 A little pile of images I had colored at work with my ( duplicate) pencils I have there, but I did not take that little blue zipper bag with me in advance so, none of the pigments have been melted as of yet. It's kind of funny because, I had fully intended to color up some fall- ish warm drink type images because, there is a fall coffee lovers hop starting this coming friday. but, what was colored was Christmas and Patriotic. ( I also have a tin of previously stamped images at work for just this reason to color during the hurry up and wait that happens there)

I have my limits to how long and how much disorder I can tolerate so, I hit the wall and had to clean up everything last weekend . I did make 2 cards after that one for the Inspiration Challenge and one (below) for the featured stamper challenge that will probably go to my mother in law next month. so, the remains of what was out on Sunday afternoon are still sitting here but, it won't take that long to clean them up to make the next mess. off to the left are a couple of images I had colored last week with some papers that may work for them on top of some things in progress that I ended up putting into clear sleeves. ( larger than say an avery elle pocket these are sleeves that would fit an 8.5x11" piece of paper without bending it) this particular view shows you some of the mess that hides under the table.

The featured stamper challenge headed to Rachel's gallery this week and I loved how she tucked the sentiment into this card so, that was the jump start for mine. on mine those wreath dies are from last years Hero Arts (sept) kit of the month. and there was such drama about people really wanting this set that did not buy it who were disappointed with the amount they had for sale ran out before those people bought them. I had this whole guilt thing going on and I set this kit aside and did not play with it. So, when I looked at Rachel's card I knew I had wreath dies hiding and I dug them out. I changed the stamps ( this sentiment is from Elizabeth Crafts) and the colors and switched the pearls for buttons. but, I think you can see the bones of her card here. Thanks for stopping by!
