HELLO MARCH

Beginning a new month of blog posts and as I sit here I am trying to wrap my head around the fact that we are officially 5 days in. So many things have been going on in general, and every day feels like a mountain climb. Spring is supposed to be on the horizon, yet currently where I live we are sitting in the midst of another extreme cold polar vortex. The relentless nature of life is something else!

To offset this unpredictable and lion like arrival of March, I have been channeling my energy into cultivating whatever I can to spark some joy and get busy. I find having busy hands equates to a much more productive and positive busy mind. So I am on a mission daily to do just that!

SPRING STAMP BOOT CAMP

I have just launched my newest stamping class which is a 15 style prompt/challenge based class.

I have been feeling the need to get busy. To renew and refresh stamp sets that have been sitting in my stash and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity.

The classroom opened today, March 5th and over the next several weeks we will be exploring the following prompts and creating pieces with them:

PROMPT 1: Flowers

PROMPT 2: Grids (March 7)

PROMPT 3: Journal Cards (March 9)

PROMPT 4: Butterflies (March 11)

PROMPT 5: Alphabet (March 13)

PROMPT 6: Seasons (March 15)

PROMPT 7: Circles (March 17)

PROMPT 8: Textures (March 19)

PROMPT 9: Numbers (March 21)

PROMPT 10: Travel (March 23)

PROMPT 11: Celebration (March 25)

PROMPT 12: Stars + Sparkle (March 26)

PROMPT 13: Hearts (March 27)

PROMPT 14: Quoted (March 28)

PROMPT 15: Here + Now (March 29)

The first lesson and prompt "FLOWERS" is in the classroom now. It is a great lesson on learning to compile, build, explore and create with floral elements.

BALLOONS, BANNERS + BIRTHDAY CAKE

March officially kicks off "birthday season" in my family, so needless to say I was inspired and ready to get busy diving into all of my birthday stamps and tools to create some makes. I ended up turning a personal creative feat into a class which has so many unique and basic makes to learn from and re create over and over again.

This was such a fun class to put together and I know you are going to love this one, especially if you adore making cards.

You can read more about the lessons here!

Thank you for giving my blog a quick read today! I appreciate you and your time.

I know life is crazy, feeling crazy and sometimes we feel like we just do not know which end is up.

Just remember, you are doing better than you think! We all are.

Connection, creativity + community.

SO thankful for that.
