Sorry... I didn't have time to add samples this week.
How fun Jen! I will try to play tomorrow. I have VSN stuff to take care of. :twisted: I will try to do the challenge anyway though. Sounds like lots of fun!

Oh, I wish I could play, I have lots of office supplies, but we're off to the beach and won't be back until next Thursday. I have a computer there, so I'll sneak on to see what everyone's doing. Great challenge Jen!
Well I have paperclips, staples, garage sale tags and labels, so I should be able to come up with something don't ya think -- this is already confusing me!
oh... kewel.... I have some really neat 'clips' that I 'borrowed' from our supply room at work.... hey, no one uses them, they look like they've been there for ages!! I was gonna ask if I could have the whole box....
Yeah! I got mine done before leaving for work today! (helped in part by the fact that I actually colored this doggie with my new Prismacolor pencils a few weeks ago when I first trying them out!) I love using these binder clips on cards. Thanks for a fun challenge Jen, and more hugs and prayers to you for better health for your family!!! Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
I think all I've got is staples, so I guess I figure a way for using those. I did use them on my vbs treats I did yesterday, but they were cello toppers so that kinda doesn't count!
Wow can't believe I got here on the first page! That never happens! Must be summer is a busier time for people than I thought. Will find time to play today.

DH told me last night that one of my CCRAK to be cards isn't as nice as the others so maybe I can embellish it with some office supplies to improve it.
OH wait it has two kinds of ep- Is embossing powder an embellishment?
Oh man, I want to play! We are going out of town this afternoon and won't be back until Monday night. :(
Maybe if I hurry and get everything packed I will have time to work on this.
I don't often get out the stapler so I had fun with this one. I figured hodgepodge was "officey" enough, too. I also turned my card into a file folder. I've always liked the look of "officey" cards but haven't ever ventured there - thanks Jen!
I made a bookmark a little bit ago and have this one left over so I had a sample ready to go!!
The bookmark has the ribbon & fibers attached with a staple. Bookmark
Dawn, I saw your card and added it to my favorites. Loved the colors and the design. I noticed that you used baby oil with the prismacolor pencils. Does that work better than gamsol or mineral spirits?
Just wondering. The effect is really nice.

Well, I emptied the supplies cupboard -- just kidding! But I did use a lot of office supplies -- staples, paper clip, rubber band, metal rimmed tags, and the Wall Street Journal. Here's my best office supplies.
I have seen some really cards using labels, so I thought I'd try it myself. I also used that wonderful tool SAMJ to line up the diamonds, as best as I could. Office Labeled Flowers
Oh Jen!! Thanks for this challenge. I actually found myself giggling while making this card! Had a blast with it!

OK - Here's my card. I loved the colors but really struggled with this one. I think I had an idea in my head and just couldn't get it onto the paper. Don't 'cha hate it when that happens??
