What i'm actually talking about is the fact that i haven't been doing a whole lot of stamping lately. I have apparently done damage to my hip joint and lower back, so i have some pinched nerves. Which is causing me to be unable to sit for longer than 5-10 minutes at a time. Which has made it a little difficult to make any cards over the last month! (I guess you can't make very nice cards while laying down icing your back.)
Anyway, after a couple of weeks of Chiropractic care and a LOT of rest, i was finally able to make a card today! Woo hoo! I was especially excited because i had paper i've hardly used and a brand-new Birthday set to break in. But it's been so long, that after i was done i really wasn't sure whether i like it or not. So, what do you all think? Do i need some oil on my rusty creative mind, thanks to my (slowly recovering) rusty hip joint?

what??? By the looks of this card, I'd say you've been stamping all month. You never appear to be in a rut, since the cards I see on your blog are always unique. I would not have looked at this card and said, oh, that's a Melissa card - always reinventing your style! that's a good thing!
by the way, I have a pack of really rust cardstock for you...:0) for your title change to sr. associate!:0)
Love, Claire
i like the card. I think it's modern and fresh. Hope you'll be feeling better soon!
