Episode 199 ~ "Use It or Lose It" Boys Birthday card



Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!
I hope you are having a happy day & squeezing in some craft time for yourselves... I am crazy busy making birthday cards like the one on this post for today. Our son is heading to a sleep over Birthday party tonight, I am sure he'll be in a great mood in the morning when we pick hime up for church, ugh!
This card is for my "Use It or Lose It " Series ~ I am determined to use the products I have on hand & not purchase anything else for awhile. Adhesive doesn't count though & for the first time ever, I went into Michael's yesterday & only came out with tape refills!!! That's it! Believe it or not, all the "stuff" was making me kinda dizzy.
I really need to weed through my craftroom & re-organize my goodies... Have a groovy weekend!
Big Huggs,

  1. Love it. I really need to start using my stuff without purchasing anything else too. I am such a paper hoarder, that it's not even funny :)

  5. Great card Gale and I love that you are using up what you have. Way to go only getting tape. I am trying but it is so hard. I was thinking I don't have those three punches. Then I thought I could do those on my Gypsy. Thanks for saving me some money today. We got our taxes done and we have a big bill to pay. You go from getting refunds to owing a lot. I just don't understand.
    Thanks again,
    So happy to see you up and I hope feeling better.
