Crafty night Friday

Jan 29, 2006 4 Replies

I worked on the ATCs mostly last night. I have been trying to decide what to do for weeks and last night I decided to just experiment until I came up with something I liked. At first I thought I'd decorate the whole sheet and then cut them a part. Then I finally decided to cut the paper into 10 per the template and work on each one. It's art right. There is no right or wrong way. So, I got out the stamps, stamp pads, make shift cleaner (couldn't find the cleaner pad), embossing powder, pearl ex powders, eyelets, adhesives and just went to town. I ended up making something that reminded me of the colors of a necklace my mom wore a lot in the 70's. Just warmed my heart. Now on to identifying myself on the back.



I also worked on the recipe swap some more. Seems like the more I work on it further behind I get. I know all at once it will all be done, but getting the bits and pieces together the way one wants can be a challenge sometimes.

We had a crafty night here as well. The local crop group met today and I went out after I finished my volunteer day at the museum. Attendance was down and everyone left early. Two of my DD's were there as well as my oldest DS's girlfriend. Another friend of mine stayed as well. The five of us scrapped, shared tools and had a great time. I only got three LO's done, but that's okay. It was the first time my DS's GF had been to a crop and she is a new scrapper. We spent a lot of time helping her get started. Won't be long we'll have enough family scrapping we'll have our own crop group. Sandy

I know what you mean about "a challenge" Lynne. I only just got the recipes I printed cut out. Now I have to come up w/ a lo. As for the ATCs, I'm having a lot of fun making them. Just need to push them aside and work on some recipes. 8-}
