Just three days after Christmas, Target had all of their Valentine's Day items on display. It seems like every year the retailers push each holiday sooner and sooner. I got a little excited seeing all the red and pink because it got me thinking about how fast the winter is going and that we are getting closer to warmer days. I have to admit, those of us who live in the Midwest spend a lot of time dreaming about the four months out of the year that it's actually warm and sunny. By February/March we are almost mental about it!
Today's craft idea is a Valentine's Day Shadow Box.
Why not make a little one of these to give instead of a card?
You could make one with your son or daughter to give to a teacher or friend.
I think most people would appreciate it's simple charm.
Today g. and I decided to render her and her dog running through the grass. This little image dreams of warmer days and a dog that can run again.
Method:
•I began by using a wooden toy box and some scraps of card stock.
•Then I drew the scene on a piece of plain paper. Once your scene is drawn, you can cut out each piece separately and use the pieces as templates - to trace around.
•I found t3D mounts in the dollar section at Target and stacked them 2-6 high to make the paper lift off the background.
Stay tuned: next week I will have a few patterns available for download along with all the supply sources!
