style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pPFkT7EfHFk/TqcrBIKe-LI/AAAAAAAAJ9E/QVri_MjBFFs/s1600/R0014443.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;The theme this week on the &lt;a href="http://panpasteluk.blogspot.com/"&gt;Panpastel UK Blog Challenge&lt;/a&gt; is 'Glitter and Glitz'. I struggled a bit as I couldn't find any of my 50's toppers with glitzy ladies on it, yes my craft corner is like Narnia...never ending, ha ha !&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;So this huge Stampin' Up stamp came to the rescue and I also used the dotted one to make a fun and glitzy background. The ribbon was a good match I thought.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;If you don't know what &lt;a href="http://www.yourcreativitystore.com/categories/PanPastel/"&gt;Panpastels&lt;/a&gt; are, where have you been ? I used three shades to colour the flower and used a fixative so the colours stayed put.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I hope you can join the challenge you have up to Sunday to have fun creating something with glitter &amp;amp; glitz.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;So pleased how this card turned out, I had this idea brewing in my head and I knew I could use my old trusted Xyron Personal Cutter (the fisher price of die-cutting machines) and cut the petals using some leftovers paper and brown packing kraft paper.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I urge you to visit the &lt;a href="http://panpasteluk.blogspot.com/"&gt;Panpastel UK blog challenge&lt;/a&gt; as you can see all the other wonderful creations of my DT panpastel mates. Incidentallly if you wish to partake using these lovely pastels just get your browser to this UK retailer : &lt;a href="http://www.yourcreativitystore.com/categories/PanPastel/"&gt;Your Creativity Store&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I used the panpastel to create the shadow on the edge of the card and the petals to give them dimension. I find pastels easier to use than ink funnily enough so I'm totally sold for shading. You need to use fixative though as it's very pigment rich and I tend to be a mucky crafter so, a quick spray will avoid happy accidents :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1128823106880006152-544897100043947394?l=craftingmad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;New Beginnings indeed, that's what happened to me back in 1991 when I moved to the UK, namely London. Life has never beens so sweet and I never looked back. Hence my Twinings tea box salvage. Panpastel was invaluable to stain the edge of the lid. I used decopatch glue and glitter glue plus London papers and poxy stickers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So don't forget to check out the &lt;a href="http://panpasteluk.blogspot.com/"&gt;Panpastel UK Challenge Blog&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;as this week's theme is 'New Beginnings'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q4dU5sWWco4/TomyN1DD_hI/AAAAAAAAJ8A/Q9j7iZ9pkaE/s1600/twiningsbox.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q4dU5sWWco4/TomyN1DD_hI/AAAAAAAAJ8A/Q9j7iZ9pkaE/s320/twiningsbox.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I had so much fun making this and was showing step by step on my Facebook so for those of you who want to subscribe to my &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/fabyon"&gt;Facebook feed&lt;/a&gt;, you're more than welcome, I post all my crafty things update publicly so you don't have to add me as a friend if you don't want to, just hit the subscribe button.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;After I covered the box in white decopatch basecoast I was ready to add the nice funky paper from ....yep you guessed it decopatch but not before I added the panpastel red colour to the lid.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dz1ls80O_bk/TomyMd20etI/AAAAAAAAJ74/sVoS8JyOwIU/s1600/twiningsboxwithdecopatchglitterandpanpastel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dz1ls80O_bk/TomyMd20etI/AAAAAAAAJ74/sVoS8JyOwIU/s320/twiningsboxwithdecopatchglitterandpanpastel.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I really enjoyed creating this box and that made a change from my card making. So what are your new beginnings creations like ?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;On one of my previous post '&lt;a href="http://craftingmad.blogspot.com/2011/09/now-that-im-blogging-writing-more-about.html"&gt;Now that I'm bloggin...&lt;/a&gt;' the lovely Lindsay Mason left me a comment about her frustration with people who don't get handmade cards. I leave you to pop to that post to see her comment but in a nutshell someone told her 'Why would I make a card if I can just easily buy one from the shop for 1 pound (dear American friends just read 1 buck).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I totally understand where Lindsay is coming from and I commented that we're losing the appreciation of the slight imperfection yet beautifully crafted and heartfelt outputs artisans and crafters alike have been producing for generations.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I coined this new term of Ikea-ism, where everything is perfectly designed, mass produced and basically even if they make you believe that you're buying a unique 'individual' lifestyle, well we end up owning all the same stuff and our homes are starting to look the same.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Memories of going to my Italian grandmother's house are still fresh and seeing some objets d'Art she used to buy from local artisans in her various trips around the 'boots'. I use to envy their uniqueness and their extra value because there was also a story or a funny anecdote attached to these mementos which my gran always relished telling at length.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I don't have anything against Ikea but it's obvious that unless the person operating the till was extremely amusing or chatty, you just know you bought that decoration because it might match and that's that...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Now what about card making ? Why is it that some people are so incensed to receive a handmade card believing we are being cheap or we couldn't be bothered to go down the store ? I tend to go for the 'once bitten, twice shy' attitude with them, once I know they don't appreciate they get the cheapo card and I don't even try to explain to them that the material alone I used for my cardmaking is well above what one pays in any of those mass produced cards in stores.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cutetape.com/shop/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/400x288/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/h/a/handmadebarcode.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="286" src="http://www.cutetape.com/shop/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/400x288/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/h/a/handmadebarcode.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Handmade Stamp from &lt;a href="http://www.cutetape.com/shop/handmade-crystal-stamp-ver-2-barcode-series.html"&gt;CuteTape.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;One of my relatives who shall remain nameless is like that and doesn't get it. I remember putting a fake barcode on one of my cards a few years back and for a split second this person was pleased as punch I 'bought' the card. It was hilarious when the deceit was uncovered and the praises for the card were actually for me, not an unknown manufacturer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I thoroughly enjoyed reading this short blog post from Heaven '&lt;a href="http://www.homeeconomicsblog.com/2011/02/store-bought-cards-are-ugly-anyway.html"&gt;Store bought cards are ugly anyway&lt;/a&gt;'. Obviously I don't mind at all receiving shop bought greeting cards as not everyone is a card maker.