Starting the New Year

Today is the first day of the rest of my life .
Sounds a little scary,  when said out loud.

I want to get back into the habit of posting and sharing my CAS cards and TAGS . This something that I  have let slip for months . Another joyful activity that I have let slide is visiting other blogs .
Not that I did not enjoy being on  design teams for some wonderful groups,  because I loved it ,  but the commitment meant that time was my enemy .
So I have cleared my diary and will try to kick start my mojo..

I hope that you know that I have missed you , my friends , my visitors , my followers .

Welcome to my craft room once again .I am afraid that it is even worse than the messiest craft room that you have ever seen .

Have made a resolution to sell or give away  all of my older stamp sets but have to sort them out first ..errr dig them out more like it !!

Oh but I digress,   back to my reason for being here .

Baby Bumblebee, SU oldie . Baby Bundle , another SU oldie .
Retired paper , SU  Card base and stitched frame , SU Pear Pizzazz.  Die used is from MFT.
Combination of copics and SU markers as colour  medium .

Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.

Hi there blogging pals .

Here it is Wednesday ..the day after.

Welcome to my room , haven't been here since the last time .

 Really have to force myself to  "sit'' around, read a little , nibble this and that , watch a little TV and generally do what everyone thinks is... RELAXING .  SIGH!!

When all I would like to do is make a card , stamp , tear, punch, colour    you know what I mean?

Still I did sneak in to make this , hoping it would give me a "fix"

For this quick fix I used an image from a free CD on a magazine .

Complete card Making .

Card stock,  SU.

sentiment unknown ..

Background paper,  image and bottom strip from CD.

 

and the inside

 

I think it's a nice card for my stash .
Hope that you are all relaxing now , doing whatever it is that you do on the day after Christmas day.
Did you save any of the Christmas wrapping ?
Just a tip ..if you are going to use wrapping for craft . I cut a small piece , like A4 size or just around whatever image I want to use  , and place on jac paper .Thats double sided sticky sheets .  I then  remove the backing of jac paper and adhere to some card stock .   So the wrapping image  is easier to handle and  to cut with less tearing .

                                                            I believe  that papercraft is a form of art.
                                                             So I understand these words

                                                              What art offers is space -
                                                        a certain breathing room for the spirit.

                                                           And, today ,  my spirit is refreshed .

                               Thank you for calling in  .I hope that you enjoyed your visit .
                                      Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne.
