precursor to 2s4u cards...

today's word of the day in Miss Larsen's 8th grade English class (mine) was...

"precursor"

a noun meaning: something or someone that comes earlier/ before.

i helped the kids understand the word by drawing pictures and timelines and discussing which came first--the candle, or lightbulbs? so therefore we discussed "which one is the precursor?"

so i present to you: my precursor post to the 2s4u challenge. i pretty much made these cards last night or the previous days... i bought a BUNCH of scrapbook stuff so i wanted to get going right away. most of them are the same general idea--punch, layer, stamp, stick, attach, etc...

you can't tell, but this card has a vellum bottom, and on the inside you can see a green, blue, and brown plaid pattern. the way i took the photo didn't really show that off...
i was using up tons of scraps... somehow they all worked out. most of the ribbon in these cards comes from wrappings from Christmas presents. i heard the constant reminder from family... "SAVE THE RIBBON FOR GINNY!" teehee :)
and now here's a close-up of the above card...
not my favorite card ever, but eh...

joey liked these last two the best out of this batch:
he said, "i like simple. sometimes simple is better..."

hope you enjoy, and TFL!
