Me and my great ideas

That title is meant to be read with great sarcasm in my voice. :) When we went to Disney World last week, an aquaintance (a former co-worker of Kevin's sister) who works at Disney got us in for free (without us asking by the way). We were talking about it and Kevin said, "We need to make sure that we write her a really nice thank-you card!" I said, "Well, I just got all of that Disney scrapbooking stuff so maybe I should make a Disney card". Never mind I've never made a card. Rachel got me into scrapbooking about a year and a half ago (though sometimes I feel like an 8 year old who likes to cut and glue things because that's what my pages look like). And never mind the card was for someone I don't even really know so she can't be like, "Bless her heart, Becky tries and it was a cute idea but she just never has had an ounce of creativity!" and then just overlook it. So... here I am with this great idea but no creativity or experience to go along with it. I bought a pack of 8 blank cards at Wal-mart for just under $2 so I thought, "Well, at least I can mess up seven times before it has to look decent". It didn't take me long at all to mess up the first card, which came as no surprise. The second card looked okay except for this patch of ink (where it was not meant to be) which I tried to cover over with a white paint pen which made it look like, "Hey, I messed up but I colored over it with a white pen so now it's faded ink and white marker that doesn't blend in with the card!" (also to be read in a sarcastic tone). I already had my stickers and stuff on it and I didn't want to have to peel them off again and try to get them to re-stick on a different card. So I did the classic "glue something over it" which actually fixed it enough to be acceptable (to me). The results of my creative efforts are shown below. But if any of you ever hear me talking about making a card again, just kindly hand me 3 bucks and suggest that it might be easier if I just run to the store this time! :)
