also, thank you so much everyone for your well wishes with my move... it went *mostly* well. suffice it to say, it's a long story and it involves wet carpets, semi-rude landlords, and having TONS of friends help me out! (THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE!)
well, as a single person moving into a 2 bedroom apartment, i got SOOOO many comments about the amount of stuff that i own--whether it was in regards to my clothes (eek!) or my crafting supplies, or all the free furniture that i got from friends. anyway, i think that all 14 of the people who helped me move think that i need to 'rethink my life' (as my brother Peter put it). but hey, what can i say? i'm a crafter!
i know you all understand (hehe, at least a little.) i got some unpacking help after the move, and as i was explaining how the tank tops were to go in the drawers, somebody mentioned that they thought i was a tad OCD about the color coding and folding... but i honestly think that the color coding is SMART, and it comes from my crafting habits :D what about you? do you categorize your clothes similarly to your crafting supplies?
okay, on to my card... it's based off of Kazan's sketch #46 at 2Sketches4You (love these designers and EVERYTHING!) i flipped this sketch again, and actually made my 1st SHAPED card! :)
i made this using a whole bunch of different supplies... not everything is unpacked (and may not get much attention anytime soon), so there's a smattering of all types of things on here. Sassafras, some rub ons, SEI, K&Co, Fiskars border punch, and buttons and poms :D
i LOVE how there's an eclectic mix of just about everything on this card... stickers, bling, etc. i thought that Kazan's sketch was just perfect for a shaped card too.
the above is a picture of the inside of the card, i can put a message around it.then, here's the whole card at a glance... see that 'turn that frown upside down' rub on? i almost forgot the 'turn' part of the rub on >> that would have been interesting :D
thanks for stopping by, i LOVE reading your comments :)

What a fun card, Ginny!!! Love all of the colors and details!!
I was thinking about you and your request for advice now that you're living in your own apartment. One tip that I can share is to USE COUPONS when shopping---especially for things like toothpaste, soap, laundry detergent, toilet paper, napkins, cleaning supplies, etc. You can clip coupons from the Sunday newspaper, or you can get them online by visiting coupons.com or the manufacturers' websites. Also, sign up for your grocery store's club card---it's free and it just ensures that you pay lower prices for items at the grocery----otherwise you're overpaying for just about everything. Hope this is helpful!
You ARE crazy. This card proves it. *le sigh* I still love you!
