C-R-E-A-T-E

That's what I've been trying to do lately.  CREATE!  It seems like all I've been doing is shopping... Lol.  I've got a bunch of projects in the works, but haven't had a solid amount of time to work on them. That's one of the reasons for this project.  It's a reminder of why I have all the goodies that I do.... so that I can actually CREATE things :-) 

I used the directions from the CTMH Spellbound Workshop On The Go Kit (G1040) to make this banner.  I didn't want to start cutting into the gorgeous paper without a trial run first, so I thought it would be good to make something to decorate my little crafty space with :-)

Pardon the mess, but I just got home and was putting stuff away (yes... I went shopping... AGAIN!).  All the cuts came from the CTMH Artiste Cartridge (pennants, letters, circles/scallops, and roses), and I used some jewelry jump rings to attach them together.  I did a bit of stash diving and used an old ColorBok paper pad I had as well as some AC pastel cardstock.  Add in a bit of ribbon from my stash and it was ready to go.  I'm thinking I may add to it over time... like start attaching some flub cuts that I hate to throw away, or some of the coloring practice items.  We'll see.  For now, I wanted to get it up and off the work desk so I can work on other things and not ruin it. 

I've got a fun-filled weekend ahead of me... with nothing but crafting in my sights.  I've got a bunch of projects to finish up, as well as some I have to start.  I'm so far behind in my Project Life that I'm thinking it would be easier to just skip a few weeks and start again from the beginning of this month :-/.  Cards for some kids in the family, as well as a "commissioned" job for my Aunt.  I've got a LOT of work to do :-)

Until later my scrappy friends.... Hope everyone has a great Friday!
