Lace it up!

I think I may have finally got myself back into the crafty groove - January is always a hard month for creating for me. I tend to binge-watch TV shows (bless you, Netflix, for the 4 seasons of The Good Wife that is my current binge) and work on crochet projects. I finished a scrap blanket that had been in the works for over a year, got as far as I could on another project (need more yarn), and bored myself silly die-cutting for crocheted mats....so then I went to sit at my desk. And made some fun stuff :)

The current challenge at The Kraft Journal is "Lace it Up", and I CASEd one of my own cards that I never got around to sharing on the blog. I'll pop it in at the end (but it doesn't meet the challenge requirements).

Supplies: kraft card stock; PTI sentiment; papers  from Basic Grey; Brushed Corduroy distress ink; Hero Arts lace; Paper Smooches twine; Tonic edge distresser; flower made with Martha Stewart clay kit

I've been having great fun playing with this Martha Stewart clay - especially the white. You'll be seeing a whole lot more of these embellishments in the next week or so! 

Here's my original card, which I'd actually made for a previous Kraft Journal 'thank you' challenge and didn't get posted in time:

Supplies: essentially the same as above, with miscellaneous twine; classic small circle Nesties; and Tumbled Glass distress ink

It definitely feels good to be making things again - paper things, that is!
