Number 7: Take one

Big ups to my mother who bought the book for me.  And big ups to Keri Smith, who created the book and gave me some fun things to do with my time.

Thing number one. Cut the page out, affix it to some cardboard, and mail to a friend.  I'm out of double-sided tape, so I used embroidery floss. *swoon*

Number 27

Made it to the reflexology path at Bastyr today.  Needed a bit of fresh air and some healing energy. Tucked in the back of the extensive medicinal herb garden, the reflexology path is a wonder to behold.

It's a little ouchy at first, but the signs promise that as you move toward wellness the path will be less uncomfortable.  (Sounds pretty right on metaphorically, doesn't it?)

Composite Construction Cards

because I like alliteration. And I also like using double-sided tape.  

And sometimes, when you're making a Father's Day card, you need a sailboat for your father and some great waves for the inside.

And when you're making a card for your three-year-old nephew who loves construction equipment (and trucks, and cars, and planes), you need a digger.

And because I'm here to put in a plug for envelope templates. They're the best.  Just trace, cut, and glue.  Reuse old wrapping paper. Use new wrapping paper. Adorable. Every time.

Also. I think that these count as collages (number 8). The best kind of collages: the kind you give away. :)
