It's amazing how a little sun and warmth suddenly brings out all the nasty bugs which make our lives a misery. I have been feeling under the weather for a few days - nothing specific but yesterday I was poorly. I have really not been feeling like crafting and even forgot my DT post for Dilly Beans yesterday :(. I feel bad about that as I hate letting people down. Will have to make it up to Megan next week - somehow.
So, I have been thinking lately about my crafting, stamps and the fact that I seem to collect a lot of both rubber and digis but most of them hardly ever gets used. Feel really bad about that as there was a reason why a specific stamp was bought in the first place. So I have now started to catalogue all my stamps (both rubber and digi - and no I didn't realise what I let myself in for lol) and I am finding a better storage system for my rubber (putting them in random boxes on my shelves is not the best way to "spotting" a neglected stamp). I am hoping this will make me use my older stamps more - especially while cataloguing them. You know the moment ... "Oh yes - I remember buying this stamp :)". So you will be seeing a revival of old and neglected stamps - and yes, I know I have said that before but this time I mean business (WILLPOWER .... WILLPOWER .... exhausted)
So, my card for today ....
..... features an old stamp from Whiff of Joy. Given her som fresh spring colours and she's as good as new again :).

I hope you begin to feel better soon Mette!
Love the sunshiney card today, can you believe it was trying to snow here this morning! She is so cute and I love how you've colored her, so pretty!
I'm happy with my rubber stamp storage but I need to come up with something better for my digis...they really get neglected! I'll be waiting to see what you come up with! :)
I think all of us stampers run into the same problem from time to time. I tend to go in spells..digi's for a while and then all rubber for a while.
Very sweet card! Feel better!
Such a sweet image and love the colour combo and design. Thanks for joining us at MMCS challenge this week.
