Cards, Cards and MORE Cards!!

I asked Deb to come over today to visit, then had the bright idea that we could sit and be creative while gabbing. Since I started using Stampin' Up cardstock for cards I decided that the "crappy cardstock" that I have could be used for cards. (It's not bad stuff, just not the high quality of SU) I also have tons of scrap patterned paper. We weren't too creative until after Deb had lunch. That was all it took for her to kick us into gear. Sadly we didn't get but a few done before she had to go. I had drug all my 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock, scraps, embellishments, ribbon, fiber, some stamps and ink, punches, scissors, then of course all the necessary tools we needed into our dining room. Good thing we have a huge table!! After Deb left I didn't clean up. Instead I made a few more cards, made dinner and ate with the boys, took the rabbit outside to exercise then came back in. I finished about 30 minutes ago and I have to say that I made 40, yes 40 cards!!! My rear is numb from sitting on a hard chair, and my ankles swollen as we have a countertop hight table and the chairs are nearly barstool hight! I will be making more cards on another day as Deb and I didn't even begin to touch my stockpile of cardstock, and scraps of paper!! or embellishments! LOL (hanging head, I am SUCH a FLOOZY/FLASS!!) Perhaps I should be ashamed........Nah! I will be making these cards to give away in groups.

I haven't even begun to make a dent in mine! I can't imagine I will ever use it all or even make a very big dent....must come up with a way to use my scraps as I get them......maybe make cards at the time that I'm making SB pages.....

I wish Cathy! I don't think I will ever use it up! But I am working on them again. I've been making more cards today and am only taking a break, I'll have to count up the final number this evening after I put away my toys.....

Wow Kenda, how much have you made in total now? Good for you, using up all those scraps. My pile just keeps getting higher and higher and I will never have the heart to through them away. I must really try and do the same :)

Yes, that's a great idea! Then you'll always have a handmade card at hand when you need them. I feel guilty these days to give a store bought card! LOL
