Happy 2018!
It is a clean slate! Fresh start! A chance to get organized!!
Whatever your goals are for the new year, I wish you much success.
I would really like to get and stay organized. That statement might surprise many people who know me. I have OCD thanks to my Dad, who had extreme OCD. I have a hard time working when things are out of order. One of my Dad's favorite things to say was "A place for everything, and everything in it's place." It is a good rule to live by. Once you make that first fatal mistake and do not put something away in the right place, it escalates out of control quickly!
My dad passed away 26 years ago this year. It is hard to believe that it has been that long. He was very supportive of all my endeavors. I think he would have loved my success as a card maker. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was incredibly kind.
He would have loved this card because of the perfect spacing between the "tiles". He was a classy guy! On his birthday in 2018 he would have been 89!
I have used the True Gentleman Designer Series Paper and the Tailored Tag Punch from the new Occasions catalog. (page 45) This DSP is going to be a favorite! It is so nice to have a masculine paper. Not all men hunt, sail or fish! And I dearly love punches!! Especially if they have stamps to match! This punch comes as a bundle with some great stamps in the Truly Tailored Bundle.
I will be setting up my Spring schedule of classes soon! Call me if you wish to be included in the group emails about all of my classes. Would love to have you join us. Classes are held on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Sometimes even Friday if needed. My classes are limited to only 4 people per class so that everyone gets individual attention and has the chance to learn and grow in the hobby we love! Classes all start at 10:00 am.
Now go create something!
Happy New Year!!
I LOVE this Ellie! Been thinking of getting this bundle, really like the colors. Your dad would have been very proud of you. I'm planning on getting more organized this year, wish me luck.
ReplyDeleteI like to be organized too, more so with the cardmaking unfortunately. Love how you precised places the tiles and a nice orderly feeling...Reading about your father and how his philosophy affected you and that he is gone is how I have been feeling about mine too, as mine passed in Dec. 2014 so every holiday season I think about him as well...hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteI love your OCD, my OCD loves it too! Ha! This is a great card. Your Dad would have loved it!
