Day 25 of the challenge. Not quite sure who the explorer is -- the noble sits atop his fine horse and his assistant has to walk every mile (and do all the chores, too!) so maybe we should consider the assistant as the real explorer. #GelyPostcardPlay

New Life for Unwanted Paper: Masterboards
As usual, the battle of scraps continues. This is a 12 x 12 inch masterboard I made today. And the scraps are still piled high. This will be cut into smaller pieces such as tags and journal cards. The base is a 12x12 piece of paper that I got in a paper pad, and it was not something I would otherwise use. I then covered it with book page and layered embellishments atop that. Rotating the page insures that there will be no "right side up issues" when it is cut.

Day 20 of the challenge. This one has a background of fragile old music paper, covered with vellum I printed, and a pair of butterflies drifting across it. The gel print element is backing the number. #GelyPostcardPlay

Paper Clips Gone WIld!
I've been having fun creating paper clip ephemera. Some of them are paper clip slips, inspired by Tracie Fox; others are paper clips with tassels that also serve as bookmarks (but ones that don't fall out!). Here are some photos:
