Quilt Square Birthday Card

I haven't had a whole lot of time or motivation to make cards the past few months, but I have been amassing goodies along the way. Like, a lot of them. I have a couple MFT boxes filled. Yikes. And they just recently had another retirement sale...so...yeah. There's more coming. Ha!

I needed a birthday card for my mother-in-law, so I thought I would dig through my new treasures and use some items. I was tickled to snag this quilt square die during another retirement sale and decided to use patterned paper that reminded me of a lovely, "traditional" quilt. I've always admired the mad skillz that quilting requires and have always wanted to learn, but I suck at sewing. And measuring. And cutting fabric. So, I'll just stick to paper, in this instance.

In other news, I am finally pain-free enough to venture out and I got to visit Hobby Lobby last night. Woot! Ours has been open for about a year and a half now, but my mobility was so crippled, I couldn't walk far distances. I kicked sugar last October and started eating a low-carb diet -- I'm unsure if I've actually lost any weight, but I do know that it has definitely helped relieve the pain in my hips and lower back enough to be able to walk and stand for longer stints. It gives me some hope. Anywho, one of the items I bought there was this lovely patterned paper. I was so stoked and can't wait to go back to waste more money! 😆
