Cardmaking

Yesterday I went on a cardmaking spree with my friend as we watched the third series of Doctor Who, although it was rather distracting from the show in the end so I had to stop being all crafty!

Spotlight was selling huge bags of craft stuff for $5, so we were overloaded with fabulous ribbons, stickers, pins, patterned paper and stuff I had never even dreamed of.

Here are some of my final products:

The blank spaces are for writing short greetings such as 'Happy Birthday' or 'Congratulations' when the time comes :)

Just looking at them makes me feel happy!! Just what I need for some study relief :) Can't wait to have more time for this kind of thing!

Around the world.

Yesterday I went on a creative splurge to make a card for my brother returning from overseas :) I really like the colours in this photo he took of the trusty bike that got him around the different countries. I discovered some awesome tissue paper under my bed which had a world map printed onto it and decided to get arty!! It didn't quite turn out how I hoped, you're supposed to see the beginning and end destinations in the background, but perhaps there's not quite enough room to identify locations....

Also, it turned out that if I had just stuck the picture over the world map, one of the destinations would not be able to fit! So with some sneaky folding behind the picture I may have warped the map a little so as to fit onto the card!! But it is fairly to-scale ;)

It's nice to have little creative jobs to do every now and then in this time of complete boredom of essays, study notes and you-should-not-be-doing-anything-but-schoolwork-ness.
