USING UP THROW-AWAYS!!

Hi Everybody!

This is going to be my quick Thursday night post so I'm not even going to tell you about the trash going on in my life right now (lucky you, huh!).  Like all trash though, I just toss it out and then have a good laugh.  You have no idea how hard it is for me not to tell you all about my adventures the last three days.  Something exciting happens to me every day.  (Note: Your definition of excitement might be different than mine however.)  For example, trying to run through my patio door when it is closed is exciting for me -- and this usually happens a couple times a month.  Man, that is hard on the nose and sometimes the stars I see in my eyes are the colors of Baha Breeze, Rose Red, and Almost Navy (my favs!).  The doctor has told me I will probably be on my blood pressure pills for the rest of my life unless I cut down on my excitement.  I told her that would only happen if I grew 6 inches (according to her chart, I am not tall enough for my weight).

Okay, moving right along, today I did a card using up an image that I had watercolored, with SU's Watercolor Wonder Crayons, about 3-4 weeks ago.  I didn't like it and was going to throw away (I smudged a little of the black  StazOn ink when stamping).  I came across it when I was cleaning my desk and thought maybe it didn't look as bad as I thought.  So I came up with a whole new layout using a fold that I have done many times but never with it opening in this direction.  I ended up really liking it, mostly because it was different and gave me the opportunity to try a completely different layout.  So here it is:


It doesn't look like it in this picture, but I believe this is called either a Z-Fold or Joy Fold card.



This is how it looks when sitting on table.

Close up of the flower made out of nylon panties (LOL -- just for you Tamie), and cut with the new Fun Fold Bigz L Big Shot Die.  (The leaves are from the Bird Punch with a little free-hand lines drawn using Always Artichoke Marker).

I know it is a little boring looking at an image I had stamped previously, but I really loved how this card turned out and wanted to share (it is going to a very special person).  I hope you like it as much as I do.

Until next time,
Sandi
