Textures and Patterns

Tried some new patterns on this one to see how they'd work out. I'm liking it. May do more of that.

I carry a small zippy bag with precut ACEO blanks in my purse, along with my trusty Identi-pen. If I can get away from my desk at lunch, I'll scribble a quick doodle. They take maybe 10-15 minutes but make all the difference in my afternoon if I can dash off one of these.

These are great little doodles to do during lunch. Makes my day feel so much more productive when I have one of these little guys to show for it.

Letter G

Another lunchtime doodle. The usual Sakura IDenti-pen on preprinted cardstock. Includes a letter G stamp.

Love these Sakura Identi-pens. Permanent ink, hold their shape, don't dry out. Inexpensive. Beautiful.

Some days are just like that

Pretty much self explanatory, don't you think?

Black Sakura IDentipen on preprinted acid-free mat stock. One of those lunchtime doodles.

Looks like a nice assortment of paper types and weights, as well as envelopes.

I normally cut my own, but the thought of being able to buy pre-cut is very appealing!
