear a mouth guard at night because I apparently 'clench' my jaws so my teeth have deep wells in them - I don't grind - just clench!
3. I make lists - I would never remember anything if it wasn't for my 'lists'!
4. As a child I always wanted glasses because my sister and parents all wore them and I would tell my mother I couldn't see well just to try and get them!
5. I love to read.
6. I love to stamp more than read lately (well - probably all of you already know this fact and are in with me!!!)
7. I actually reduced my stamping time for a couple of weeks so that I could read the 4 Twilight novels!
And now onto some stamping!
What a fun new technique challenge today on Split Coast - speckled background made by spritzing Simple Green on glossy card stock that has been sponged with ink! DH had diluted our Simple Green with water and it didn't seem to work so I used an Orange cleaner we had.
Anne (itsapassion) had challenged us to use an Ugg boot as inspiration for the Double Dare Challenge I do each week with some SCS friends so I combined the two challenges. Here is the Ugg boot I used for inspiration . We had to use a brown background and the colors on the boot.
And here is my card with the speckled brown background and the colors from the boot!
I thought the speckled background came out sort of looking like the brushed leather on the boot. And I love the flowers in the Stampin Up Eastern Blooms set that I used here.
You can see the other Ugg inspired cards here.
Thank you so much for stopping by tonight - I just made 50,000 hits today thanks to you!! (Woo Hoo!!!) so there will be blog candy coming up soon as soon as I get my act together!

Love your UGG card!!! Thank you sooo much for thinking of me!!!! You are a sweetheart!
First, thank you for the sweet blog awards and for sharing some interesting "Julia"isms! This card is absolutely beautiful! I have that awesome set but I'm ashamed to say it has yet to see ink! Congrats on your mile marker for your blog! It is well-deserved for such a creative, well maintained log of your artistic talents!
Wow, your card is stunning! I love the flowers and gorgeous background!!!
Hi Julia,

I love to read too - and stamp - we must be related! Hey-thanks for playing the tag game with me. I appreciate getting to know you better. I'm sorry for delay, it's been crazy since Keaton's accident. Have only been home a week - wish I could trade in my day job. Sigh. Hugs to you!
