The writer speaks of the common occurences in the life of anyone who scrapbooks regularly and finds that she (or he) has spent more on scrapbooking tools than on food for the family. There are musings about a hobby that creates a mess wherever you work at it, and as long as there are unscrapped photographs anywhere in the house, it never ends. And there are always new and wonderful products coming out that one HAS to have!
About Me
- Judy G.
- I was raised in South Florida back in the years when it was a peaceful and wonderfully safe place to live. We lived a mile from the beach and could ride our bikes over the intercoastal bridge right to the best beach around. All my years of growing up I was a competitive swimmer and belonged to AAU. I granduated from Florida State University with a BS degree in nursing. I am recently retired but I'm thinking of going back to work to support my hobbies.

MY CARD CHALLENGE
Since February is the time to send a lot of Valentine Cards, I decided to challenge myself to see how many cards I could make out of a 6 x 6 pack of 2-sided card stock. I chose a Doodlebug pack that was mostly Valentine themed and spent the majority of one day making simple A2 size cards for Valentine's Day, Birthdays, and general Hi themes. The following pictures are what I managed to make and the scraps that were left when I had finished. I started out using some card sketches, but when I got down to the end, I didn't have very large pieces, so I had to start improvising. In all, I ended up with 21 decent looking cards, which I have already started using. I left the insides blank, so I could stamp on them whatever the situation required. I love the look of the black matting, as it really sets the individual pieces up. Feel free to let me know what you think.
