How to justify spending.... :P


Been trying to spend less recently because I wanted to make a big purchase at the craft shop I frequent. You'll never believe how much I had spent there... sigh. Well, at least I didn't 'invest' those money in things like cigarettes or booze, right? Those are a waste of resources, but hobbies like crafting, photography, reading are all good :P


haha....

Well, at least crafting, photography and reading won't kill you in the long run :D Provided I still find time to exercise. I've been so lazy recently. No more jogging. Just more card-making... aiks...

Anyhow, I just completed a card that I hope fulfills 2 challenges! :)

Day 109 on 365 Cards say to use these colours : green, yellow, orange,
brown, and aqua ... and make it a feminine card!

Over at Paper Popsicles, they provided a sketch for Card Challenge #3.

I just wanted to try to fuse them together and see if I can do it under
an hour.


And I guess I did :)

(I'm a slow card-maker.....)


Here's my card :



Code : HB0020
Price : RM 14.90

Super cute! I LOVE the heart!!
Like you said, least buying into craft isn't going to kill you... unless you are speeding to Archivers to be the first 50 ppl in the door or fighting at Jo-Ann's on black Thursday for the big machine that's on sale for 60% off... Ha ha ha... ok, just kidding :P But I'm with you. I don't smoke and a very light drinker and so it's ok to buy a bit of crafty goodness here and there :)
