52Q: 18

i am still very much digging emily falconbridge's 52Q project. i don't always get to make my card during the week each question debuts, but i enjoy thinking about whatever the current one is, and planning what i will do when i have the time. the week before last was a goodie! i learned from paper adventure last year how cool it is to "freeze" a little moment of everyday life now and again, as a reminder of what you were doing right then.

i started out with my genuine, used, crumpled, green-postie-note "to-do" list from a random day that week, but sadly it met with a little accident when i thought i could adhere paper to both sides of the playing card and only cut out once. (HA!) i probably should have photo-ed the result, because it was kind of hilarious! you know that i rarely take a "do over" on personal projects, but this one really was just a bit too helen-keller-meets-edward-scissorhands for my taste, so i decided to start again, from the beginning!

question 18 - what's on your to-do list this week?

(many papers all in teeeeeeeny scraps...clockwise from top left: origami, dcwv, bg, mme, bg, christina cole, scrapbook wizrd, sei, bgX2, creative imaginations; letter stickers from an office supply shop, "liberated" from work

and yes, it's easy to make a perfect starburst if you just measure and mark around the perimeter...but for some reason...i just tend to eyeball and cut wedges! old dawg...new tricks...so forth & so on...

  1. So pretty! And you can't convince me YOURS is not a perfect star burst; before I scrolled down to read that portion of the post I was admiring how well you manage to cut and adhere triangular pieces and not leave gaps!!!

  3. Love the ATC for making a list... the colors are fantastic and love the large black letters on top. Had a lot of punch to it.

  5. This is awesome! I am woefully behind in this project, but I have good intentions to get caught up next week once the craft room is finished. There are so many great questions I can't wait to get back into it. You continue to be an inspiration to me :)

  6. Gosh, I just burst out laughing when I read your "helen-keller-meets-edward-scissorhands" remark - unfortunately I just finished my card #8 (yes, I'm trying to catch up with all the questions...) and glued this picture to it.
