ShortCuts Week, Day 4

365 Cards Challenge:

Bind two pieces of something together {cardstock, plastic etc} to create a card. For example, use a hole punch and then attach using metal rings or yarn.

Okay, did you read my post from yesterday...I tell you I was in full creative mode...you know when that is....you forget about eating meals...don't hear the phone ring...or the fire detector {just kiddin'}. Anyways, I had the house to myself and I was minding my own business, creating away when one thing lead to another and my card blossomed into a mini album...shhhh...don't tell Pam...I'm thinking it is me being an overachiever and instead of it being a 2 page card it is a 4 pager...like some of the text messages I send out:)

I know how this all started...I cut a piece of full size frosted ShortCuts into 4 so that I could run it through my Big Kick with the Top Note Die. I decided, what the heck, I'll go ahead and just run all 4 through the diecutter. Then I started picking out my Sassafras papers and like I said, one thing led to another....The ring that binds the pages together is from a tape measure that I hijacked from my junk drawer..it has 2 charms on it, one is a beefy flower {as in solid, kwim?} and the other is an "inspire" charm.

I cringe at my handwriting but 40 years from now when I need to pull all the 'ole readers, I'll think, Jeez Amy, what a sloppy writer you were! LOL! Anywho's, thanks for making it all the way down to the end of my very long winded post....do I take Gloria's Rebel Crown or am I forgiven as an Over Achiever? LOL

Stay tuned for tomorrow...I'll have another ShortCuts projects using a different product!!! It's my day over at 365 Cards and I hope that you'll join me in the Thursday Challenge!
