You'll recall that during last week's Your Next Stamp blog hop, I posted a flagrantly political card featuring an elephant. I mentioned during that post that I would be discussing how that particular card came to be in my next CAROLE'S CREATIVE COMMOTION post on the YNS blog. That post is now LIVE, so head on over and read my explanation. Please! Leave a comment and make me seem popular. You could win free stamps, you know.
In the meantime, I must give equal time or the FCC will shut down my blog:
Phew! That's more like it... ;) Donkey stamps are hard to come by, but you can find this little guy - the So Sorry Donkey - on the YNS Website. I used this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch (#150) as my blueprint. Now go to my CCC post, where I ignore the good advice that one should never discuss sex, religion or politics. It's your duty as a citizen, you know.
Hi Carole; I just read your post and it was a great story. I found a FREE digi stamp of a donkey a while back and I am not sure you have it or not, but just in case... It is not a YNS but thought you might like it - http://meljensdesignsdt.blogspot.com/p/freebies.html
Just scroll down and save the image.

I am still giggling over this! I gotta have this donkey stamp! Oh my, my brain is just swimming with fun things I could do with it! Love the background paper you made. I wish our color printer was working. Living in Iowa it is sort of fun smoozing with the candidates. I won't get into the politics though of it. Thanks for sharing the card - I love it!

OH MY WORD!!! I just read the post on the YNS blog. YOU MADE THAT DONKEY PAPER!!! You are brilliant. If you saved the file and want to send it to your dear friend Libby, she would not complain. Not at all. ;-)
