Playing with Paper and Words

I've been playing with paper lately.

As regular readers know, I purchased some pretties a while back and thought it was time to try making some cards. 

It's fun! 

(I'm thinking about finding these 4 and 6 others a good home later this week.)


I also played with creating a word mosaic. 
It just feels good to try something new every now and again!

Thanks to Mary for hosting  "Mosaic Monday". Pop over and pay her a visit!

I adore your comments and promise to get back to you!

    Your cards are so bright and cheery - just the thing for February. Did you make the word mosaic in Wordle? That's such a fun thing to do.

    Hey, you're really good! I took pics for Sunlit Sunday today. Then my ex sent me an ugly email (yeah, on my b-day) and I was so bummed for awhile, I didn't get around to posting them. I'll keep them for next week if nothing earth-shattering (worse than this week anyway) happens to make me forget.

    Isn't it fun to just get out the scissors and glue and just play now and then? Makes you feel like a kid. Just remember, don't eat the glue! lol!
    Hugs,

    I love your paper mosaic. I dreamed last night of a store called "Paper Play." I made a word mosaic for main blog (meriak.blogspot.com) within the last few days. Great minds think alike!
