Do you ever sit down to scrap and then you just can't get anything to flow? That happened to me last night. So I decided to just have fun and make a quick card. Not for anyone in particular, just to get the mojo flowing! I sat and cut, punched and layered, and this is what I made:
I was going to make a little "rainbow" of colors and find little bits and pieces of papers and ribbons and lay them out like a rainbow. But when I got started on it, I decided I really loved the kraft color of the chipboard, so I let it be! (This border chipboard is actually a 12 x 12" strip that I cut it down to fit my card. It's made by Dusty Attic and you can find it
HERE - Fancy Trim #2.)
Then I remembered I had bought this American Crafts ribbon awhile back at AC Moore and never used it, so I just cut some strips to add for the sentiment. Sorry for the bad photos, I took these last night under flourescent lights. :) I've been seeing lots of pages with "strips" of different colors/patterns and love that look, so I wanted to try it out. Made the photo corners myself with some Girls Paperie paper.
It's very overcast and looks like it's going to rain today. I started feeling sick last week with a headache and body aches. Today I feel the worst so far, with a sore throat and very stuffy sinuses on top of the headaches and body aches. Now I know why the mojo wasn't flowing last night! Kati stayed home on Friday from school with it and now we are all sick with it here. I hope these nasty bugs go away soon! Enjoy the rest of your weekend. xo
