Love can split the...



This is for the Crafty Secrets challenge over on SCS. I'm this week's hostess, we'd love to have you come play with us!! I used three Crafty Secrets products for this one. The Altered Art stamp set, Love and Romance Vintage Cuts, and Birds & Botanicals Images and Journal Notes. The paper is all VERY old PSX, which I got for free with an order from ATRS a year or two ago.

I've been cleaning out my stamp room. I gave a five inch high stack of DP to one of my students last week. (Don't worry, I don't play favorites, she's the only one I know of who scrapbooks!) I have a lot of stuff I bought before I realized that I didn't actually like ALL DP! I have definite opinions about it now, and I found myself using stuff I didn't really like just because it was bought and paid for. I've decided not to play with stuff I don't absolutely LOVE. Life is just too short. I mean what if the last card I ever make is with stuff I don't like? Of course I won't care because I'll be hanging out with my pal, Jesus, but still, why bother? I mean, say I give the card to you. You'll be standing there thinking, "Man, she's hanging out with Jesus, and all I have is this card made with inferior quality DP!" Not a great legacy.

Theology, organization and papercrafting, you can get it all here!

You always make me smile whether through your art or you witty use of the written word. I imagine you are just as witty when you speak. :-) This btw is absolutely stunning.

heeeeee heeeeee ... gawd, Woman, you do kill me sometimes ... at least THIS time I didn't spray my monitor, I got my hand clapped over my mouth just in time.

this card is awesome. the sparkle is like how love feels in those good moments when the message is 1 million percent true ...

I guess DP is what you'd use to make the card that shows/says what love feels like when you want to split your loved one's HEAD in two ... huh?
