You Are My Anchor Card with Graphic 45

  It is hard to believe that it is March!!!
BUT....
That doesn't stop the hoarder in us does it...
I mean seriously a true hoarder am I...
SO...IF
you are were just at Debbie's Blog then you are heading in the right direction!!!!
 THAT....
When I was going through paper and other piles of items in my studio...
I came across this small mini album that I began using envelops!!!
I began the mini when Graphic 45 By the Sea Collection 
first was available in our area. So you can see it has been laying around for months and months.
 I looked at it for a few minutes debating on weather I should finish it...
OR...
 Just tear it apart and do something different...
LOL...
Well I tore it apart and used the cover for my card front. 
The embossed piece I salvaged for the inside of my card.
 I had to distress the edges of the front of the mini using the distress tool because of tearing it apart.
Add a bit of ink so it would look a bit fresher and placed it on a card base.
 I had wrapped one of the tags from the collection with brown twine and tied a bow. 
Added a few of the stamps to the front.
 Along with some real seashells.
 And lots of layers.
 Ink the emboss piece that was salvaged from the mini.
Place it on top of pattern paper. 
Add a border and journal piece from the collection.
You Are My Anchor reminds me of so many things...
From the strength I get from my faith to the love of my family and friends. 
I hope I have encouraged you into looking into your hoards of half finished projects.

  8. I always love your work, Pam, and you certainly made this into a beautiful card. Wonder what you will make with the bits you tore apart. I'm sure it will be just as awesome.

  9. Oh, I just love that Graphic 45 collection and I've taken apart old projects to make new ones as well. Better to do that than to never finish, and your card is fabulous!
