Use those SCRAPS!

This week I do not have my normal 4 days off in a row at work, I have to work tonight and that always breaks up my creative time too.  So rather than start scrapbook pages and have to leave in the middle of an artistic brain storm I decided to make cards today.  But what cards to make? 

One of the reasons I love being a CTMH consultant is that I have access to the CTMH consultant website! What a wealth of information and ideas there are!  So after checking out some of the ideas I settled on one of the workshop cards. 

Here is the original:

I loved how simple it is but was not sure if I have the supplies.  Sure enough I had just a little of my Roxie paper left (from the Fall 2011 Idea Book).  But I need “Thank You” Cards… here is what I came up with using the above pattern for inspiration.
