How long will this go on?

I don't remember when it started.  I don't remember how or why either.  All I know is that at some point, paper crafts became an addiction.  I've never been a fan of buying Hallmark cards, though I have received many lovely store-bought cards over the years.  There must have been some point in my life that I decided that every card I gave had to be home-made.  Next thing I know, I have a rolling cart filled with stamps, expensive papers, glitter, brushes, heat embossing powders, a heat gun, a paper cutter, and punches.  I have spent hundreds of dollars and I've just scratched the surface when it comes to buying paper crafting supplies.  I have spent hours on end trying designs and hating them before I come up with a card worthy of sending.  Then I pass by the card aisle and see boxes of cards, cute cards, for a fraction of the cost (and let's not even talk about time) that I have spent.  So, the question is, what's the punchline?  The joke must be on me right?  Here is my answer.  Yes, the joke is definitely on me, but I love it!  And, like any good addiction, I can't seem to stop.


Most of the time, I get my inspiration from looking at other people's work.  I see creative ideas and come up with my own design.  I've done a lot of browsing on the internet and decided it was time to return the favor.  I hope some of these ideas with give you something to run with.


Cheers!
