I always pick about 5 or 6 possibilities from each Queen's gallery and then see what I am almost capable of not making too much of a mess. I chose this CARD This is my a little fancied up version. I am so pleased with myself because I made myself finish the envelope and the inside and the back of the card. I have about 50-75 cards made in different stages of completion. Once I get it ready for its close up, I abandon it and move on. So it is hard to locate all the papers etc to complete it in the future. But I am turning over a new leaf, for the last three cards I have made I have finished!!! I don't do the sentiment until I get ready to present it, but I have a lot of them stamped cut and ready to pop on when necessary.
This card was made using a Rubber Stampede image and misc papers, punches and embossing folders.
Now back to the task of completing all those partials. I am determined to get them in my completed file.....

Beautiful work! What wonderful ribbon to purdy this up! Great job on finishing things - I have dozens of partially completed things in my 'rubber room' - every time I get a new 'toy' I have to test it out on something random but then I have to save the 'test run' in case I can use it...

Beautiful Phyllis, love the gold eb dp and flowers, the ribbon is so pretty. I know exactly what you mean, I have a lot of card that aren't finished on the inside. I did go back and figure out my envelopes sizes to make on my MS scoreboard when the time comes. I made templates for each size envelope that I needed. So when the time comes it will be faster to make them for the odd size cards. Thank you for joining in the fun today, Hugs Irene

Phyllis, this is GORGEOUS!! I don't think you have to worry about making a mess of anything! These poppies in the pinks are stunning. I like the accompanying panels you have as well.

Wow, this is so beautiful! I have the opposite problem, I have 50-70 cards in my head and nothing started. lol. It takes me a good while to start one and then several days to finish, so concider yourself ahead of the game and good luck with finishing them up. lol.

Whoa, of all your cards that I've seen, this is by far the most gorgeous! It's rich, elegant and so sophisticated. Fabulous design and that image is a stunner for sure. I love this card. Great casing. Now, onto all of those partially finished cards of yours.Let's take this step by step, okay? You can do this, I know you can. Work with me here, will you? Take 2 cards out tomorrow (yeah, I'll be working with a buyer while you're working on your partial list over there in TX). Whatever 2 cards you select, sit down, focus and decide what you need to do to finish them. If you do this every week, just think by January 2053, you should be able to move them over to your finished group. Sound like a plan?
