The goal was to make a quick and easy card.
Easy meant choosing from the list of weekly prompts, I chose Dictionary.
Then I looked through my stash of dusty patterned paper for something that kind of looked like I could have made it myself, a short-cut if you will. Easy-peasy.
But, this short-cut wasn't very quick, it ended up taking a bit longer than I thought it would. Unlike paint, glue takes awhile dry. I always seem to forget that. Of course, working on it in between dinner and such didn't help, as that kind of stretches out the time a bit.
Things I learned while making this card:
- It takes time for glue to dry.
- Stamp pads will dry out and do not last forever....or even 15-years apparently.

I went to use an ink pad the other day and it was dry!
Although it wasn't that old, so I am not sure why!
Oh I love it. Just may need to steal that for a journal page :)
