Happy Day! Happy Day! I finally put together a card I was satisfied with last night. I LOVE this marbled paper from Paper Mojo. They call it: Crepaldi Marbled Paper-Blue Waved Git-Gel. It is part of a bunch of 5x8 inch samples I bought from them a few weeks ago. It's really more impressive in real life. Had to drag out my PB Sun Fire die because it's been making grumbling noises again. It seems to have a strong need to be brought out and used. It has to realize that I don't plan to use it for EVERY card I make. But it seemed to make a good point on this gorgeous paper. I hate to even put anything on these beautiful papers. I love the full in your face effect they have...on me anyway. I tried my focus piece on a variety of colored backgrounds and found this blue seemed to suit it the best. I am becoming aware that I have a paper obsession. I'm not going to fight it. I may have to join POA (Paper Obsession Anonymous) somewhere down the line. But at this moment in time I can handle it. May have to sell a few pieces of furniture to satisfy my paper cravings. (I know the first piece to go is going to be our recliner that I have to keep stuffing polyester fiberfill in to keep it's pillowy headrest pillowy. Hate wrestling with that stuff always getting stuck in the zipper.) But you have to sacrifice for your priorities! Right?

I looked at that paper, too. There's no bout adoubt it ... it's is striking. You did it justice when you added that PB die. Paper Mojo responded and the answer was a resounding NO. Dang. I like your idea of requesting the sample sizes. I just might have to bite the bullet. So you think might have a paper addiction? Yeah, that's probably true. Hope you and Ernie are doing well.

Miss Ellen I urge you not to join POA because you will then be forced to sell all of your furniture in order to purchase the 19 million mediums on the market to make your own backgrounds!! Everything about this is wonderful my friend, and it looks very happy sitting in my Favs folder and Pinterest board!!
