Saturday Sketch Challenge 119 -- Sense of Time

when I checked my email this morning there was a bunch ;)

one from a blog that I subscribe to regularly, her challenge was was to create a card in 15 minutes -- reading that, I immediately panicked, I couldn't even find my stuff in 15, let alone pull off a design & finish the card!! thinking NOT possible for me... http://www.stampinchic.com/2009/10/ten-minute-card.html ( I really like her inspiration)

so, on to another email & there was stamping 411's new Saturday challenge... I posted & printed that one... http://stamping411.blogspot.com/
then there was breakfast, laundry & fighting kids, oh boy...
all I wanted to do was make a card... washer was making a funny noise so that is on hold, I forced myself to vacuum & threw the kids out to play ;)
my turn to play! thoughts of the 15 minute challenge were still haunting me... lol, then it dawned on me, dah!, use exactly what I had left out from last night (ONLY) along with the 411 sketch that I had tossed on top...
it worked!! in about 15 minutes, minus the interrupted by a phone call or 2, plus the kids fighting again -- I have managed 2 challenges with 1 card!!!


SU whisper white, rich razzleberry CS & SU Razzleberry Lemonade designer paper, SU modern label punch, SU finial press textured embossing folder, SU rich razzleberry & sahara sand inks, tag fr Two Tags bigz diecut ( yes, they had already been cut & were in the stash for another project), SU Sense of Time stamp set, SU Very Versatile stamp set & SU purely pomegranate ribbon.

Saturday Sketch Challenge 119

Here are some possible measurements for this weeks layout.

Layer 1: 4 1/4" x 11, scored at 5 1/2" and folded in half.
Layer 2: 4 x 5 1/4"
Layer 3: 2 1/4" x 5 1/4"
Layer 4: 2 x 5 1/4"

The rest of the layers you would cut to size based on your image and maybe use punches for the decorative elements. I like to measure the block of wood for my top layer, and add a 1/4 inch on two sides when adding a matte.
