cost of stamps goes down!
the cost of postage stamps went down today: 47 cents now to mail a card/letter!
Perfect timing to send that card/letter to someone and even better - April is national letter writing month.
I used lots of fun techniques along with some favorite old and new stamps, stencils, dies, and inks.
Try something today and put it in the mail tomorrow!

a different project......
I was bitten by the "Loom" bug after seeing Prima's new loom kit. I decided to give it a try yesterday and made a cardboard loom (looked up how to make one) and gave it a whirl.
Sad to say, it was pretty cool!!! Even Jeff was impressed with it.
All in all it took about 2 1/2 hours from beginning to end - making the loom and weaving.

It isn't quite finished. I still have to trim the ends. But it was fun and I can see more ideas ahead. It measures 5 x 9. Not sure how it will look in the end, after embellishing and stuff but I did have fun making it!
And sometimes that is was art is all about!

white embossed on mixed media and wate rcolored |
silver embossed on mixed media paper and water colored with black paint |
the "fancy" water colors I have been using - crayola! |
a quick technique that creates lots of product in very little time and the final results
8 cards in an hour! well actually 9 but one is already in the mail! |
they almost look like grapes before they open |
one man's trash is another's treasure. |
Hope you enjoyed my "March is Craft month" shares.
