What a busy couple of days! We were in a hockey tournament this past weekend and then Riley came down with the flu on Sunday and couldn't play in the semi-finals. He is still sick today, poor guy. That has meant limited computer time for me and more mommy time with him. I am feeling a little off today...I hope it passes. No time for the flu.
I can not believe Easter is this weekend!!! How did that sneak up on me? I swear the older I get the faster time flies by. Do you have any big plans for the weekend? We will decorate eggs on Good Friday. Dinner and an egg hunt at my brothers on Saturday and then plans with Rich's family, too. I LOVE Easter!!! It is a sure sign that spring is right around the corner!
Speaking of Easter, I have to share a project the talented Kelly Goree made! Kelly contributed a few projects to Creative Foundations and she can make a layout like nobodies business!!! When I first asked her to play along and try some techniques for the book she of course said yes but I could sense a little hesitation. After playing with the stuff and getting her hands dirty she remembered how much she LOVED this kind of creating and rediscovered her college "art" roots. That is what it is all about my friends! Let go of what you think you know and love and try something totally new! YOU CAN NOT FAIL! You can't. It is all about playing and allowing yourself the freedom to enjoy the process without the pressure to always do it "right" the first time. Who decides what is "right" anyway?
Look at what Kelly made...
She used a variation of the ENCASED technique from Creative Foundations. I LOVE THESE EGGS!!!! You can read all about how she made them on the Scrapbook & Cards, Today blog HERE. Kelly is doing a monthly series called Old, New, Borrowed, Cool. Make sure to check it out! And you can follow Kelly on her blog HERE. Thanks, sweet friend! I can't wait to see what else inspires you from the book!!!
After seeing this project from Kelly it made me want to see more!!! Maybe I should start a monthly Creative Foundations challenge! I know a lot of you have the book...what are you making? Have you looked at it yet? LOL! I am telling you...get it out and play! What have you tried? I want to see your "stuff". Then I can share it here! Let me know!
Ok. Back to the sick boy. He needs a popsicle. Have a GREAT Tuesday!!!
