Cutting back on my Internet Time

I got an email two days ago that I had already exceeded my internet usage for the month, which ends on the 22nd. Then today I got an email that I had already used 90% of my first overage amount. What?!  I do believe that Pinterest has been eating up all of my data!  I'm so sad because I love it and have had fun trying out some new things lately. But I will have to cut back so I don't have a huge internet bill. That's probably not a bad thing though because I haven't gotten much done around the house lately, so now I will have some free time to clean.  Ha ha!

I did a clean and simple card today for the challenges at Dynamic Duos and clean&simple.
I used bubble wrap last week and I knew it would come in handy again so I saved it just in case. I decided to use it for my background on this card.
I used my markers to color on the bubble wrap and then pressed it onto my cardstock. So easy and a great way to do a simple background!  I wanted to use stars instead of flowers but we don't have any star punches. BOO!  What I would really love is some star Framelits!  Are you listening SU!? :)

    This is fab Shana, the bubble wrap gives great texture and a really funky look. Shame about the internet but don't get too drastic and do housework!!
