It is Just Paper

Today was great.  I got in some quality creative time and  browsed around Wally-mart.  When you live in North Bay you don't have the luxury of shopping around for things.  I had my favourite roast turkey sandwich with my daughters at Twiggs while my husband did the male bonding thing with Kennedy. I am finally winding down.  When I get a day like this where I feel pretty good it is such a surprise and a blessing.  I may pay dearly tomorrow but today I was flying.

Walmart here sells some gorgeous scrap booking papers by K & Company.  I buy the 12 x 12 pads and trim them down into smaller pieces for card making.  So today's card is from a sheet of that.  The brown dotted ribbon is actually cut from the reverse side of the same paper.  The flower on it is a K & Company embellishment and the sentiment is 2 die cut and embossed scalloped circles.  Walla! Another Thank You Card joins the ranks of the trillions of other cards.,  But its my card and I love it.

If you make cards yourself, do you ever feel like you're giving one of your babies away when you give or sell one  Its silly really, because I can duplicate the card later.  Its just paper.  Its just paper.  I have photographed every card I've ever made, including my more amateur early efforts. Just paper. Just paper!
