The Kraft Journal is right. It is time to get out the thank you cards. And I am completely out so have been working on that the last few day.
I hope no one "deconstructs" some of my cards. They might be surprised with the "oops" behind the design. On this one, I tried stamping the sentiment onto the Kraft cardstock with VersaMark and gold embossing. Didn't like the look of that--not enough contrast. But I couldn't waste a perfectly good card base. So I covered it with a strip of DSP from SU bordered by 2 purple shimmery strips to pick up the purple in the polka dots. I stamped a SU sentiment in black on a gold vellum banner and accented it with a gold/purple bow.

I do exactly the same, Donna. Waste not, want not, or so they say. I sometimes even use parts of the purchased cards that are sent to me - especially the purchased Christmas cards. They often include some lovely gold cardstock areas or other parts that are glittery. Your card today looks great!
