Sidetracked and Feeling Genius

Anyone who reads my jabber knows that the word "sidetracked" comes up every now and again. My attention span for domestic chores and other non-pleasantries of the like is short. As for "genius," I don't use that word very often when describing myself . . . for obvious reasons. However, every once in a while, I have a light bulb moment. Prior to beginning my chores, I was surfing the net looking at (you guessed it) stamps. I came across a background stamp that looks like notebook paper. It's one that I've seen before that I thought I needed because I own a Stampin' Up Spiral punch that I don't use nearly as much as I thought I would. Studying "the" stamp, it suddenly dawned on me that I could create my own lined paper with my Printshop program. It took about two minutes, and while I'm sure to some, it doesn't seem all that smart, I am feeling pretty good about it. I'm sure the same thing can be done with Word. As for the card design, I was so excited about my new "paper" that I literally threw the card together using stamps and materials cluttering my desktop. The selection was relatively good. The focal point image and ribbon need to be moved up about a half inch. I'll fix it later after I do what I'm supposed to (or should) be doing.
