Lynne will be going through her stash and sending one lucky winner a surprise package to someone that remarks and gives bloggie love on each of the participants.
For my first holiday I had National Craft Month, so I decided to make a card to honor all my crafty friends. I wish I could send one to all of you, but I can't... so here it is for all to see:
I decided to put a little of everything on the card: yarn and some knitted twine (on nails), some lace, a few beads (given to me by my friend Jenny Alessi), both on a string and on a pin. Also on the pin is a charm from my craft shop (it's a key). There are some buttons, a svg of a pinwheel from SVGCuts.com (one layer of the many layered freebie). In the middle of the pinwheel is a flat backed pearl from my shop. Also some paper flowers, lace and buttons. The sentiment I made using a font that I found here and the heart is from here.
The other holiday I chose to make a project for is Goddess of Fertility Day. I made an altered canvas.
The image of the Goddess's I found here, then I printed them on a thin card stock. The Klimt reproduction and the sunflowers are both napkins. They are adhered to the canvas with Mod Podge.
I decorated the ladies with various items including some dew drops, rhinestones, and red sunflower pearls from my supply shop as well as items that I had in my stash. You can also see a tree charm that came from my shop, as well as a jute cord that I used the put around the edge of the picture. The tree is another symbol that come up when you search for fertility.
Here is a close up of the left side where you can see the "vine" I made with thin green ribbon and put flowers on. You can also see the bird charm that, along with the bee on the sunflower napkin, makes the birds and the bee(s).
This flower I received in a swap from Eve Jansen-Brand (blog here). I added the button in the corner.
Your next stop along the way of the calendar is Lorby's World. Thanks for stopping by and mark your calendar again next month to see what Holidays to Celebrate on April 13, 2013, for the next Calendar Girls Blog Hop!
