Creating amidst chaos

Kymberlee here from The Paper Midwife.

You know I am one of those people that try as you might to understand me, I just don't make sense! REALLY!  Sometimes I even do things that amazes even ME! Take for example the fact that I know that the second Wednesday of every month it is my turn right here on this blog. It is ON the calendar and everything. So WHY then did I feel the need to start ripping apart my studio for the sake of "organizing" two days ago? Well, heck, if I knew the answer to that then I might take a shot at curing cancer or finding world peace. Since I don't even know why I do what I do; I will just share with you a quick card that I made from scraps (my garbage pail) and my Copic sketching & coloring skills. If you saw the state of my studio you wouldn't wonder why I was digging in the garbage...it is the ONLY thing I can REACH!



New things I tried:
I used some Smooch to put some highlights on the flowers after I colored them with Copics
I used some Crackle on the left side of the bottle where the highlights might be
I kept it very simple and didn't over think it.
Believe it or not, digging through the garbage in my studio is NOT a new thing for me ;)

I hope you all have a GREAT HOLIDAY and that you take the time to reflect on your blessings and most importantly that you LIVE IN THE MOMENT.

  5. Gorgeous card, Kimberlee. I love the coloring. and I always seem to need sympathy cards (sadly). I try to keep organizing my craft room to a minimum. I can never find anything once everything is organized.
