MARCH IS NATIONAL CRAFTING MONTH - half way mark

 

        Hello Friend, 

        Admittedly, the word "crafting" covers a whole lot of territory. But in current times we've come to understand that "crafting" refers to those skills practiced more creatively and with a vision unique to each artisan! 

    So this month, if you've been too busy to focus on your favorite craft, set aside some time and energy and see what you can come up with. I know this is my stress relief, crafting just gets my head calm and centered again when I am having a crazy week. Is it like that for you as well ? or why do you craft? For some of us, you may even want to dabble into something you have always wanted to try. For me I have always wanted to learn to knit, any new crafts you would like to try ?  

    If you find your fingers itching to be busy, and your heart yearning to make gift- worthy items that combine your creative talents and a curious mind, nows the time, or month as you have it to try your hand at ...... ( comment what you are doing I would love to know) , or finish up all the unfinished projects you have piled up :) 

    It's impossible to do all of your crafting in a single day, which is why we celebrate National Crfting Month.

    Just a few things I have been working on this month, you can checkout all my other crafting by following my Facebook or Instagram Pages, where I share creative inspiration all week long. 

Happy Crafting Month & Paper Hugs

SPRING IS AROUND THE CORNER.... I HOPE !

        

 Hi Friend, 

            Are you as ready for spring as I am? Here in Edmonton we had a week of nice weather, and then BAM, we got a 20 cm dump of snow. We had just started clearing away all of our winter stuff, the grass was poking out and we didn't have the vehicals plugged in anymore overnight, then that harsh slap in the face that winter is still in fact here. (insert tears LOL) 

    But the bright side is time change is this weekend and Spirng is here .. I Hope. I can't wait to get out the lawn furniture, patio decor and hangout in the backyard, we have plans to build gardening boxes to plants veggies and such this year. An then every year we have to start the task of reseeding our lawn for a few months, as the snow and freezing just kills it. 

    So did you get up to lots of crafting over the winter season? If you have been following my Facebook and Youtube Channel you will see so many cards and inspiration in videos and posts , I thought I would share a few ideas here today to get the creative juices flowing if you haven't started thinking of springy themed cards yet. 

    To make spring even more exciting the New Stampin' Up Annual 2022-23 Catalouge comes out in May, we as demonstrators get to see it this month and preorder April Fools Day, I can't wait to see what's in store and share with you all. If your not already on my mailing list you will want to be, as I will be sending out catalogues to those on the list, so Get On The LIST!!!! You can in the side bar under email, or in the pop up here. I would love to stay in touch and keep sharing creative inspiration with you. Til next time. 

Paper Hugs, 

Shanna
