Art Every Day - Day 1

Leah from Creative Every Day is hosting her annual "Art Every Day Month" this month! I heard about it on Rita's blog, (thanks Rita!!) and was intrigued!!! I have so many things I want and need to do, and my mojo has been seriously lacking of late. So...what better than a little nudge and accountability to get ya going again??? Perfecto!!

I signed up for a Card Candy Swap to be held at the upcoming Stampin Up Convention. And then immediately regretted it!!!! Not because I didn't want to do it, but because I was terrified that whatever I came up with (and it was realllly hard deciding on what to do to begin with!), wasn't going to be *good enough*. Now I'm hardly a stamping novice.....but.....this is like....HARD CORE, lol!! Does that make any sense at all?? Well, I was intimidated. And that doesn't happen very often! (thank God!)

I also don't like repetitive stamping. I like to make ONE of something, and that's it. Assembly line creating isn't my thing. At all. Except they all had to be the same. (I hadn't thought of that either when I decided to do this, lol!!!) *grumble, grumble*

My desk during the "creating process":

I did a mock up of the first set, and then went about duplication.

I think I used just about every punch I own, lol!
(Not really, but it seemed like it!)

I also used A LOT of pop-dots, sticky tape and dimensionals!!
A LOT, A LOT, ALOT!!!!

Tomorrow I will have them all finished, bagged and tagged for Convention! AND I will have detailed instructions in case anyone would like to make up their own sets!!!! I think they turned out pretty cute and will make fun "toppers" on Christmas cards!
