Whenever I fall out of love with card making I find the best thing to do, rather than keeping at it, is to 'change it up', try something new. So, I've been weaving newspaper. It's an absorbing craft, ideal if you're looking to lose yourself for a few hours! I do love 'Upcycling', there's just something so rewarding about taking an item destined for the recycling bin and turning it into something useful. Now, here's a link to the tutorial I used, other tutorials are available ;).
Now, what else have I been up to this week. Oh yes, I've treated myself to a couple of paper pads from MME.
That's not unusual you might say. Well, it is for this little lady that can't stand clutter. I usually work with digital designs for that reason, you can just print off what you need so no piles of paper pads to store. I'm hoping these lovelies will get me back in the card making groove. She says, crossing fingers and toes!
Lastly, it's Product focus week over on the Bubbly Scrumptious blog. Here's a little peek at the lovely Prima iron ons we're working with. I'll be back with my finished project on Saturday. In the meantime, you can check out the blog to see what the other daily designers have been creating with theirs.
