The Tall, Skinny Virus

I was talking to a friend the other day about viruses.

They are interesting little buggers - so hardy and well designed.

I was wondering though, why viruses are ONLY bad.

Why is it that we never hear about a virus that has raged through some population, leaving all of its victims tall and skinny?

Or one that has infected a LOT of people with smartness, or hilariousness or clear skin? Why is there no giggling virus?

You'd think out of the BILLIONS of viruses floating around us all the time, that just ONE of them would accomplish its goals while making its victim taller and skinnier and gigglier.

Anyway, should someone you know be infected with the tall skinny virus, you probably would NOT want to send them my card today, because they would probably NOT want to get well, ever.

I made this for part of a blog hop with My Sweet Petunia and Chameleon Pens.

Now I only had this Get Well Soup stamp in wood, and it made me mad, because I couldn't stamp it twice with the MISTI, so I ended up doing a "spot gloss" on the heart and the spoon, which you will see in the video.

But SINCE I bought this stamp, I've bought several wood stamps that I have converted for the MISTI. Just don't mount them onto the woodblock, and get yourself a few sheets of this cling film. I use the SU sticker to cut the film in the right shape, then pull the release paper off the stamp - plop the film onto the sticky cling mount, and BOOM - you have a cling stamp. No need to mess with changing out the sticky foam for cling foam - the cling vinyl sticks great.

And then you won't be sad that you can't stamp your cup twice :).

So here's my video - check it out and then come back to hear about the giveaways!

Okay - so both My Sweet Petunia and Chameleon are having giveaways! Over the next three Fridays, there will be posts on the Chameleon blog and on designers blogs, and you'll have the chance to win a MISTI (your choice of a mini or an original) and a pen set like the ones I'm using in the video - a 5 marker set, your choice of what color family. So check out these blogs today and then check back for an updated list next Friday and the Friday after!
