Zigzag Card

I trotted off to a craft stamping group yesterday and was surprised to hear it's been around six months since I last attended. I know I went into hiding at the end of last year but hadn't realised it had been quite that long. Time flies way too quickly as I age.

Anyway, I had the opportunity to craft away with a project set by someone else. There were two different styles of cards for the day but whereas most of the group finished both, I barely even made one. Not even half of one.

By the time I came to pack up and go home, I had cut out the black card pieces and the white ones and completed the tallest doodled design. That was all.

So this morning, I endeavoured to finish it off by doodling the remaining six pieces and sticking all the individual component together, to finish up with a ZigZag card.

It might not have taken so long if I hadn't tried to be so clever, by continuing with my doodling spree of recent. I love that the group's projects allow you to interpret and create in a way of your choosing but this can be my downfall. Whilst others merrily stamped and inked away, finishing both cards, I was sat with pen in hand and straining eyes. When will I learn to take my reading glasses around with me?

However, I'm pleased with how it's turned out and I feel the time invested was worth it.

Right, I will finish up, as I am off to shop for some treats for tomorrow night's dinner (with a detour to the less-than-romantic dump). Nick & I will be celebrating 15 years together. As it lands on a Monday and restaurants more usually close that evening, we are going to dine in. Therefore, goodies need purchasing.

Until next time, hope you enjoy the remains of the weekend.
