The photo is from a stained glass window at my Church. It was removed from the old Church when the new one was built and refurbished before being installed there. In the old church it was up high to one side of the Alter aria. In the new church it is at floor level and is is about life size.

Happy birthday Julie !

I created my own egg shaped offset cutout to be in keeping with the Easter theme of the card. Before the rainbow font: "HOP INTO A"

Although only a handful has posted, there are already over 150 registrants for this workshop. Woohoo!!!!

Hello, Here is my shadow box.

I have done a lot of crafting over the years. Sewing clothes for me and the children, knitting, embroidery, lace making, making cards with different paper techniques. But not any longer now because my hands and eyes don't cooperate any more! Therefore I switched many years ago to making my cards digital. Photography is and has always been a part of my life and now I can combine photography and making cards. Since I stumbled upon the Scrapbook Campus I have made a couple of printed books and photo albums with what I leaned, like the Alphabet Challenge of last year.

Between all the work on the Alphamaking for the Build a Kit, I needed another eastercard and was already planning to use the cutout freebie and just added the font and colored it in the same colors as the rings of the cutout. I kept it as a double card for printing and here is a single for email.

Here is a page layout done with : Before Rainbow Font and the scrap kit: St Patty's Day March 8-2023 Daily Download by Floralys Scrap until: St Patty's Day March 15-2023 Daily Download by Floralys Scrap .

Because I have been playing with this photo lately, I decided to use it here. I don't remember all the things I did to get rid of the rainbow and darken the one version. The font is Before the Rainbow. The background is "jessicaD-2017AprBT-paper-watercolor-stripes" the bow is "cass-Bow14-Rainbow01" and the other one is the same bow but darkened etc.

I have always loved crafting and in my younger years I did lots of craft shows selling mostly Christmas ornaments, small gifts, etc. made with just about anything from painting wood to sewing. As I got older and unable to do the shows any longer, I switched to digital crafting. I had a friend that had a small business making cookie mixes in quart jars and she ask if I could design some labels and tags for her jars.....so that was my start into digital crafting. Now I design and sell these jar kits, candy bar wrappers, cards and lots more. But it is more about "creating" rather than making money. I started out designing with PSP 7 and had many other versions over the past 10-15 years up to PSP 2023. I recently joined Diamond and am learning so many new ways to do things that I never knew existed.....I wish I had joined sooner but thought the classes were more about scrapbooking but there is so much more!

I've done many different crafts over the years. From embroidery to counted cross stitch to plastic canvas creations and latch hook rugs. I was a very good customer of Herrschner's craft catalog back in the 80's. I did paint-by-number kits and those makit and bakit kits of ornaments and suncatchers. Always had something I was working on in the evenings while watching TV. Then there is the scrapbooking, both traditional (paper) and digital. The 2 crafts I did the most of was the counted cross stitch and scrapbooking. Here are 2 layouts I did in January for a challenge elsewhere that were about hobbies over the years. And, I made my own little plastic canvas element from the tutorial here for the first layout.

I have also love to craft. sewing, knitting, crochet, bobbin lace, tatting, cutting and sticking, cards etc. Not enough time in the day for many but I do make mini scrapbooks and other 3d card/paper projects. I make all the books from scratch, including the flowers. i have attached a photo of some I had done mainly during lock down which really helped with the isolation period.

My top crafts right now are painting with watercolor and acrylics, and anything with my Silhouette - vinyl, templates to paint with, etc.

Over the years I have tried many crafts. Even as a child I was creating things from card, paper, paint etc. I have done embroidery, knitting, crochet, pottery, jewellery. (Won a crochet competition which was for a knitting & crochet magazine and my design was published. I tried to encourage my daughter to be interested in crafts when she was younger, but she was more interested in sport. She did enjoy sketching now and then. A few years back she started doing Crochet, and she has made a number of things. I got my crochet hooks out, and realised it had been so long since I last did any crochet that I had forgotten some of the stitches!! Since then it has been Scrapbooking, Digital Art, Photography, and composites. UPDATE I have added Photos of an embroidery I created, with crochet back.

Yes, I've always loved crafting. Knitting, crocheting, macrame, candle making, string art, cookie decorating, cake decorating, chocolate molds, and of course digital scrapbooking! I would really like to learn to paint this year. I tried it once before and would like to do more. So many things to do! I like to search our local Goodwill store for craft supplies!

I don't do much crafting any more because the ones I used to do hurt my hands now. I have done many crafts over the years from Tatting and Crocheting, to Leather Tooling. I do still pick up my Tatting shuttle now and then and make something small.

Easter ecard, a page which doesn't have at least one of my photos in it doesn't sit to well with me. Nuttall's kit rabbits.

