I just had a complete blast admiring all the amazing and talented entries last week at Make It Monday and I'm so excited for yet another week of inspiration!
It appears that everyone has received something new to craft with and I could literally spend hours on everyone's blog learning new techniques, admiring layouts and styles or just drooling over an adorable image. 2012 is obviously going to be a most influential, educational and motivational year!
Take for example my

So, whatcha' waiting for?
#71 Linky Party is now OPEN!!
And to join in the festivities, we have a brand new Sponsor!!!
Who is so very graciously offering the winner 7 single digis
This is right up my humor alley....
I've colored this lovely couple with Copics and cut them out using Spellbinder's hearts and then a coordinating heart for the sentiment which is also from Bugaboo.
Splashed a little color on some graph paper for visual dissection of the white and rubbed on a few "eternal" sayings found in my stash. Printed out a cute and fitting ticket sentiment from Digi Stamp Boutique, a gift from our very own Make It Monday wonderful leader. Thank you Michelle!
The ball and chain is not included in this image. I drew this and added it on as a funny afterthought.
So hop on over to Make It Monday and give those hard working, talented ladies some love and share your creative endeavors with us!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog to see what I've created from my messy desk!
A HUGE welcome to the new followers...thank you ever so much! Also for the daily dose of positive, humorous and encouraging comments that I'm blessed to receive from you!
