I made this card 4 times! The Daily Paper Prompt was Certification so obviously it was going to involve handwriting...the bane of my artistic life! I knew right was my certification would be in time juggling. That's some thing I've been doing a lot of the last few weeks. Dad's been up and down health wise and we had a 4 day trip to the hospital which I had to balance with work. Then Nick was home from school, which is always a wonderful thing but then Greg ended up in the hospital. And of course I had to get back to work on Monday and there were piles of laundy, dust bunnies all over the floor and a very cluttered and dirty kitchen. And my cousins from Pittsburgh were coming this week. I think that makes me a Time Juggler Extraordinaire!
Anyway, I knew what I wanted my card to look like but I had to get the darn writing on it. The sideways writing wasn't so bad. It's not as pretty as I would like it but it's passable. But when I went to do the center part of the card...Aye, yi, yi! Horrible. After 3 cards I looked through some other index cards in the Flickr group to get re-inspired and that worked because I saw Lenna's certification and remembered I had alpha stamps. I stamped most of what went that center section and then just wrote in my name (very plain and uninspiring) and put this one behind me.
They don't all have to be spectacular...just keep creating!
