I made this card last week after making my students' desk nameplates. I had a lot of leftover scraps, so it seemed like the perfect time use them. Then I showed the card to dh...and thus began the debate on whether or not to post this card at all. This is how the conversation went:
me: "How do you like this card?"
DH: (silence, staring, more silence)
me: "It's made from a lot of leftover parts. I was trying to make it not so matchy, but fun and different, you know, unexpected."
DH: "Oh, it's unexpected alright."
Hmmm, maybe that's how Dr. Frankenstein felt from the responses he got when he started messing around with leftover parts. Actually, it cracked me up and I laughed and laughed and laughed. (Side note: for you single people out there, I highly recommend you find that person who makes you laugh...I'm not sure how else you could manage to spend over two decades with a person!)
Hope you had a great Wednesday! We're on the downhill slide now, uh-huh, uh-huh, awww, yea! Thanks for stopping by!

ha ha that conversation cracks me up! I totally agree with you about finding someone who makes you laugh...my DH does that & more because there were so many times I thought I would get bored with the same person for so long! your card is cool...
love the card and all the "pieces"!! Your dh sounds like my dh when I show him a card he doesn't get!! We get it though!...so that's what matters! LOL!! :)
I am gonna work on a card and I'll be back!
Ha! Husbands are great for honest feedback, huh? I saw the challenge on splitcoast today was to use chipboard so I dug mine up and saw that it had never even been opened!! UGH! So, I guess I definitely dug something up and used it today :-)
Love the card. Very "outside the box". Loved your conversation with your hubby. Cute and funny.
One day I was watching Oprah when the subject was "Why did you get married?" So when Jeff got home for the evening, I asked him that question and he said "Because you made me!" haaaaaa I also laughed and laughed and laughed. And it's kind of true. He would have spun his wheels forEVER if I hadn't made him!
Hubby doesn't know what he's talking about. I love this card!!
Hilarious!! My dh is the same!!Super cute though, no matter what he says!
