I keep ‘finding’ boxes and boxes of stuff for paper crafting. I thought I had everything sorted out and put away neatly, but I had the feeling I was missing some things and then today I remembered that I had six more boxes in my ‘Room of Requirement’ that hold stuff I used for making 3D cards and for making ATC’s (I only did ATC’s back in 2011, so that’s how long they have been standing there untouched).

Also, I had fun yesterday and today stamping with some new stamps I bought and then coloring in some of the stamped images with gel pens and colored pencils. They will of course go into Happy Mail!

I had one of those ultra realistic dreams last night about this craftalong :laughing: I had to scroll back through the thread to see if it was a dream or a memory :joy: In the dream I asked for some September theme ideas for the next poll and offered some ideas of my own… :thinking:

So I’m going to make my dream a reality! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Post here or message me with your September theme ideas!

Here are some of mine:

  • September Spelling Bee
  • Spectacular September
  • September Sunrise
  • Something Special in September
  • September Singalong

It’s back to school here so I propose that! I’d love to make teacher/student cards.

I have just a few more to finish and mail off for this batch. I finally crafted on theme, yay! But for the August Tea theme because I figured if I sent now I might have a hope of things arriving on time. The way the mail is going these days though… lol.


For the masterboard envelops I just put the address on the other side which is blank. I thought that would be less confusing for sorting and also save the pretty part for future crafting!
