Here are a few of my favorite things.... :)

Happy New Year!!!! Well...it happened again. Christmas came and went in a BLINK! Why does that happen?!! Don't get me wrong, we had a wonderful, blessed holiday season...but why does it have to go by so fast?

This year (rather last year ;) ) I was able to make about 60 cards with very little stress. Wierd, eh? After the initial 10 or so I (re)discovered Cards magazine by Northridge Publishing. Sing it with me: FAAAA-BU-LOUSSS! :) Then and there I decided to recreate any and all of the cards I could from their December issue. I had soooooooooooo much fun and made sooooooooooo much mess. :)

I know some of you might be wondering how I was able to adapt the designs without a sketch (the measurements). Typically, I use a ruler to measure the dimensions in the photo and scale it up to my project size. Sometimes you can get away with "that's 1/2" or "about a third." :) If you'd like a demo, remind me the next time I see you!

With this new addiction :) I'm actually scheduling workshops throughout this year to make our holiday cards! Very low key and low stress and high chocolate. :) When December rolls around you'll already have one item checked off the list!

Blessings in this new year,
