Good day everyone! It's Wednesday. I got this cute paper pad from Michael's (local craft store in America) it's 2x3" size, so small, but when you fold it, it makes the cutest, tiniest cards. (see product HERE) They are small but so cute and a great way to use all those little leftovers you have from card kits, sticker sheets, etc,

Love
WOW I can't believe it's almost the end of the month already...Here's another CAS card that I made at the cute little workshop right before Christmas. I didn't bother to make many Christmas themed cards even though that is what most of their supplies were for because it was so close to the holiday that I had already mailed my cards out.

CAS (Clean and Simple)
So I went to one of those art studios where you pay a small amount to craft by the hour. They had a bunch of crafts you could do: painting, card making, labels/tags, ceramics (you had to buy the ceramics) and so forth. I just sat down and made some CAS cards with some of their papers and punches. Here's one of them

All you need is LOVE
All you need is LOVE. I totally remember last year while working with the 1-year-olds that I would be sitting with them during naptime and the teacher would always play the Beatles in Muzak form (so piano or just wordless). I listened to the same set of music, everyday for months. Lucky that I can enjoy it. I listened to it A LOT.
