Fast Card Friday

Along with bringing back the blog, I'm bringing back my old Fast Card Friday routine.  This card was also a part of the ribbon clearing I started this week as you can probably tell.  You also probably realize it is a part of my never-ending button purging.

I have come to realize that I have more buttons than I will ever know what to do with and so those will likely be next on the chopping block in my quest to purge a large portion of my stash.  They take up so much room in my craft area and I feel like I force myself to use them more than I genuinely desire to use them.  We'll see how it goes as parting can be such sweet sorrow.

I'm finally feeling it again...

It's been a long time since I've done anything with this blog, but that's because it's been a long time since I've felt like crafting.  I don't entirely know what it was, but I just wasn't feeling up to it.  I'm finally feeling the bug again, though, so I'm back for now!

This page was one that was made after I decided to clean out my ribbon stash.  I have a lot of ribbons that I just haven't touched in a very long time and that I know I should probably just clear out, but it's so hard to part with pieces that I think could still be useful.

I enjoy how it came out and I'm glad I was able to use up pieces that I'd long forgotten about.  I'm looking to do more projects like this, because on my break I realized the sheer volume of crafting supplies I've accumulated over the years and decided that I think I could half them and still have more than enough.  We'll see if I can ever bear to just part with things without a "proper send off" of creating with them one last time.
