.....but it brings up another issue. what about the cardstock I cut into but then change my mind? what about the stuff I try and end up throwing away because I messed it up? I honestly think I should count it. after all we need to give ourselves the opportunity to experiment and possibly fail, right?!?!? so for now that is what I am going to do!

Misty's Housewarming card.....

the party is this afternoon but I highly doubt Misty will be checking out my blog in the next 5 hours! lol!! this card uses no new cardstock. that means I didn't start a new sheet, right?? seems like a lot of cardstock but I guess it is kinda cool to know I used a bunch of scraps!

okay, so another rule.....I am SOOOO not tracking adhesive!! I know I buy too much but so what! we all NEED adhesive. period. end of statement. AND.....since even I am not so anal to count each individual type of embellishment, I am making a catch all for things like that hat pin. afterall......I have had those 6 or more months it isn't like I am going to go on a crazy hat pin tear, right?!?!?
