Is that a Centre Step Card?!?

Why yes, it is. Thank you for noticing. And something almost miraculous happened when I was making it. I had to use only one piece of cardstock to make the base, which meant I actually made the proper cuts and scores the very first time - that's unheard of! And to top it off I uttered absolutely no swear words during the whole construction of this card. Also extremely shocking seeing as this was not your standard card.

'Tis the season for wonderous events, I guess.

    Don't you love when a card can come together without having to re-do it two or three times? I love how you angled the image and papers.

Okay, so ever since I started my blog (well, maybe not right from the get-go, it was probably a good six months or so before I realized you could change it from just "Leave your comment") I've tried to come up with something witty to type here.

*sitting with brow furrowed in concentration*...*staring at the ceiling while pursing lips*...*resting with head on hand while tapping foot*...

Nope, I still got nothing.
