Hey Gill-friend

Hey there, everyone!

How's your weekend going?

This morning I was stalking the Oozak web store,

my favorite place to buy Copic markers,

because I'm waiting for a couple of re-inkers to come in.

While I was there, I happened to notice that they

have a challenge blog! I don't know how I missed that before.

Anyway, their challenges are month-long

and July's is to use bright colors.

I had to make a card to play along.

I've been doing this new thing --

when I stamp out the images I need for a card,

I go ahead and stamp out a few extra images from the set,

and color them all up on one sheet together.

I make my card as planned,

and if I need another image or two, I've got them ready.

If I don't, the next time I come to my desk,

I have these adorable images already stamped and colored,

just waiting for me to play with.

It makes it so much less intimidating than starting

a whole new card from scratch.

These images were leftovers from this card

and I think it turned out every bit as cute.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great weekend!
