This is the first time, in 30+ plus years as a teacher, when I have not touched any schoolwork (yet) … that equates to four weeks of holidays!!
There may have been some domestic chores to deal with and Christmas preparations & celebrations … but, most of this time has been indulgently spent crafting.
After returning from a few days in Noosa – catching up with my sister and brother and their families, I have been back in my ‘craft cave’ preparing samples to display at my Occasions Catalogue event at the end of January.
I have been re-creating many of the projects found in the catalogue and creating a few of my own …
This is my interpretation of the ‘Going Places’ framed image – page 38.
I re-created the ‘Missing You’ card from p21, using the Happy Home stamp set … and, loving the kite scene stamp, created this card using the Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set ‘Sky is the Limit’ along with ‘Happy Home’ and the window thinlit from the ‘Hearth & Home’ thinlits dies.
Finally … after re-creating the ‘Welcome Baby’ card from page 24, I created this ‘Welcome Home’ card – it is hard to go past primary colours – in this case – Crushed Curry, Real Red and Night of Navy.
In the past two days, I have crafted almost 25 cards … holidays are amazing … however, it is back to school for me next week …my goal for 2016 is to be creative every day and post at least twice a week … let’s see how I go!!
