In the picture below you will have one of the bottom strip from each paper as well. Cut at 1.5 inches and you will have the top piece and another piece that I forgot to take a picture of before I glued it to the card. Oops! </div>

Once you have them all cut up like this, use the large piece of pattern paper and line them up side by side. You will be able to make two of these cards below. (See last post for recipe) </div>

I sketched it using the Silhouette Cameo on white cardstock, then I pulled out my crayons and started coloring. Also, I used some Tim Holtz Broken China distress ink on the background. It was so much fun. Hope you enjoy!<br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a project that I have been wanting to do for a very long time now. I was going to paint it directly on the wall but came across a free cork-board and thought that would be better. This way if I ever move I can take it with me! (For those who don't know I just moved into my first house.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found this quote on Pinterest several years ago and fell in love with it for my craft room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As my housewarming party got closer and closer I enlisted a friend to help me do this project. She did all the lettering for me and helped me paint some. I am so glad that this project is finally done! I love it. It was a lot of work and I don't know that I would ever do it again but I am glad that its done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We used blue ink pen to draw the letters and the paint would not stick to it unless it was VERY thick. I ended up "painting" all the letters with the syringe that they gave me when I had my wisdom teeth out. Yeah not fun. Then the Sharpie would not work for very long going around the edges of the letters. I ended up using about 8 Sharpies on this and then gave up with the last little bit to go. Desperate for any kind of marker that would work I looked up and saw a black dry erase marker. It worked beautifully! If I would have just used that in the beginning I would have cut about 8 hour off my project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So without further ado here it is. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a similar picture to what the cork-board looked like before that I got off the internet because I forgot to take a before picture.</div>

</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Freehand591 BT;">Hi Everyone, </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Freehand591 BT; font-size: x-large;">I promise I have not dropped off the face of the earth, ok well maybe for a little while. I had all intentions of posting once a day for a year and we all see how that went. I do have good news though, I am going to be starting a new series (that doesn't require a post everyday). The series is going to be called Project Life: Enjoying the Moments. I am going to be starting a Project Life scrapbook, this is something I have wanted to do for awhile now and I have finally ordered it. Whoo! As soon as it comes in I will be posting about it and we will get started. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Freehand591 BT; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Freehand591 BT; font-size: x-large;">What is
Project Life? </span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Freehand591 BT;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Freehand591 BT;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><a href="https://vimeo.com/46687553" target="_blank"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-large;">Click Here</span></a></span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Freehand591 BT; font-size: x-large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Freehand591 BT; font-size: x-large;">Why did I choose Project Life?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Freehand591 BT; font-size: x-large;"> I chose to do Project Life becuse I love how simple it is. I was a traditional scrapbooker for most of my life. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Freehand591 BT; font-size: x-large;">I have every tool anyone could ever need or want and I have more paper, glitter, markers, and adhesive then anyone could ever use. That is all good and the traditional scrabooks that I do have I love and cherish. They sit on my coffee table as an everyday fixture and I look at them quite a bit. So what is the problem you ask? My last layout was in 2005! That is 7 years ago and I don't know about you but my life has not stopped because I have not added to my scrapbook. In fact I have had LOTS of life happen that I feel guilty that I have not preserved. I am not one to just put pictures in an album and be done with it. I have to have everything perfect and if that means spending a day on a layout so be it. I just don't have that kind of now. I want to have time to live my life without feeling guilty that I am taking time away from friends and family. Now with Project Life I can sit down once a week and scrapbook my whole week. The layout is the ssame from week to week; I just have to add text and pictures. Say I went to a wedding or I was sick and didn't do anything, it doesn't matter. Whatever I did that week was my life and it deserves to be remembered because doing the laundry is just a much a part of my life as going on vacation. It's the moments that make me, me and whether it's a big event or just normal everyday things it is who I am and it deserves to be remembered. </span></span></span><br />

an overview of what is to come with Alley Cats Corner. I hope you are as
excited about it as I am. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

By: Sara Bareilles<br />
<br />
Time to tell me the truth<br />
To burden your mouth for what you say<br />
No pieces of paper in the way<br />
Cause i cant continue pretending to choose<br />
These opposite sides on which we fall<br />
The loving you laters if at all<br />
No right minds could wrong be this many times<br />
<br />
My memory is cruel<br />
I'm queen of attention to details<br />
Defending intentions if he fails<br />
Until now, he told me her name<br />
It sounded familiar in a way<br />
I could have sworn I'd heard him say it ten thousand times<br />
If only i had been listening<br />
<br />
Leave unsaid unspoken<br />
Eyes wide shut unopened<br />
You and me<br />
Always between the lines<br />
Between the lines<br />
<br />
I thought i thought i was ready to bleed<br />
That we'd move from the shadows on the wall<br />
And stand in the center of it all<br />
Too late two choices to stay or to leave<br />
Mine was so easy to uncover<br />
He'd already left with the other<br />
So I've learned to listen through silence<br />
<br />
Leave unsaid unspoken<br />
Eyes wide shut unopened<br />
You and me be<br />
You and me always be<br />
<br />
I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say<br />
I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on<br />
Wait for me I'm almost ready<br />
When he meant let go<br />
<br />
Leave unsaid unspoken<br />
Eyes wide shut unopened<br />
You and me<br />
Always be<br />
You and me<br />
