On Saturday it rained all day. It was good for me because it gave me plenty of time to clean up my scrapbook room and make some new projects. It was a great feeling to accomplish two major goals without too many distractions.
I pulled out the Paper Pups cartridge to see what I could make with it. I can't believe how many cards I came up with in a day. I find that it is easier and faster to cut out a bunch of images and then decide what to do with them later. This does 2 things: it saves time and paper. After I cut out the images, I go back through all my scrap papers and just try to mix and match papers that I think will work well together. After I get the front of the card made, I go back and put on a title and/or add a vellum quote on the inside. Most of the time I leave the cards blank.
I love blank note cards because I love letters that express the person's thoughts rather than Hallmark's. In this digital age, I think we have lost the art of letter writing to e-mail and text messaging. I'd much rather get a handwritten card from my husband, instead of a card that he just signed his name on.
I digress. Here are the pictures of my latest creations. I hope you like them. Have a great wekk.
