When you don't have the right stamp...

One of the cards in the custom order I'm working on is a housewarming card for my customer's son.  She wanted brown and yellow, masculine, something with a house, and a specific greeting: "good times, noodle salad".  She said it is from a movie and that it is a common phrase she and her son use.

Well, I don't have a stamp that says "good times, noodle salad" so I had to improvise.  I opened up my word processor, typed it up, picked a color close to the soft suede ink that I was using, and stuck a piece of card stock in the printer.  I then used the curly label punch to cut out the words, distressed the edges a bit, and voila!  I think it turned out really cute!

What do you think?  Next time you need a specific greeting and can't find the right stamp, improvise!  Computers come in so handy, don't you think?