I have knitted and crocheted a lot. My grandmother taught me to knit and crochet when I was very small. I've always loved doing that. Sewing, cross stitching, I did too, but not very much. Due to osteoarthritis and osteoporosis I do that less now, but I always have a knitting or crochet project that I continue to work on now and then. In the meantime I like to be busy on the PC, and I really enjoy being a member of the scrapbook campus. That's what I do most of the time in my free time. Of course walking with my dog is very important, and then I always have my camera with me, or I use my smartphone. I can then use those photos in the scrapbook campus. Photography (hobby) is also something I have been doing for a long time.

I got signed up and am looking forward to the workshop!

This is very popular in fact!

This is a great design.

I've done a good bit of crafting through the years. Cross stitch, embroidery, woodworking, gag gifts, stenciling...and the list goes on. When my church was doing craft bazaars I enjoyed the projects where several people worked on the same project. One would cut, one would sand, one would base coat, and one would decorate...then usually, someone sealed the project. I must have build 40 or 50 butterfly houses...then someone else completed the other steps.

H = happy, especially if you drink Michele's Guinness!

I signed up for this one too, I regret I didn't get signed up for the Build a Kit one. I think I would have learned a lot.

I don't do much crafting. But when the time comes (mostly near the end of october) I do craft my own christmas cards. I have a lot of stuff to do so. It costs me two hours to craft two christmas cards (because I''ve to cut very small pieces for my cards) but I love it and it's worth it. I'll look for one of my christmas card to post here. Have a lovely and pleasant day!

I registered, I just hope I can keep up. Looking forwarded to doing mine and seeing what the rest of you do.

Hi, I am looking forward to learning more about texting.?

Hello, I'm registerd, I will try not to be late!

I've played with many different crafts over the years. I started with sewing my own clothes from paper patterns (Simplicity, etc) mainly because I was so skinny nothing fit from the store. I made clothes for my daughters when they were small, also. My Mom introduced me to crochet. She did some beautiful work including a large white afghan (machine wash and dry) that I still use. It's so heavy, it could qualify as a "heavy blanket" that is all the rage now. I also tried knitting. I was always interested in art, so I sketched and did some paint-by-numbers items. I got into embroidery and my cousin, Linda from Cohoes, NY, and I would compete to see who could finish their project faster! ? (I think it was a sampler featuring the Lord's Prayer.) I was never very good at photography and couldn't afford a good camera. I borrowed my husband's camera when I took a photography class in college and traveled my area shooting historic scenes in black and white and developing them in our lab. That was fun. I transitioned naturally to computer graphics because I thought myself rather "ham-handed" with supplies IRL. I was never much good at coding as I couldn't remember anything without the book open on my lap. My best talent was using color as it was always very important to me, from clothes to home decor. I also like to cook but that was in the past when I at least had more than one to cook for. Most of my hobbies involved animals: dogs, cats, tropical fish and snakes. I also advocate for wild animals, especially Big Cats, and for a stop to "cub petting" and "animal tourism."

There is a person that walks her two Irish Wolfhounds by our house. the person is short (like me) so they look even taller than normal. It was definitely one of those stop what you are doing and just we wowed by the size of them.

Hello Julie, this card is simple but pretty!

I thought I would go very "scrapbooky" for this theme as I thought it was a silly phrase to address Daylight Saving Time. All of the papers and elements are from Chantahlia Designs except the bow. I used the CD ribbon with Cassel's Bow 18 script. The font is Sunblast from FDR (Free Design Resources). Everything on the Chantahlia Designs website is free...yes, everything! I don't remember how I learned about CD, but I'm so happy I signed up for her newsletters. Lots of her papers come in many different hues and her themed sets usually include papers, elements, washi tape, brads, alphas, etc.

Happy Birthday, Julie. Here's one of my Irish Wolfhounds making the announcement! ?

March...I didn't spend much time on the Build-a-Kit project. It would have required a lot of time in watching videos to figure out how to make some of the components, and I just couldn't spend the time lately. But March 17 is a day I can't ignore....no, no Irish in my genes...it's my birthday. And I like to make a Facebook greeting for the day just for the few friends I have on there. Nothing in this layout is mine. It's all from somewhere....Digital Scrapbook (frame), elements (from ?), and photo of the Emerald Isle from Unsplash. But I had fun playing with it and it didn't eat up a lot of time.

I'm in also.

Me too ?

I'm in!

I'll come along too

I'm in too and I have followed the Wise Words Challenge, but I was such a rookie at that time that it will be a good thing to do this again. I'm certain I have forgotten a couple of things?

I participate ?

I'm here, too. Looking forward to this!

Also signed up. Hope to learn something new!

I am registered too. I have never taken this workshop. Looking forward to the texting adventure ahead.
