Making Hay While the Smog Chokes

*grin* Couldn't help myself. Thanks for all the well wishes yesterday. They were good for the spirit.

Since I was seriously limited in my mobility yesterday and the whole gasping for air thing was getting me down I decided to try to make something but only use what I could reach. I had a pad of Black Magic Core'dinations (In case you aren't familiar with Core'dinations, it's cardstock with a different colored core. I'd accidently bought the black magic pad which is all black with bright centers.), cuttlebug, a stack of images I'd stamped for other projects and my bag of recyclables for altering. Knowing I ruin everything I touch when I'm feeling this bad made playing with my trash a good choice.

I fetched my Sassafras Lass Hog Heaven page kit too. How I love those papers but cute pink stuff - or even cutesy blue stuff - just doesn't make it into my scrapbook pages so it was in the "okay to wreck" group. I sifted through my giant stack of stamped images I realized I needed a system. When I stamp I always make four or five of each image in case I mess up coloring. That usually means I get at least two spares per image. So far they'd been stacked in a "to do" pile. Not pretty. So I made this:


Pretty! And it follows my rule about making things pink if I want them left alone.

Then I decided to tackle my desire to have my Bombshell Stamps neatly organized and separate from my other unmounteds. I found a recipe folder in my junk bag made this:




I wanted to do the CPS challenge this week but was still stuck with what was within arms reach so I made this card for Sketch 79 with the core'dinations cardstock and an image I colored months ago:



All in all, I had a lot of fun and my house is a little more organized for the effort.
