CQC #184

Good evening!

I didn't get my quick computer time in this afternoon like I'd planned, so I'm trying to squeeze in a quick post while kids are taking showers. HA! Don't we become master clock manipulators once kids are in the picture? Wow. Sometimes it seems so hard to do anything! :)

I played around with a couple of projects earlier today and made this card to go along with the Colour Q challenge.





This card was fun because I basically put it together with items that were laying on my desk. You know the pieces you've cut out for a project and it didn't quite work out, but you can't bear to throw it away? That could just be me with my unhealthy aversion to wasting anything. I think I'm turning into my Dad! :) (Who banned me from throwing away any jar of Miracle Whip as a pre-teen because he swore he could get two more sandwiches worth of mayo out of the jar that I had thrown away.)   ... good memories! 

The black border, the embossed vellum, the gray card base and the label I stamped my sentiment on were all  piled up in front of me on my desk. It was exciting not only because I liked how it all came together, but because it's now out of my way. Two birds, as they say....

The stamp is "Heartfelt Phrases" from Verve Stamps; the heart is cut and stamped from my CTMH Art Philosophy Collection; Pink Glitter Gems and gray button are CTMH; and the embossing folder is "Julie's Garden" from Cuttlebug. 

Thank you for stopping by!

  2. I'm the same way. I keep everything down to the smallest piece of paper. You just never know when you might need it. Love that you created a card with what you had laying around. Turned out great. Thanks for joining us this week at the colourQ.
