Time for a Twinkie!

Good Morning Everyone!

(Warning: The following is a small rant at my bosses!)

Yesterday I got the head's up from my bosses that we're all required to work overtime this week for our project deadline next week. They gave me the heads up yesterday....not last week! I think they forget I have a little girl that needs to be picked up from daycare, to be fed and bathed and I have a husband that doesn't finish work at 5pm who can just take over that role when I'm not available!? I require ample notification to coordinate someone to look after her until hubby gets out of work and not inconvenience them in the process. *insert rolling of the eyes here* Luckily for them between hubby and his mum, we have it worked out. (The fact is that I can't refuse paid overtime!)

So with that said, I will most likely be absent from my blog later this week since I won't have any free time to write any blog posts. That royaly blows too because I have four images (including a fabulous toad and huggable monster) that I colored up over the weekend that need to be made into cards and I now have no time to create them! Bah humbug! Hopefully they don't expect me to work over the weekend because I need my family (sanity and Edward) time!!

Rant over: Thanks for listening!

Ok, onto much more fun things, like the fact that it's Twinkling Tuesday today! Madelynn gave us another forgiving sketch to play with today! Phew! I think she might be taking pity on us for that second sketch she gave us a month ago! hahaha But seriously, it's been a month already since Jess asked me to be on Madelynn's DT?! Where on earth did that time go?

I pulled out my one and only Sarah Kay stamp for this challenge. I just adore this stamp! I like how it shows just the back of her head because now she resembles anyone's little girl.

I colored her with my SU inks and aquapainter again popped the matted layer of patterned paper on dimensionals for some depth. I had better find an online source for those Kaiser pearls because I'm running out...FAST! LOL


The rest of the Twinkies have made some beautiful cards today, so head over to their blogs to check them out! The list is on the left as usual. If you would like to play along, please upload your card to SCS or PCP using the keyword MTTSC6 so we can find it easily! :D

If you've like me and ever wondered how to do something with your blog, I found this helpful blog a few months ago that has helped me no-end! It's Blogs By Heather and there are tons of amazing hints and how-to's on it!

Ok, that's it from me for this week....I'm sooo sorry about that too. Think of me when you're home on your couches or at your stamping tables while I slave away here at work... :(

Under one hour!

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

There are lots of things you can do in one hour. For example I can paint my toe nails, bake a cake, pay some bills, dress my 3 year old, and even clean my tiny apartment. However, before this morning, I would have swore black and blue that there is NO WAY I could create a card in under an hour! I spend at least 45 minutes coloring an image and for me, picking out paper always an internal debate! I'll find the perfect paper in my stash then spend the next half an hour trying to convince myself that it's ok to cut it up! Hi. My name is Sandra, and I'm a paper hoarder! LOL

So this morning I woke up at 6am (from a crazy dream!) and remembered that today was Sketch Challenge day on SCS. I fired up the computer and peeked in at today's challenge, SC199. Now what happened in the next few moments, I don't know....but somehow I convinced myself in my sleepy stupor that I could actually make a card before going to work!!? Huh??


Fast forward one hour later and presto! One quick card! I was debating on whether to show you gals or not because it hasn't been hummed and haaed over by me for hours, but it's still a card in it's own right and for a one hour card it's pretty darn good! (Trust me when I say that I'm still shocked that I had this much energy and creative umph before work!)

The stamp is a Sarah Kay image put out by Stampavi. The detail on these stamps is amazing! I watercolored her as usual with SU inks and pulled a few patterned papers out of my stash that matched.

I might just do another card tonight to show you what a 3 hour card looks like! LOL
