I can't remember the last time I used my X-acto knife to cut out parts of patterned paper. I love the look it gives my cards and this Lizzie Dot Paisley PP by Making Memories just cried out for it. Aren't those colors yummy? I stamped the card face with SU Linen and the sentiment is from the Butterfly Kisses set from Papertrey ink. I'm really happy with how it turned out.That brings me to a question for you all. Do you have a hard time giving your cards away? I'll admit it. I get very attached to each card. It's almost like they are my children. I mean I did give birth to them, right? (Gotta say it usually is far less uncomfortable than real labor!) Do you eventually get over that attachment you form? I tell myself that they will bring joy to the receiver and can finally manage to slide it into the envelope and send it on its way. Please tell me that I am not the only one who suffers from this affliction.
Have a terrific Thursday everyone.

that looks like it really took some time! GReat card! just lovely
I like this one a lot, even if it is paisley...
Me again, I'm looking at your cards & this one just POPPED right off the screen at me. It's so pretty. I should try my hand at using my X-acto knife on patterned paper. Very cool effect. Oh I do share your feelings about not wanting to part with my cards. One thing I've done though is to scan or photograph them and then I atleast have a record of what I've done. Ida
