So for this month's round of BRAK - Birthday Random Acts of Kindness I decided to make some different cards instead of an assembly line like I ususally do! I also decided to use scraps that I had saved to use later and just never used! I think that is something I want to do more of this year - use what I have and not spend (we had to put in two transmissions, pay off a school debt sooner than expected, and some other mis-fortunes along the way). I am putting my self on a spending freeze so I can catch back up - but don't feel bad for me at all...you should see what all I have to work with! I have my own little store!
But anyways - back to the point here...I made these cards to give and now I am not sure if I want to! Isn't that just typical??!!
Ink: {Ippity}
DSP: My Minds Eye (I think)
Cardstock: Georgia Pacific
Cardstock : Randome Brown Scraps
Stamp: Let Them Eat Cake - Stampin' Up!
Embellishments: Large Eyelets - Stampin' Up!
There will be more of these cards this week!!

Great work on this card Molly. The receipient will appreciate your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteLOL Molly I think most of us would say we have our own little store in our craft rooms, and I am totally with you on the spending freeze at the moment. I love the paper you have used for your card today the blue is so pretty and goes so nicely with the neutral coloured cardstock. I think using up all your scraps is a great New Year's Resolution.
ReplyDeleteWonderful card Molly. Give that card away-no hording. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Molly. I have been scrap card making too last night. It really gets you thinking and I think it stretches our creativity. Love blue and Kraft together.
ReplyDeleteGreat card Molly! Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteThis is a simple card and very pretty.
ReplyDeleteVery cute card! Good luck with your freeze - I am on one too!!!!!! We can cheer each other on!
ReplyDeleteI need to do this and put myself on a spending freeze. I have been so bad recently! Love the way you used your scraps, I have a ton sitting around that I always say I will use, but I always reach for a new sheet of DP... usually buy a new sheet of DP!
ReplyDeleteFun papers and great layout on this wonderful birthday card, Molly!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card Molly. I do the same thing and now I have boxes of cards! We can't keep them all ... lol.
