I've gotta get outta here!

I just had to get OUT of my head yesterday!!!
NO more sketches or challenges did I need to comply with!!!
NOT that I am complaining... I do enjoy them.
But sometimes I just NEED to stamp something... create something... without limits...
I had these pps pulled from the "scrapfiles" ....
I just wanted to use them up!
And so... once I found some cs that would work...
...and rounded up 16 sets of stamps to play with....
...and cut everything...
and... dug out envelopes...
whew!
I barely inked up a stamp....
...and the babes woke up from their nap...
It's ok though...
I made 16 of these 6x6 cards and I worked on them last night too...
I finished them off today and thought I would share how they turned out...
I enjoyed getting out of my head
going with the creative flow,
using bitz 'n pieces of this 'n that
and creating without limits...
Here are the resulting cards...
[You might want to grab a snack and a beverage...]
 This is the last card I did...

 Reverted to an older 'colour blocking' technique on this card.
- - - - -
 I am LOVING the "custom pp" that I stamped for this card above and below...
 - - - - -
 I wanted to try a multi colour technique with the 'Upsy Daisy' SU stamp set...
 I did it a few times....
 It's fun and easy too!
- - - - -
These big bold images from the SU 'Word Play' set are the perfect thing for these BIG cards!
- - - - -
 I LOVE combining multiple stamp sets to create something unique and one of a kind!
 Once I stamped the butterfly I overstamped it with a cute wee stamp from the 'Tagger's Dozen' SU set!
- - - - -
 More mixing of stamp sets...
- - - - -
 Started making some cards for Easter giving...
- - - - -
 Another 'custom' stamped pp!
- - - - -
 All of the scrap bitz 'n pieces get used!
 Did a bit of 'not-so-fussy-cutting' too...
- - - - -
I even pulled out and dusted off the crimper!
I only ended up using 11 out of the 16 sets that I had pulled...
But that's alright...
I feel another "Stampin'-outta-my-head-session" coming on SOON!
