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

So Happy Together

I thought the mice in this card were so cute!  How fun is that? This card is from a kit by Simple Stories.  They make the nicest kits that don't require anything but basic adhesive.  Plus with the extras you have left over, you can often make a couple of additional cards or mini sized cards.

Question of the day:  do you also have another crafting hobby?

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.
