Inchies

January's theme was a challenge using a cool background stamped for us by a group member.

February's theme was pigs. I had my first ever stamping emergency while making the pig inchies. I really wanted to make a Charlotte's Web inchie and thought for sure that we had a spider stamp in our collection.... I prepped my backgrounds and glued on my images and only then discovered that we didn't own a spider stamp, sticker, rub on or any other 8-legged embellishment... OOPS! At this point I only had two days before the inchies had to be in the mail and I was panicking. I went shopping in search of anything small and spidery and I couldn't find anything with spiders on it at all! Finally, when I was about to give up hope, I miraculously found a small spider stamp (left over from Halloween). Luckily it also turned out to be the perfect size for my inchie when I used it on shrink plastic. Next time I will remember to double check whether or not I have a stamp/embellishment before I actually plan a project around it (at least I hope so!) LOL.
