Study Break Craft

So I'm currently in the middle of my final school exams, the HSC.

I thought it would be a good study relief, and friendly exercise, to make some good-luck cards for all my friends :)

Each card has a patterned paper backing, and the front has a short message of encouragement and fun stickers and stencil-drawings and clips! They also have a string of buttons and pendents, either their name letter or something random (why would a packet have three O's and a number of obscure letters like Z, but no ordinary K's, C's, J's or N's?!)

Here are some of my favourites. I just love patterned paper :D

An excellent relief from study, however now I'm fully in the academic zone :) 2 exams down, 5 to go!

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!
