Bliss... the state I am in because I had the time and took the time to make two cards in the last two days -one of which I can not post yet :)! It feels so good to have some time back! This card has no destination yet but I think it will be the perfect anniversary card for the right couple or who knows- perhaps another occasion will come up and strike me as right for this saying. The card is made from some odd pieces- the green floral piece is a piece of floral ribbon, I just trimmed the edges to the flower shapes and glued it on. I love that it gives the card some different texture and interest. The large flowers are from a spray I had on my front door for years - a bit of distress ink makes them look perfect for this project, the music is from old sheet music and the remainder of the card is from stash... I am trying to use sayings- I have tons and never quite know what to do with them but I am liking them oddly cut and applied to the cards.....On another blissful front... this past weekend I participated in a craft supply sale. I must say I spent about three times what I made but that is the fun of it! I did sell some large pieces (paper storage, magazines, etc), so I am slowly cleaning out. I never seem to be able to part with supplies even though I should! I was able to purchase some paper (silly I know!), some eyelets, some stamps (again with the silly), lots of embellishments, a sizzix alphabet, and lots more I can not remember.... FUN FUN FUN and bargains to boot....my fav!

ooooooooh! OOH OOH OOOOOH! ♥♥♥ this card is *TOTAL* bliss, miss debb!!! total!!! wow! how gorgeous, and layery, and wonderful, i could just sort of stare at it for ages!!!
ps re supplies: well heck, we're NEVER gonna be "travel light" only buy-what-you-need-right-now gals, are we?! (in our defense, such folk--whom i admire!--generally can not make a decent collage b/c they never have any misc. "bits"!!!) i think getting rid of some of our own (boring) old stuff and acquiring (interesting) NEW old stuff (at low prices) is an admirable way of accomodating our habit in a sensible way!!!) (& i shall be happy to put that in writing under an official-looking seal for mr. debb, should it become necessary!!!) :) :) :)
