Inspiration

It's 11:30 here in sunny buffalo, and I just realized the the entire morning is gone, in part due to some work here in the office, but mostly because I clicked onto Whipup, and haven't been able to get out! Those folks do such a great job finding all of the gems around the crafty blogosphere, and I just have to click on every single tutorial. I love seeing what other people are doing and I get so inspired to try new techniques!

Last night I tried to make some paper, inspired by a fabulous tutorial by B Zedan on Flickr. The whole thing is so well thought out and easy to understand. My paper turned out ok, but I need to make some different screens like the ones she shows here. Mine is a picture frame with some screen taped on, but there's a gap and all the paper gets stuck. I have some fab ideas for recycled paper Christmas ornaments and gift tags for the holiday craft show circut. Wait for it...
