(and sometimes technology is great!! i figured out later that a draft of my post had actually saved, so i was able to recover it. yeah! enjoy!)
Good morning!
Today is my Grandma Dusin's 85th birthday! That's quite a feat!
I will admit that I am actually terrible about remembering birthdays. Okay, I guess that's not it, it's more like I am terrible at remembering to do something for birthdays. A lot of times I remember them, I just don't remember to do anything about them.
Which is why the cards from that 25-card workshop (see one of previous posts) would really come in handy, if I ever get them finished! (I had plans last night, but instead finished reading my book - knew I shouldn't have even started it ... do you ever stay up late to finish a book only to be seriously disappointed by the ending? Yeah, that's what I did last night. I was quite angry - seriously, I stayed up late and this is the ending I get?)
Anyway ... so, this morning I went downstairs to make my grandma a card - a day late, but better than never, right? I was going to use one of my half-finished Bella cards, but they didn't match with the stamp set I wanted to use, Cupcake Sprinkles (yes, I'm weird, I know, but they have to match).
So, instead, I took an old Level 1 Paper Pack, Floral Tapestry, and cut up one of the sheets (and I could have made four cards with that) and easily added my sentiment, and some ribbon, and then it was done. They are great to use for cards! And, pretty too - they make the cards look much more complicated than they actually are!
I'm including pictures of the cards ... please post any of your own that you're proud of or e-mail the photo to me. If it's your birthday today, Happy Birthday to You!
Happy Tuesday!
