I've been going through my paper stash and I keep getting inspired by this or that paper to make a card. The problem is, all the ideas get jumbled up in my head and unfortunately, on my desk. I have a huge desk and today it looked like an episode of Hoarders, minus the wildlife and garbage. It's so bad, there isn't an inch of space to work on, so I've been using the pull out board things it has. I decided to clean it off and instead I got inspired by some of the stuff on it and made this card.
I discovered the JustRite stamp set " Greetings From Paris" hiding under some 6x6 paper pads, including the MME Lost & Found one I used here. I don't think I had ever used this stamp set before, and I had fun. I only used three of the thirteen stamps, and I think it's a great set ! This card has everything I like, layers and distressing, inking and stamping, diecuts, flowers, bling, ribbon and lace, and now my desk is worse off than it was before ! I did manage to uncover some really pretty paper, and now I have a new idea or five. LOL !
I am entering this in the JustRite Friday challenge "Suddenly Spring" found here : http://justritestampers.typepad.com/justrite-inspiration/2013/03/justrite-friday-challenge-093-suddenly-spring.html

ReplyDeleteYour desk sounds like my work space. It's amazing what I find when I clean it up. But, I usually start cleaning, get distracted by an idea, and never finish what I started. Hopeless! So glad to see you joining in on the 3Girl Jam pastel colors and ribbon challenge!
