Well, you know how I am always apologetic about neglecting my blog and my fellow bloggers? And how I'm always blaming one situation or another? All are legit excuses, but I thought I would share a rather typical construction of this card.
So, I've got my image stamped and colored and I think I want to use ribbon on the card, which I haven't done in a while. I get my pretty blue ribbons out and it makes me think about a video I saw making a rose with ribbon and I think I will give it a try.
That kinda made me hungry for a little snack and I remember the can of cashews. Now I'm thirsty so back to the kitchen for some ice water. While I'm there I think I should also make some coffee.
Now I'm back in my room and I cannot find that snowflake die I had laid out, and look for that for about 10 minutes, before I decide I really need to organize and start cleaning. A 1/2 hour later my desk is clean and I've found the die. Okay, back to the card. I will often us the back of a completed card to help me lay everything out. I've made my decision and have picked the sentiment, tested it on scrap paper, and it stamped beautifully. Then I realized.. I have just stamped on the back of a finished card. @#$%, Well, that will have to be fixed.
I finally finish and it's not perfect (like me). Do you see any ribbon on this card? My desk is once again a mess, and I have a full cup of cold coffee.
This is one of my commitments for a Splitcoast Christmas Card Challenge.

Love your story! Oh, how I can relate. I don't know how I can lose things in my work area so easily, but I do all the time. I always manage to get black ink marks on the backs of my cards and I have no idea how. Really annoying. I love the Santa card. the dimension on his fur is wonderful!
Ok, you have just hung around with me way too long! I'm rubbing off on you! That sounds like a typical nite for me, but mine would involve lots of candy too. The card is adorable, by the way!
This post made me laugh out loud. My hubby is looking at me like I am crazy to be laughing at the computer. I sooo do this all the time. My coffee is always cold and I lose things constantly. Thanks for the giggle. Great card. I have this stamp too but it would take me til Christmas to find it.
This is stunning I love it ,and I love your blog.
I like the way you craft Gail . Hugs Elaine
