Boy it's been a LONG time since I even felt like I wanted to make a card, let along execute it. So I think I have been cooking and baking to fill the void, but that doesn't work. They are two entirely different kinds of creativity and one doesn't replace the other.
Well I think I am finally in a bit of a transition. I actually cut out a few things today on my Silver Bullet Professional (I still so love that machine), and believe it or not, I used the pen tool "officially" for the first time! That is embarrassing to admit. I have played around with it, but never really settled in and used it. Wow - I love it! Just have to remember to switch to WYSIWYG when I do that so it actually writes in the correct place! Don't ask........
This was the year I was going to make Christmas cards. It has been YEARS since I have done that. It was also the year I was going to finish a project for the three kids that has been in my head forever. Note the use of the word "WAS". Yes, unfortunately maybe next year will be the year. Darn it all - I really want to create the project for the kids and just have to set aside the time and DO IT! But I seem to get so busy the last half of the year with volunteer commitments that personal projects go by the wayside. Maybe the coming year I can focus and get most of the work done early so there is not a lot left the last half of the year. That remains to be seen.... well enough of my whining. Here's to a productive 2014!! :)
For now, I have to be content with a few cards. This snowflake background pattern is from Birds Cards (her files cut so well) and the snowflake embellishments are also hers. I should have written down what font I used on the tag.....oops!
