Fun
Side note: We made a short but fun family video last evening. However, when reviewing the footage before editing, we discovered that one of the grands was just out of camera view. We’ll have to try again next month. Now that we have a little experience with setting things up for this, it should work wonderfully. Let’s just hope that everyone is able to come. It was sounding a little iffy for a few. We still have a few months before it will be too cold to do an outside shoot, so, we will be trying again.
We were also able to get family group photos of everyone as well, to update the photo montage in the living room. I hope to print everything out this week and get them in the frame. I’m hoping to pull something off for Mother’s/Father’s day as well, but we’ll have to see how that works out. I may or may not be able to put it together, but it would be fun to do something 3D for our crew.

3 Positives:
time in the studio
organized a few things
found a painting done by Mom. In honor of her birthday day today, I’m going to get it up today.
I first saw an example of this card on Pinterest – traced it down to the designer and yep, made a cut file using her free template/measurements found on her YouTube channel. Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wsj4VVUHoDI
The fairy images are from Etsy and the panel image is from Creative Fabrica (one of their many polka dot collections). The opacity is at 33% with a bold dark blue outline which I did want to show a bit when cut. The Deckle edge rectangle is an oldie from Penny Duncan Crafts (2011). The font for the sentiment (Good Friends Never Go Out of Fashion) is Fairy Sketch. No inking on this version of the card.
So fun – It is a little oversized and thick so extra postage on this one.
Have a creative week! Enjoy your time in your studio, browsing for ideas or just musing at your art! And of course, SMILE!
