Needs a little something...

I was working on this card last night during the Oscars...and it clearly shows that I was paying more attention to the Red Carpet than the task at hand. I love how vibrant all the colors are, but I didn't want the card to end up too busy so I stopped adding embellishments...but I still feel it is missing something. Any suggestions?

My new goodies arrived last night.....

Instead of just diving into the box, I decided to make an official stamping area in the house. I had a space in the basement, however it being winter, it is entirely too cold to stay down there. I have been stamping in my bedroom, the living room, and even the kitchen. Well I have finally claimed an official spot in the loft. I hope my roomate doesn't mind, it being her house and all. After treking up and down the stairs to move everything around, I finally sat down and made a card. Here it is:

Here are some shots of my new stamping area...

As they say on Cribs, this is where the "Magic" happens!
