I have been making crochet, knit, and beaded things for an awesome local shop called Gumballs and Overalls. It has been wonderful for me to get my yarny goodness out there, and making some money isn't too bad either!!
I have been asked to create some greeting cards for the shop. I used to scrapbook a million years ago, but I have gotten rid of most of the tools and paper that I had.
I went to Joanns to get some paper, and they were having a sale - half off the solid paper packs do I got 3 in different rainbows of colors. I pretty much covered the spectrum, so now I am ready... Ish. I also picked up a job application since I saw their help wanted sign ( :) ).
I gave it a go, and came up with a nice springy card. It is plain, but it was my first shot. I had seen somewhere they used a crochet flower on a button on a card, and that inspired this.
Since I made this I have been cruising ETSY and Pinterest for new ideas, and I have a bunch... But they all require some more papers!!
So today when I bring back the app, I'll see what fancy pants papers and/or dies I can score for cheap. Wish me luck!
