Creating Cards: Third Blog

My 20 x project has been coming along very well! During the last four day weekend, I made a few Easter cards for my immediate family and friends. This was actually a lot harder than I thought is was going to be, but the experience was definitely worth it! It surprised me how long it took me to make each individual card, and I had a hard time coming up with what I was going to write in each card (which I expected to be the easier part). I've definitely learned how to be more creative and I'm learning how to pair unique designs with various techniques that I've learned.

Moving forward I hope to acquire new techniques and build on my skills. Right now I have a mentor that's a close family friend and she does a lot of crafts and paintings. However, I have also sent an email to Michaels craft store about possibly getting someone to mentor me that knows a little more about designing cards, but I am still waiting for a reply. If I'm not able to get a reply, plan B is to possibly go to one of the tutorial classes that Michaels hosts once a month. I think I would benefit from taking this class and I am definitely giving it a lot of consideration!

I'm excited for what's to come and I hope to keep moving forward on my journey.
