Then I had one of those lucky accidents. I use Elfa mesh drawers for storage. All of my stamps are unmounted in CD cases and they fit perfectly. 6x6 paper pads fit perfectly. During the night, the heavy top drawer bent and dropped and then the whole thing pancaked.
After some frustration and perhaps some choice words - enough so that I didn't take a picture of the avalanche - I just spent the last two hours re-organizing. Not a bad thing. I got rid of a few things. Then I took the time to put the things that I used the most in the easiest drawers to get to - I think I am going to like it. Everybody should experience an avalanche!?
The really, really lucky thing was that when my Papertrey sets had spread all over the floor - the top set was one I had totally forgotten about - Bitty Background Basics. The light bulb went on - brightly - I set it aside and after I had finished picking everything up - these cards were born in about 5 minutes. (In fairness, the bunnies and leaves and grass were already cut and the sentiment had been selected!!)
- Stamps: Verve Egg-stra Special (sentiment), Papertrey Ink Bitty Background Basics

ReplyDeleteThese are great cards! I know how you feel though, I hate when I have no mojo, but you did the perfect thing-organizing.
ReplyDeleteKim both of your cards are so sweet! Those bunnies are funtastic. Thank you so much for sharing with us this week at CASology!
ReplyDeleteYour bunnies have ended up on very stylish pretty cards. Perhaps they wrecked your drawers in the middle of the night??!! x
ReplyDeleteThese are sweet! I love the dies and I LOVE the little blingy eggs! Thanks so much for playing along with us at CASology this week!
ReplyDeleteI think your mojo is back in a BIG way. These are both so sweet! So glad you joined in on the fun at CASology this week!
ReplyDeleteGotta love those happy accidents! Your cards are the sweetest things--awesome bunnies. The backgrounds are just the ticket for both cards, and the aqua/pink bases are Perfect!! Love, love, and love these. Bev
ReplyDeleteI looove your Easter bunny cards, I just bought these bunnies too, have to get them opened and starting creating :) TFS :) :)
ReplyDeleteBoth are so super cute!! Lee-Ann :)
ReplyDeleteThe end result is beautiful! So sorry it took an avalanche to get there! I have a couple of not so pretty avalanches in regards to my paper shelves....of which the contractor promised would hold any amount I could put on them...........I don't think he totally understood just how much paper I had! It has forced me to rethink my obsession with pattern paper and has started me on the path of buying 6x6 pads!
ReplyDeleteMmm, dare I say every cloud has a silver lining 'cause these are most definitely worth having the avalanche for. Fabulous backgrounds and brilliant bunnies ... love them! Anita :)
