hugs

hello! i'm back with 2 cards to share today. got some new stamps recently and had some time to play.the card below was made from rolled text paper from a vintage dictionary.





does anybody ever spend hours looking for that one thing?? i spent 30 minutes last night looking for my gingher pinking shears. i walked away from searching because i was getting frustrated. then i couldn't help myself but to go look again for 20 minutes. sometimes i think that it's right under my nose and i'm looking too hard so i stop looking....go back and look and get frustrated again. here is the moral of this story: put things back where they belong right after you use them!! BTW, i still haven't found them. i need them desperately to finish a project i promised a friend. i might just have to go out & get another pair. [i'll be looking a.g.a.i.n. tomorrow]


thanks for stopping by!

I love that newspaper bird! And the sweet 'hugs' sentiment is really cute in that font! I am a total mess when it comes to finding some of my supplies! It gets so mixed up that at times I just give up and strategize something else to use on my card! It's bad! Hope you find them soon!

FAB cards...love them both. Oh man, I'm always setting stuff down and then can't find them...right now I'm looking for my ipod.

Ooh, I LOVE the rolled text papers inside of the heart! Looks soooo cool!!

I am the QUEEN of misplacing stuff and I've gotten a lot better at putting things away. Because you always think you'll remember where you put them and....they're not there. Have the B-Boys help you. Fresh eyes!

I love both cards, Ivy! The newspaper bird is so cut and I love the texture of your second card!

That happens to me all the time! I cannot, for the life of me, find my favorite pencil sharpener, and I need it bad right now! Drives me crazy!

Love the heart filled with rolled papers! And that newsprint bird is calling my name!

Yep, I lose stuff all the time cuz I put it down on my desk & then can't find it b/c it's so messy. Hope you find your scissors soon!
