Deck of Me Week Five...What Would Your Adult Self Tell Your 18-Year-Old Self?

Well....I could have used the rest of the entire deck for this one.....so again I tried to be a bit more brief and generalized.....because if you get these down....the rest falls into place!

Image Shack offers a new feature where you can turn your photos into GLITTERY images.......so this is what that looks like:

Deck of Me catch up!

okay......here are my first 3 cards in the year-long craft challenge DECK OF ME......I am not really satisfied with the end results.....but....this is a huge accomplishment for me that I have even STARTED a project like this and I actually USED some of my scrapbooking supplies. BUT I look at these and to me some look incomplete....so maybe I will add more things on later. I am working out of supplies packed away in boxes.....so I do not even easily have access to my things which really stifles my creativity!

here is my First Week.....GOALS (I was generalized here though I DO have very specific goals for myself elsewhere....just too many and too detailed to put on a playing card.

Today is Tuesday.......you know what that means?

Is a song they used to sing on the Mickey Mouse Club.....wow.....what does that say about me if I know that?




I signed up to do a CRAFT challenge. A DECK OF ME cards.....of course I am already starting behind......and have 3 weeks now to catch up on. Basically what you do is get a deck of cards.....which has 52 in them.

ONCE a week you will craft a journal/scrapbooking new fronts or backs or both to each card.....based on prompts/topics you will receive once a week. I thought this sounded like a great idea and in fact.....I think this would be a great idea for many other projects...and a great way to break into mixed media journaling..something I have had my eye on for a long time now but have failed to even try. You can use ANY kind of deck of cards and I have seen some great ones being started by others out there....like my sister who found these cool heart-shaped cards at Target for 1.00! Crap I hope I can find something interesting like that. They also have GIANT sized cards. So use your imagination.

So.....if you are interested you can go here to find out more:
