Home is Where the Heart Is.....

Home is where the heart is... how true.... I made this card rather quickly last night (meaning in under 2 hours!) - hurray for me! It is based on this week's sketch # 19 for OWH S&S. I wanted to try Karen's pinwheel technique (shown here at the OWH S&S blog) as well as use this SU paper from a pack my Mom recently gave me.... My thought was to make a pinwheel and then cut it into a shape. The problem was, I the paper made me think of the saying home is where the heart is so I really wanted to put homes in the center of the pinwheel and the scrap I had had the homes straight on so I couldn't cut them on a diagonal (And I am too cheap to cut into a whole new sheet for this tiny center!).... see where I am going here? Yep, not pinwheel! So instead I did a patchwork/log cabinish pattern and cut the heart... The pinwheel will get tried later....
The paper is SU, with the exception of the pink dots, the heart a sizzix die cut, and the sentiment hand written (because it would have taken me another two hours to search thru for a saying, rubs ons, or a stamp!)
So do your cards morph like mine? Do you start with an idea and build from there? Or do you completely plan your entire card out in your head? Or are you more like me and pick up a piece of paper or stamp and just see where it brings you (in my case usually hours and hours later!)
I still need to print of the digis from the weekend hop so I can get busy on them! I tend to think to do it at night when I want to sit and color in front of the TV but by then the hubster is usually on the computer! Must learn to plan ahead....
