So, we've all heard about "scraplifting" where you take someone else's scrapbook layout and change it around to make it your own... well I've recently become ADDICTED to Pinterest! (Check out my pinterest link on the left to follow me! I have several boards with THOUSANDS of pins! Lots of cards!!!!) In becoming addicted to pinterest, I have found TONS of cards that I love, love, love! Well I'm not one for stealing someone's work, but I do know it's ok to CASE (copy and slightly edit) a card as long as we give original creator credit.
Layouts for a card have always come naturally to me, but every now and then I see a layout that I REALLY like, and I think it's worth changing it up a bit. that's what I've done here with 2 cards!
there is a short (yes, very short) story behind the reason i made these 2 cards... I go to a state clinic for my mental health care. the clinic isn't always organized and the care isn't always the best. I will admit that I complain a LOT, because well, if I won't advocate for myself no one else will if I don't make the problems with the service know. I don't always treat the ladies at the front and back desk very well because I get extremely frustrated when things aren't done correctly or there are "hiccups" in the service there, and even though I don't think about it at the time, I always think about it later and end up feeling guilty. I've had attitude issues and freak outs on more than one occasion, and I know their jobs aren't easy, especially with all the changes that happen around there on a constant basis! So, I made the two gals cards, and I hope they like them! they need to know they are appreciated, and that all of their hard work and patience does not go unnoticed, and they need to know that it's always nice to have a smiling face there even if I'm not in the best of moods or I'm not exactly stable. sometimes, that smile can make all the difference in how the rest of my day plays out, when I walk out of there!
Here are the 2 cards I made... sneak peek, clickety click below to see the cards...
