Mass producing...

Every now and then I need to do things a bit differently with my card making ~ just to keep things interesting. I wish I could mass produce all the time just to get tons done, but I can't always work that way.

It all started because last weekend I wasn't sure what I wanted to work on so I just started coloring a bunch of the new Riley images. I only colored the moose parts, not the rest of the image because I wasn't sure what paper I was using yet ~ this probably took about 20 minutes. The next day, I pulled out my Papertrey Ink pattern paper with all the matching cardstock and ribbons ~ YUMMY ~ they are just gorgeous. I started cutting cardstock bases and then added pattern paper and ribbon all without thinking too much about what I was doing ~ I would say this step took about 30 minutes or so. The last step was to figure out which images I wanted on each card and finish the coloring & mat them ~ this took about an hour. VOILA ~ I had 9 cards done. I do think it was probably a faster process (probably because I didn't agonize about every little thing I put on the card). My lesson ~ sometimes you just need to Let Go A Little!

I realize they are not masterpieces, but that wasn't the intention of this experiment. Sometimes it's about making a work of art & sometimes it's about getting a lot done.

Stay tuned for the rest of my creations in the coming days...
