This is part of my organization this week. I know a person or two who will roll their eyes (yes, you Marianne!) but they make sponging so much easier! The pieces of sponge I had been using were just a guess as to what color they were. So, there were times I was getting purple in my pink sponging and black in my navy. I've been wanting to make these sponges for several months. I just took the round sponge and cut it into 6 pieces. Then punch a tab out of colored cardstock and staple it to the sponge piece. I store them in a plastic container that used to hold my DMC yard when I did cross-stitch.
Here's my daubers. I need to get some clean daubers and keep them uncontaminated too. I bought this plastic holder last year at CKC.

So, here is the picture I did today using my nice clean sponges! It's a CASE from Michelle Zindorf - but sponging instead of brayering. The recipe is below the card.
Cardstock: Whisper White, More Mustard, Basic Black, Taken With Teal
Ink: Tempting Turq., Ballet Blue, Bashful Blue for sky and water / More Mustard & Creamy Caramel for sand
I stamped the tree and palm leaves (from the Summer Mini) in Basic Black. I made the island using the corner of my black pad. I stamped "summer" (from an old wheel that I had cut apart) on half of a Top Note die.
Don't you wish you were in that blue water or on that island in some exotic locale??? We can dream can't we! One of my stamp club gals came to my house yesterday straight from a trip to Hawaii! Lucky Dog! She flew in at 8:30 a.m. and came to my house about 1 pm after no sleep. That is dedication!!
