i'm sorry for being away for so long, but the events of february just took over--mardi gras, a 4th grade class play, getting ready for our land & sea disney adventure--all while still teaching and working on orders. something had to give, and that ended up being the blog. i was creating like crazy during the month though, and took pictures faithfully along the way, fully intending to pop in from time to time. but then i misplaced my camera cord. mostly, the problem was time, though! we got home monday (a day late thanks to the snow in atlanta), and i found the camera cord last night, so here's a quickie little project i created for our stateroom...
i ran out of time to make it at home, but since i'd already bought all of the disney stickers, i quickly grabbed the supplies the day we left and made it in our hotel room the night before we boarded--brightly colored papers from a su! designer paper pad, lots of 3d disney stickers from michael's, thin black ribbon, and a page of circle labels with the letters printed on them in different colors and styles. for the stickers, i was sure to include aladdin (the 4th grade play), the little mermaid (the theme of the girls' mardi gras ball), pirate mickey (a cruise theme), it's a small world (a favorite ride at disney), and of course, mickey and minnie and friends! basically, i just placed the labels in the middle of a different colored paper, surrounded them by the stickers, letting some of them hang over the edge, and folded each one over the ribbon to attach. i really didn't have time to think through the colors and layout out much before i left home, so i'm glad it worked! i left a little bit of ribbon hanging from each end in case i could tie it or tape it, but my best idea was the last minute one to bring a couple of washers and strong magnets--the ceiling was metal and it attached perfectly! the girls loved it and it really was such a cheerful addition to the room!
i promise to be back with all of the projects i've been working on, a few pics from the trip, and new card designs on a more regular basis again. many thanks to those who are still checking in on me...
