Yesterday's activity was mostly making cards. I finished off the red cardstock and most of the pieces that I'd stamped, embossed and cut. Just put them all together to make a bunch of pretty red cards. Since I've done a lot of similar stuff already, no photos of those.
I'm playing with the haiku - I have a bunch of "lines," pieces and parts that I need to complete at some point. When inspiration strikes, I guess!
Today's fun and continued jumping back into the creativity has included some new cards, some gift tags, and working more on knitted bell ornaments. I created the cards using another pack of the green glitter edged blank cards that I picked up a few weeks ago. I decorated with "packaged" bling, and stamped the inside with a combination of "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Holidays" greetings.
Yeah, I think I'm really obsessed with cards right now!! Well, it's just too soon to start baking! :) And I found a few new card ideas online last night. I'll just have to get a few supplies and try them out.
After the cards today, I made a few gift tags. Usually I make all my gift tags from the previous year's card fronts. I cut them down with decorative scissors, punch a hole, and add the "to" and "from" stamps, and tie them on the Christmas gifts. But I decided to make some gift tags out of some of the longer embossed pieces I made last week. I'm pleased with them.
And now, I'll knit for a while.
Oh yeah, I'm looking for ideas of things to do with egg cartons. I have a bunch and will continue to, since I do so much baking. I know that I can make little bell ornaments out of them, but I want some other ideas as well.
