I feel guilty.
Posted by Michelle on January 24th, 2009 . Filed under: Uncategorized .Hard to believe, me, GUILTY. Indeed. So Laura is on a spending freeze for stamping/card-making stuff because she went through her stuff and realized she had too much and it would be treasonous to buy more. Julee made a solemn vow to not buy any more paper because she has an overabundance as well. Michelle Wooderson says just buy one piece of DP so as to not be a hoarder. And then there’s me. I have told my husband at least 50 times in the last month “I now have everything I need”; and then I come home with a $100 bag from Archiver’s, a $30 bag from Michael’s; just the day before yesterday I ordered $43 worth from A Cherry On Top (it’s all Laura’s fault for sending me there to get that sweet apple DP!) and I ordered $19.49 worth of stuff from Star Lit Studio because Michelle recommended it! And then yesterday I see Taylor’s ads for her buy 2, get 1 free Twinkles, so I get those and something else for another $24! It doesn’t help that I have just started again on the path to super modelness (have you checked the side bar? that’s right – 19 pounds, baby!) so I keep myself busy so as not to e-a-t. I doubt that I’m going to change my reckless ways any time soon, but here’s what I’m going to do: today I am going to make cards ONLY from scraps (with the exception of cardstock and embellishments, of course). So tomorrow you’ll probably see some things that you have seen before, and/or you’ll see some things that look like they came out of my….because I paired some turquoise glitter paper with some rainbow stars paper with a poop colored doily-punched border, but know that it’s for a good cause!
I made this card for Amber’s Viva la Verve challenge. I turned it sideways and I have to say – I am totally diggin’ this card. Oh look – more of those cut out Verve flowers! And yes – I will be having black in all my cards until I finish the entire pack of 50 sheets! Hey – who doesn’t love black? – it’s slenderizing!
And this badboy here – that’s all me, sistahs! I had an idea, it didn’t work out, so I just kept moving along until I ended up with this. Not sure how I feel about it, but again, being it’s all me makes me feel kinda warm and fuzzy inside and like it by default.
y’all have a great Saturday!

It really is a sickness, or maybe you’re just in the honeymoon phase of crafting. Either way, you’re having a good time. Hopefully, the crafting budget is pretty big!
