I'm not especially thrilled with my handwriting. It's not very neat; it's definitely not uniform; and it rarely comes out the way I want it to. And let's face it... A Muse has so many original and fabulously cute handwritten sentiments that a stamper really doesn't *need* to use their own handwriting! But sometimes it's fun to try something different... to step out of your comfort zone. Are you up for a challenge? How about handwriting your sentiment instead of stamping it? If you'd like to play along, be sure to post a comment with a link to your card. I'd love to see what you create! And I know some of you stampers have way better handwriting than I do!------------------------------

Becky this is adorable!!! What a great new use for this stamp! TFS!!!
This is such a great idea. I often forget that I can "just" handwrite on my card! Love this card, too and your penmanship is beautiful!
I have to agree with Geeta, your penmanship is GREAT! Here is what I came up with for you challenge, and boy was it a challenge :) I had fun though!! Thanks so much!

I always think your handwriting is wonderful Becky! And your card is just the cutest! Here's a link to a card I did today and used my own handwriting...I wanted a different look for the letters that I didn't have a font for! http://www.fleurdelispizza.com/cardmaking/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=3549 ~~Pam
You're handwriting is very well done! Any parent of twins would LOVE to get a card as cute as this one!
becky
your cards are awesome and your handwriting is NOT too shabby.
Every card you make is great. I will think about this challenge and see what I can come up with.
Actually, I always enlarge the card first and then read about it afterwards. I was trying to figure out where you got the sentiments! I think that your handwriting is beautiful.
HI Becky! Love your card...check out my blog, I did one too!!
