Your Next Stamp:  Sketch challenge #65 (http://yournextstamp.com/blog/)

WOW!  I have not made a card in over a month....   I had this crazy idea of redoing my scrapbook room,  I figured paint, flooring new desk how long could it take..........and it still is not put back together. Hard to believe how one can accumulate so much stuff.

Love the new room and it is slowly coming together.  Found my inks, copics and papers and I had to have some down time.

Love this image by Di's Digis, "Chicken Run:.  Colored with my Copics,  love the new MFT die,  and I pulled out my MINC machine to foil the sentiment.  DP is from Doodlebug.
