I have to say it, Alaska is amazing! I am ready to go back. All trip I was making a
'next trip' list.
And once home there was mail (SU orders!), newspapers, messages, laundry - there still is laundry. But priorities! Tonight I worked on a project I have been putting off - the One Sheet Wonder.
There are many versions out there, but the objective is to create a dozen or so cards using only one sheet of Designer Series Paper, along with regular Whisper White or colored card stock. It is intriguing.
While catching up on mail I saw where my ever-so-talented upline Susan Elise stamped her own DSP to use for her one sheet wonder. That was far more appealing than using my stash, after all I must save that DSP for ...
So tonight I stamped only an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of Whisper White with Bunch of Blossoms in the new In-Colors ~ a relaxing project. Then I only had to choose a mat and a greeting.
I trimmed and matted and created 9 cards. I could have squeezed out a few more if I had been a little more economical with the stamped DSP. Oh,and I got to break out my new Layering Circle Dies!
I will give and send these to customers with their orders this month/today! I have left them flat for mailing- no dimensionals or embellishments. I also designed them to be fairly simple so that they can be easily duplicated and so that the recipients can add their own touches if they'd like. Hopefully the ladies will indeed use them, as in mail them! It's OK to hoard paper, but not cards!
So, it was nice to get my hands inky again, and in a relaxing way. And once September arrives with the new holiday catalog, things may not be exactly relaxing, but they'll be exciting. Not sure when Flirty Flamingo is going to see the light of day again!
