WOTT + a Golf Card

Time for another WOTT wherein I reveal the mess that is my crafty table. Please observe:

It's rare that I have fewer than 4 projects going at once. To prove it, let's do those numbers:

0. A pile of cut-apart Lattice parts from the SU die. I wanted to play with cutting them into different shapes and putting them together with different innards, and, well, I just never did anything with them. They've been here for weeks.
1. Inks. Lots of inks. My go-to inks.
2. Lots of 2s on this pic. These are the Copics I have out for the various projects in progress. If I put them away I'll forget which colors I was using and I don't have time to start over.
3. The pile of 3 matryoshka dolls I spent hours - HOURS - making and then decided not to use. I really should put them in my UFO drawer, but I haven't yet.
4. A pile of papers of printed-out cards for inspiration. I have my Stamp Camps this weekend and I'm still down 2 cards. I need help. A lot of help. On top of that pile of papers is a printed tape measure and some Dimensionals.
5. Another printed tape measure on top of a pile of printed digital images that are on deck for cards.
6 + 7. A butterfly stamp I used to make cards I may or may not send to someone, so they haven't been blogged + a punch I took out a few weeks ago and refuse to put away until I actually use it.
8. A collage I'm working on for the online class I'm taking from Claudine Hellmuth. I'm trying to grow that elusive collage gene. Oh, and those printed tape measures in 4 & 5 are extras, in different sizes, that I'm playing with (with which I'm playing) for that collage.
9. Another punch I took out like a month ago and ... see #7.
10. A CARD! A card that I made last night and is almost ready for prime time. It needed birds, so there it sat.

Okay, that's at least 4 projects in progress. I'm never bored. Never.

Now about that card that needed birds. Here it is (then I'll explain):

Once again, what seemed simple is never simple in my world. I needed some more Father's Day cards, so I took out my Taylored Expressions "Boys Will Be Boys" set and decided to use this image for 2 cards. I stamped the putting green image on white with the intention of die-cutting it, then I'd stamp the green again onto a piece of ... green card stock to add color and texture and interest and all that jazz. But then nothing fit around the stamped image to my satisfaction (out of a bazillion Nesties - I KNOW!) so I decided to cut it out. I'd already cut out the green greens, and now I was cutting out the white greens and the flags. If I had known I was going to do all that cutting, I would have just cut out the flags from the white parts and called it done. Sigh.

The green layer is a piece of Core'dinations Beach papers. If I was smarter, I'd dry-emboss that baby and sand it a little to reveal the color on the other side, but nope; I just wanted a greenish textured paper. It's how I roll.

The clouds and sun are MFT dies cut out of various scraps of felt and paper, respectively.

I then realized this is not a Father's Day card at all. It's just a golf card that could be used for Father's Day. You know what that means, right? I don't have to put it away and store it for 11 months if it doesn't sell! Whoot!

Oh, did you notice I'm using a lot of s-crap these days? Yes, I'm very proud. Don't forget we have a new challenge over at Shopping Our Stash today where we ask you to use a UFO (Un-Finished Object). Here's mine from this morning. (I know, two posts in one day. Bizzy bizzy bizzy.) :)

Thanks for stopping by!
