12 Days of Christmas Crafts - Day 4

...and now....for your viewing pleasure......Day 4:

I made these guys the same way I made the ornaments I posted yesterday: I used a Fancy Pants creative card (these little guys rock...I love them to journal, too...) , stitched and painted the card..adhered the felt pieces and ribbon hanger on top...added some glitter glue. My mom and Wayne got these lil dudes for Christmas for their tree. =) My apologies to those of you who've seen these at sis already...new stuff coming tommorrow!! yay!

And also, the latest Scrapmojo challenge is up!

...it's not my favorite page ever, but what can you do, hey? They're not all fabulous. at film school, there was this saying that you have to make 10,000 bad drawings before all of them are good...and I think it must be true for all art: you experiment, you try, you have your off days. =)

i am super-tempted to try Ashley Wren's fab challenges: Overlooked. eeek! But I have so much on my plate, I'm not sure if I should....argh, all these cool challenges and such...lol....

I am also super-excited at how great art-wise the new year is turning out to be already: got some commissions, I get to dip into freelance work, make some felt goodies, and there are also some super-secret scrap projects that I can't yet tell you about that are rockin my world...=) yay! If this is a sign of the year to come, I'm psyched! =) Hope everyone is great today! even though it's back to the daily grind...I wish weekends were 5 times longer than they are...(sigh) must do all the things I neglected to do this weekend tonight: clean, laundry, groceries...blah! Happy day, anyway...=)
