Sorry about the hiatus. It was a whirlwind week of preparing for and then going on a Mid-Atlantic college road trip. Ds#2 is starting to think about prospective schools, so we went off to check out a few. I've come back wishing I could go through college again myself. So much to learn!
Therefore this post is of my desk last week when I thought I'd have time to share it with you. Better late than never. Up to now, I've usually shared my satellite desk in all its chaotic glory but since I cleared out of the sitting room, I'm back to facing the real studio. And this picture doesn't even capture it all. Believe it or not, this is after I cleared a work area on the desk. I'm determined to cull through the mess soon.
On the desk are a bunch of acrylic blocks I picked up in the dollar bin because I had a brainstorm idea about how I'd like to have my Paper Smooches Alphadot stamps more readily available for custom sentiment making. I put the clear stamps in the four corners of each block and will store them that way in a little plastic box on the desk. I wish I could say it worked well but I'm not sure yet. It's kinda cumbersome to just ink up the little corner of each letter when I'm creating a sentiment, but I'll keep trying it out.
I used this method when I made my hubby's birthday card. The flaps use embossed heart punches as handles for opening. The double-sided paper works well with this design.
I used Paper Smooches Party Posse and Chubby Chum Pals for the cat and bear images and I'll be submitting it to the latest Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge. Oh! Did I tell you that my last card won the last SPARKS challenge? Woo hoo!
Thanks for coming by. I hope to get back to creating now that our trip is over. Have a great Tuesday!

Hi Cindy,
That's an impressive studio! Your husband's card is great! I'm sure he's going to love it as much as he loves the maker!!!
Hugs,
Kay
