Off kilter, but on purpose

   No, not me, although I feel off kilter with David being gone so long. He comes home from Africa tomorrow. Yippee! I am debating on whether I should hitch a ride in the church van, make the 2 hour trip to Boston, and meet him at the airport or just meet him at the church with everyone else. My dilemma is Alathea. She is flying in to Boston and then flying directly from there to Ohio which means she won't be making the road trip home. If I was sure I would get to see her, no problem, I would hitch a ride. But she probably won't come through security and will just go directly to her connecting flight. Sigh. 

   Well anyway here is a card I made. No challenges today! lol! I got the idea to make the Newsprint designer paper "off kilter" when I saw an advertisement somewhere and the notepaper was set at an angle. Just like this!
    I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig and to stamp the large frame image from Notably Ornate directly on the cardstock to "frame" the notepaper. I needed it to be placed precisely around the the notepaper. I also use it (the SAMJ) to stamp the word "heartfelt" and "thanks". I find myself using that handy little tool more and more. Anyway I really like this card alot! It is unique.
