Look what I found

I said I have been doing some rearranging and organizing in my craft room.  Yesterday I put some packaged photos in a photo box in order.  In the closet there were a couple of other boxes of old photos that need to be scanned but I decided to put them in the box with the others.  When I took the boxes out, guess what I found?

Two gate fold cards that I made who knows how long ago.  I must have put them there to put pressure on the cards to keep the gates closed.  I can see by the lines on the star that these were PC (preCricut) so that IS a long time ago.  I've learned a LOT since then.

My challenge card for today is for Less is More.  The theme is tearing.

I took a piece of cream cardstock and stamped the background with a Tim Holts grunge stamp in black.  The image, torn around the edges is from an old book by Balzac.  It's in French and I bought it for a quarter at a book sale, intending to use the word pages.  There are a few illustrations in it and I thought this one would work for the card using the "Thinking of You" stamped sentiment.  Who knew grunge and Balzac could work together. lol
