First I'll share my card for today which is partly a product of the clean up process. The embossed piece and all the flowers were scraps just waiting to be turned into a card. This is for a challenge that Kris came up with, a sketch with a color challenge to use purple and yellow. Yellow is my favorite color but I don't normally pair it with purple! I paired a Barely Banana card base with Pale Plum and Lovely Lilac. Too bad I stamped the sentiment crooked!

Here is the reason I was actually excited to have lunch canceled...four free hours that I had nothing planned to do, and this:

What a mess! Where's the floor? Or the couch?


I organzied all of my Sizzix dies and all my embossing plates in drawers. I think I'll go through and emboss something with each of the folders and plates for a quick reference. The dies are labeled so I know what I have at a quick glance. I don't have anything in the drawers below them yet, I'll have to see what I have that I don't use much.

After a lot of cleaning and reorganizing and throwing away of who knows what, I found my table (and the floor!) and think I like the setup. The couch will be a project for another day, though many items have already been rescued.
And this picture was taken AFTER I made the card. The only things left out on the workspace are things for my afternoon projects. But I was hungry for lunch. How long do you think I can keep it clean????

Thank you SO much for playing in my challenge.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you combined purple & yellow.
Looking forward to showing off your creation this Friday. :)
Beautiful card! I love that color combo...not something I would usually use either. And way to go with the reorganzing. Enjoy your day off!!

ReplyDeleteGood for you for using scraps off your desk. Your card is cute. I think yellow and purple make a great color combo.
ReplyDeleteSo did you get much snow in NH?
It's fun to get things organized and neat isn't it. But I hear what you are saying about keeping it that way. It's a struggle :-)
