Two cards from one…making something work on short notice!

Last week we all took turns being sick with fever and stomach bug virus…it was not fun… And with all this came the stark realization that I hadn’t made my inlaws an anniversary card! Well, you know, here’s a tip – look around and get creative if you need a card quick!!! For this card, I had already made it up for one of the challenges over at Scrapbook Heaven, and done it as a thank you card…but then when I realized I needed an anniversary card, I simply took my heat tool and heated up the sentiment layer and removed it, then I stamped a new one and placed it right where the last sentiment layer had been! 🙂 Talk about a fast fix! Another reason I love working wiht 3-D Foam Squares as an adhesive! LOL

Here’s the first version: I called it Monochromatic Thanks

Then here’s today’s version: Monochromatic Redeux

So, here’s my best advice for today – when you don’t have energy and something needs to be done PRONTO – take a look around and see if you can use something else to improvise with! 🙂  I hope you liked BOTH cards! Enjoy!
