I'm taking it easy tonight. As the world parties throughout the night to welcome the new year, I have actively decided, for once, to take the one night I try to celebrate to finish up some projects. I do so wholeheartedly, with a sincere promise to myself to make up for it with some fun and mischief in 2013.
With that said, here is my winter forest of paper paisley trees,
my first creative project shared beyond my living room and into my
digital garden. I cut the trees by hand, tracing three (out of many) tree cut-out designs. The trees were then glued onto tabs in folded 6.5" x 4.5" safari-themed card stock to create...
...pop-up Christmas cards! Last year, I created Christmas cards in tribute of dad, this year I went crazy and made my crazy idea come to life. This was my first pop-up project, and now that I've wrapped my mind around the basic idea, I can build on my new tangible creations instead of just dreaming about the concept.
I'm celebrating the remainder of the night with a champagne glass of hot jasmine green tea.
May the night be kind to all.
