WHAT WAS I THINKING WHEN I BOUGHT THIS PAPER CHALLENGE???


I bought this paper back in OCT. I think it was or earlier. I had planned to use it for XMAS. And paid a dear fortune for it at the LSS! sigh! It is by DCWV called: ALL DRESSED UP --- Jade Sparkle Glitter. When I bought it I thought it was BEAUTIFUL! But when I'd pick it up to use it... My mind would draw a BLANK CANVAS! Well.... Christmas came and went.... I cleaned out my paper last Sunday and there was the paper still! When I saw Cora's challenge tonight I laughed and went right to the paper! I thought well, this is as good of a time as any to get rid of at least 1/4 of a sheet of it! LOL. I decided to pull out my MAGNOLIA image by All Night Media and play off the white and green of the paper and add a pretty white satin ribbon of white as well adding an American Crafts big brad in green too. SU thank you sentiment stamped right directly onto the ribbon! Bazzill black CS. Cora I'm glad I used it now! thanks.... Peggy
(a little update: a few days later..... my listing agent that sold us our house came by to take some photos inside our house as our house was entered into an upcoming contest in Baton Rouge. She wanted a sneek peek into my craft room and saw my cards inside. I told her I was leaving to drop some off at a shop I sell them in. She snatched up three of them for $20..... This being one of them! whoooopeeee! Guess the paper caught her eye too! LOL)

I love what you did with it here!!! I can't tell you how many papers I bought and still have waiting to be used.

I guess we all have those "What Was I Thinking" kind of PP's sitting around. You did put this paper to good use, though.
