Hi, Crafters! Welcome to my blog.
Happy you stopped by today.
Do you ever have one of those days when you want to make something for a certain theme, but you can't concentrate on what you're doing? I had one of those days yesterday.
I decided to make a whompy cake. I've seen it in the Silhouette store and loved it. My friend, Nana, made one last year, and I loved it. I tried to make it yesterday, couldn't concentrate, didn't cut the layers in the colors I meant, put it together wrong, put it together again the right way, and it still just didn't look good enough for me. It's a combination of errors. Want to see?
That's not right.
Better, but still not very good.
Oopsie. It fell in the trash can.
Then I saw the paper lantern and thought how fun! I could make a bunch of these and string them up from ceiling in my craft room. Wouldn't that be festive, fun, and unexpected joy? It's a cute idea, but the papers I chose didn't do anything for me once I got it put together. I left it outside on the front porch to enjoy nature by itself. Want to see that too?
So anyway, I'll keep trying to come up with something. Some days are like that. You don't get anything done, but feel like you've spent all day trying. And then some days I have 3 projects done before 8 o'clock in the morning. Go figure.
Back to our regularly scheduled post...............
Today and the next 2 Wednesdays,

They are basically all the same card base,
but decorated with different themes.
Today's Chalkboard Easel Card theme is Birthday.

See you tomorrow.
