Lots of paper

It's hard to believe but I ordered four new 6x6 paper pads! I have enough paper to cover the USA coast to coast north to south and east to west, but I liked it. It was not an impulse buy, I put it in my cart and waited several days thinking about it. So brace yourself, there will be a lot of pattern paper cards in my future. It helps me get started again and that is a bonus.

This card is made by alternating paper and dies and adding a sentiment.  Very easy but a different look for me to make. I've tried several different ways of making my cards and will get them posted as I finish them. I'm not sure I'll put sentiments on them until I know where they will go. I will add this card to 


It's a shame nothing is built in the USA anymore. I just bought a TV and it says "built in antenna". I don't even know where that is. 




Be kind to one another.

Lovely patterned paper, Brenda, and great layering with the dies. I'll look forward to seeing how you use your new stash of paper - hoping for some ideas to use up my old stash!! I really restrain myself from buying more!

Whatever lights your fire is a good thing in the card-making world, Brenda! Wait. What? Maybe I shouldn't be using the word fire around all that paper! I can see why you still wanted this paper pad even after sleeping on it and I love the double framing and sediment!

I'm thinking I'm going to make more cards without sediments, too, especially since designs can be used for so many occasions and there is no reason not to wait until a card is needed. Thank you for using this week's I.D.E.A.S. Calendar and linking in the gallery to motivate others!📌Hugs, Darnell (Great joke BTW, I saw it before, but it was in a thought bubble over taco's head!)

Pretty DP Brenda, I can't wait to see what else you make with it ♥ Sometimes you just have to buy what you love :)

Ooh, I like that paper, Brenda! And the frames are so elegant! Should we plan a trip to antenna and see what it's all about?

You find awesome PP and use them so well. Here’s more proof of that with this wonderful card! Great die, too.

Love the paper. Looking forward to seeing your cards with patterned paper. I have lots of paper but just don't use it enough. I think my husband thinks that I've lost my mind because I busted out laughing about the built in Antenna. Sooo funny! Thanks for the laugh.
