Hello there!
Paula over at the OWH blog is doing Design Bootcamp on Mondays. LOVE IT! This week's lesson was on color. I love color. If you saw my house, you'd understand. I don't paint anything white! LOL
So my husband didn't 'get' my card. I thought it was clever. What do you think?
This is analagous colors, by the way (and also sketch 132):
No idea where this paper is from. Anyone? I cut the chevron part by hand following the pattern! LOL |
This is the inside. QuickKutz heart die, Lawn Fawn ABC's |
Today my eldest was sick and stayed home from school, so while the girls played relatively quietly and rested I decided to organize the 'scrap pile' and put all the pieces back with the 6x6 pad they came from. You guys? If I ever mention paper again this year, YELL at me.
These pads are mostly new. |
Pads that only have a couple of sheets remaining are in the baggies. The bin has pads that are about half used. |
That black basket is FULL of half-used pads. |
So. I figured I better post pics to keep myself accountable. Hi, I'm Jen, and I love paper....

Hi Jen. My stack is bigger than your stack. I'm embarrassed. :-( Pat Kinkaid
ReplyDeleteYou don't even want to see my stash. I talked to my mom tonight and she said she bought me 3 stacks today alone. Eep! I need paper like I need a hole in the head. :)
ReplyDeleteThats a lot of paper! I think the hall of shame has mamy members. For the scraps. I take off the front cover. I make an envelope on the back of it. I put the scraps in the envelopes. Been working all day with my REALLY old Basic Grey pads. It doesn't look like I made a dent. Meanwhile a cute pad of Bo Bunny is crying to be used. One of my daughters bought me 3 pads from M's for Christmas. Oh my.
ReplyDeleteI may not have the 6x6 pads but I do have a few 12x12 pads. Since I was a scrapbooker before a cardmaker I have boxes of 12x12 paper.... AND I've given away boxes of 12x12 paper.... AND I still have enough to make cards till the dinosaurs return.... yeah, I'm Lynn and I have paper! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteUm. I'm worse. Not only do I have a shelf of 12x12, I have a filing cabinet of 8.5x11, two shelves of commercial samples from a printshop, 10 or so 6x6 in various states and three plastic shoeboxes of cut down stock. I'm Yolanda and I love paper. That's why I had to take up mixed media collages too LOL.
ReplyDeleteHi, my name is Cindy... and I too, am a paper-a-holic. If there was a fire in the scrap basket, I'm not sure I'd be sad. However, it probably wouldn't take long to replace it... lol.
ReplyDeleteHAHA Oh heavens, I think paper is everyone's weakness. I see paper & oohhhh that's would great for such & such. I have a rolling rack for my 12x12 DP, a shelving unit for my 12x12 solid colors, 1 drawer with hanging files of 8 1/2x11 solid color (and one behind each color for scraps). I'm in the process of converting another filing drawer for 8 1/2x11 DP & scraps. I have a huge pile of 12x12, 8x8 & 6x6 pads that I haven't had a chance to do anything with. You are NOT alone girl!
ReplyDeleteHeyyyyy... That's some nice paper wrangling that you did there. :) I like your card a lot .. I totally "get" the beating heart thing and I think it's super cute! TFS!
ReplyDeleteUmmmm. I don't even want to think about sharing my scrap piles.... They are sorted by season.... ;) You are not alone in your love of paper!
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm Jen, and I love paper.... LOL. Hmmmm... and to think you kept inspiring me last year to "use what I have". :) I don't have nearly as large a paper stash but I do have way to many stamps that never see the light of day so i can totally relate. I am currently tackling sorting and deciding what stays and what gets sold or given away.
ReplyDeleteJen, I love your card! I don't even want to admit how much paper I have! I just donated a 10" stack of 12x12, and could donate many more and still have plenty!! I received the ink and fun little treat also. Thank you!
