#the100dayproject : handmade card 71/100-2 : happy new year
Posted by Kerry Wills on
i had a conversation with a friend today about starting the new year off on a positive note and i thought about creating + mailing new years cards instead of - or in addition to - holiday/christmas cards.

but in all seriousness, i couldn't do what i do without the help of this guy. during show season he's right there with me, doing all the heavy lifting and talking me up to anyone and everyone. he's great at feedback and at suggesting ideas for things i would never think of and i love when he keeps me company in the craft castle. he encourages me to spend far too much money on new supplies ["because you need them, obviously" is one of his go-to lines] and he's one of the most incredible humans i've ever met. so it's well deserved that he earns employee of the month. love you babe!
okay...onto the card for today! the inspiration wheel landed on heat embossing and sometimes that intimidates me. however, i decided to try a few different things.

the card for today - it's definitely one that'll be a day maker for whoever is on the receiving end of it! the inspiration wheel landed on 3D element for the second time in a couple days and i thought it would be great to use the fun foam again!

it doesn't seem like fall right now to me - especially with these 70+ degree days [i'm totally not complaining!] but the abundance of leaves in my front yard tells me otherwise. soon enough it'll be chilly and i'll probably be moaning about the snow - sooo while i'm embracing this weather, i decided to translate some of those feelings into today's card.

do you ever have those ideas that you think are going to be money - like so amazing that there's no way they won't work out? and then you try them and they totally ... don't?
live and learn and take something away from it i say.
