Ink: Versamagic (Hint of Pesto), Tim Holtz's Distressed Ink (Antique Linen)

Not always the brightest star...

Yep, the not-so-bright star, that's me! So I will admit I was very excited to hear my Oregonian peep was hosting the Ways To Use It Challenge on SCS for last week. Perhaps I was too excited because I misread the DIRECTIONS and didn't figure it out until I had finished designing the card.

So here's my story...
I read the instructions, clearly, stating to use VERSAMARK! Yep, OKAY I can do that, right? All I need is get some Versamark inks?! So I went shopping at my local craft store to get some Versamark inks. The packaging says VersaMagic Chalk Inks; yep, that's what I need...nope because for some reason, I had it my head the two mediums were the same.

So basically, I've just designed a card with my own directions and then camouflage the whole ordeal by linking it to the challenge. So enjoy, the card...and sorry my {favorite} Oregonian peep!

So long Tim's cast of 5 weeks...

getting the mojo juices flowing...

It has been some time since i've last posting anything; life has been extremely busy for me and my craft room has not been the source of inspiration for me.

As a result, in the last couple days, my craft room has seen an overall. I got some book shelves to assist in organization which freed me up to get rid of some bulky items like a table and such. I'll share some pics later this week. I feel like I can breath in the room; here's my first creation since transformation. I participated in Mojo Monday 152 sketch challenge:

Feels great to be able to post on my blog; thank you for visiting!
