I'm not obsessive. I'm not obsessive. I'm not obsessive....

Nope. Nu-uh. Never.


















So, like, you know, last night I couldn't sleep because SOMEONE commented on this card and said, like, wow, you could so TOTALLY use different colors and get, you know, TOTALLY different looks. Her comment planted a seed in my brain that, you know, TOTALLY grew into a clinging vine of obsession insomnia until I had made, like, 6 cards and sorted scraps for two more and could finally, like, you know, go to SLEEP!

You know, I TOTALLY had three mochas for breakfast to bring out my inner Valley Girl. I'm like TOTALLY not going to sleep tonight either.

And no, I am not obsessed. Shame on you for even, you know, THINKING it.

Pat (mspfd) said...

Pure genius! What other shapes to you think you could use?

Sharon D said...

You're so funny! I love these cards! Amazing how the different colors give a different mood/look. I could also see these turned 45 degrees--i.e., an overall diamond shape rather than a square shape.

Thanks for the laughs AND the inspiration!

Sharon D said...

I forgot to say that these cards are also fab because they use up little scraps, which I can't bear to waste but which have a tendency to pile up.

twinkletoe said...

Love these cards - all of them!!

Donelda said...

Susan, you are so funny!! I laughed so hard when I read your title and started to scroll down. you are great!! Have fun creating :-)

Susan (peebsmama) said...

I think Rose Ann had a great idea because this DOES look TOTALLY cool in all these great combinations. The placement of the shapes is so perfect. You must be a "ruler" girl like me.
