I am avoiding finishing my Valentines...I have no idea why and they need to be in the mail no later than Friday. In the mean time I was doing a little cleaning and straightening in the crafty space. I tend to go immediately to organizing when I am avoiding things...I did it while I worked and I still do it.
I was putting away a package of card stock I had gotten from Close to My Heart. There are several sheets of two sided papers all 12X12. I buy them for scrapbooking. There are some amazing patterns and papers and I do LOVE paper. In each pack there are 2 sheets of designs intended for those pocket scrapbook--or use compartmentalized sheet protectors. I have always found these to be a waste for me...but I haven't thrown them out. Its two sheets and one side has the images in portrait orientation, the other side in landscape orientation.
I wish I had taken a photo before I started cutting up this set, but I did take a photo of it from the catalog.
Those designs are not my cup of tea for scrapbooking...but I think they made some darned cute little note cards about 3.5 inches square. I added only the card bases and the bling in the form of glitter tape and some enamel hearts and dots. 6 cards out of 2 pages destined for the trash bin - I say that is a save.
Thanks for stopping by!
