I know I’m a little bit crazy, but I’ve made it a goal to post something to my blog every weekday this year. So far, so good. Today was a bit of a challenge. I usually have a few projects made in advance, but today I had bupkis. I knew I was going to play along with the Splitcoast Stampers color challenge (CC464) today, so all day long I was creating a card in my head. Actually, the card just “came” to me! I love it when that happens! I’m usually CASEing someone else’s work, but this design is mine, all mine mwhahaha!
Here’s the crazy part: I left my job at 6:30 this evening, rushed to make it in time to Bible class at my church, followed by a parents’ meeting that lasted until 9:00. Then I had to drive home and pick up something really nutritious fast food because my neglected children hadn’t eaten dinner and our microwave is broken so they couldn’t even make popcorn. I got home at 9:40. We all wolfed down our food. I sorted the mail (bill, bill, recycle, recycle) and then ran up to my stamp room to create this card. I got ‘er done in record time (even after I made a few alterations to my design), snapped a pic of it with my iPad, edited the photo and uploaded and blogged about it here and it’s 10:40. Wowza! I must be the Flash tonight.
The challenge was to use Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie, Primrose Petals and a neutral of our own choice. For a “bonus,” we were challenged to add an interesting background. I also paper pierced around the Primrose Petals medallion. I know! Pretty cute card (IMHO) that I pulled off in record time. (You do NOT want to see my stamp table!!)
What will I do tomorrow?! I guess we’ll all be surprised!
