Carolyn's Return to the Craft Table....

Where does the time go? I thought it was a few months since I'd last sat down to post on the blog - but it's been half a year!! Holy Schmoley! Why is it that the older I get, the faster time flies?

Life has been hectic, and I've been feeling kinda crazy lately, but instead of calling a shrink, I do what makes me feel best - I pull out my paper and glue and get crafting! Somehow, taking the time to create makes me feel, if not sane, at least at some kind of tentative peace with the madness.

Here's my therapy for today:

365 Cards - Challenge 27 "I'm Touched"

The card must have 8 elements (not including background paper) and each element must overlap at least two others.

Crazy difficult challenge! I've only succeeded if I am allowed to call each individual colour of ribbon as a separate element. I kinda like the weaving effect - but it sure was time consuming!

365 Cards - Challenge 26 "Card Recipe"

The ingredients for this recipe are:
5x5" card
3 circles
2 squares
Ribbon
Sentiment
and the toughest part of all... nothing else!

I also played around a bit with my Silhouette, cutting the word 'Celebrate' out twice for a shadowed effect. Not for a challenge... just for fun. :D
