âI Might Use That One Dayâ is my motto. I say it all the time as Iâm squirreling away shiny things. For example, these envelopes that Discover keeps sending me credit card offers in. How could I throw out this fabulously sparkly paper? I also dug through my drawer of loose images and found this wine-drinking Tote-ally Tess that I obviously saved because I might use it one day. So I colored her and cut her out with my ScanNCut. I cut strips of envelopes and striped them on the black, but I had some of the white text on the envelope showing on the left side. Ribbon the rescue. Plus, then I could add in this little wine glass charm that my mom gave me when she cleaned out our friend, Bettyâs craft room. She knew I might use it one day.

This is so fun Jenn and I love the story of your 'squirreled-away' items. I never would have know your paper was from envelope from a credit card offer! Those offers are good for something sometimes! LOL.

Those are from credit card offers? WOWZA...I think I have the wrong credit cards. This turned out so cute...I adore the wine glasses charm. And your Tess with the wine glass reminds me that maybe I should crack open a bottle tonight....I need to after surviving this week's Polar Vortex!