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;But please people out there when you receive a card which isn't a folded piece of cardboard which was printed by a press and instead you receive something that is lovingly hand stamped, or layered with different papers, ribbons etc.. Don't turn up your nose at it: someone took the time to give you that extra 'I care about you' spending their time making you a unique, not to be repeated card. And that's worth more than ugly barcodes of shop bought ones...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;According to this CNN article ' &lt;a href="http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/09/26/hallmark-is-sorry-for-your-loss-your-job-loss/?hpt=hp_c2"&gt;Hallmark is sorry for your loss - your job loss&lt;/a&gt; ' the manufacturer feel there's a demand for this type of card. They will start rolling out 'Job Loss' themed greeting cards in most of their stores pretty soon.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I'm in two minds about this type of cards as it can be seen as insensitive if you were to send this sort of greetings, like if it were a joke and it could be taken the wrong way by the recipient. Having said that, if it's a close friend and you want to let them know you're there for them, I guess that could be a nice friendship token.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;What worries me is that people seem to need 'pre-fabricated' feelings on cards so that they don't have to deal with the person feelings and avoid the interaction. I'm not saying that people are avoiding some issues just sending off a card for any occasions but I feel there's a tendency of having a plethora of cookie-cut cards that will do the job and that's that.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Sending greeting cards are felt differently and the customs varies between cultures for example being half Italian, I found it very strange being handed a Christmas cards by my colleagues at work as cards are sent when you cannot give the greetings personally to your friends, family or in this instance by your co-workers. In Italy, greeting cards are only used as a last recourse if you know you can't contact your loved ones so it's reminder that you're thinking about them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;In the UK because of the huge Victorian tradition of sending cards someone just needs to sneeze and they will receive a greeting cards....only joking ! I know I'm&amp;nbsp;exaggerating&amp;nbsp;but I find it really nice that people want to let their loved ones and close friends that you're thinking about them sending a card.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Now as a cardmaker I can create my own themes to suit any occasions but I wouldn't personally write as a sentiment 'Sorry for your job loss', personally a 'I'm there for you' or 'Thinking of you' would make a more sensitive and sensible card to give to a recently jobless friend or family member.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;So what do you think ? Is it a step too far to send greetings about losing one's job ? Do you feel when you go into greeting cards stores that they overwhelm you with too many occasions and not enough variety for the main ones: birthdays, wedding, anniversary etc... ? &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1128823106880006152-1373104938361042632?l=craftingmad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;For those of you who don't already know, I was selected to be part of the new Design Team (DT for short) for &lt;a href="http://panpasteluk.blogspot.com/"&gt;Panpastel&lt;/a&gt;. My excitement turned into panic when I realised:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;I haven't used pastel much in the past (apart from using pastel pencils)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I'm not an artist, I know how to assemble elements and hope that it will look good enough to make a decent card but that's about it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I didn't have any clue where to look to see what other crafters were using them with...&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;Now, I thought let me look at the manufacturer in the States and the site was very thorough and lead me to a few videos on youtube. This was great because I tend to forget about youtube and how it's chocoblock full of demos etc. It's kinda a visual smorgasbord of anything from funnies to music videos...and also cardmakers/scrapbookers sharing their love of paper crafting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I also did a search on Hubpages (where I wrote a few &lt;a href="http://stampinwithfab.hubpages.com/"&gt;articles about cardmaking&lt;/a&gt; myself) I really like that resource site as the quality of the article is usually very high. I wasn't disappointed; a few artists were showing how they were using panpastel and how to go about it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I finally started to search on Google but as I feared it was full of retailers selling the stuff instead of how to use them etc... Obviously I need to modify my keyword search and this is where you come in helping me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are you favourite keywords to find how to use new techniques ?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What are your favourite sites apart from Google and Blog Google to take you to interesting finds ?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do you use only manufacturers website or even online retailers to see how to use some new mediums you never came across before ?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Please leave your thoughts and comments I'd really like to see how you go about it ?&lt;br /&gt;

(how grown up!!!)</title><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IJGw444hWEU/Tn_ZE7MDaqI/AAAAAAAAJ7Q/T-GyF6LWtAc/s1600/R0013720.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IJGw444hWEU/Tn_ZE7MDaqI/AAAAAAAAJ7Q/T-GyF6LWtAc/s640/R0013720.JPG" width="422" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;On my previous post I explained how I'm going to use this blog as my sounding board and express myself as a crafter with mental health issues. It might not be everyone's cup of tea but as I said there are 7 other blogs of mine if you only want to see cards without my 'dross'. I almost had an epiphany when I read this blog post from Christie '&lt;a href="http://www.bloomingwildflowers.com/2010/02/getting-passionate-about-my-blog.html"&gt;Getting passionate about your blog&lt;/a&gt;'. She talks about a mission statement for your own blog.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Now to me it sounds all grown up and very corporate but I do understand where she's coming from (she mentions a few resources about blogging that seem very interesting so do check out her blog). I believe what Christie means is the personal mission statement or in my case: what's this all about, Fab ?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;And it suddenly dawned on me that it's all about sharing my personal experience as a paper crafters: the many self-doubts, moments of 'I'm going to pack it all in' extremes, the daily quest of sorting the paper craft stash in a practical way ( I started to tidy up my corner and it's still work in progress after a week).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;So be prepared this is about card making, papers (and cuts) ...hopefully with less despair. I hope I'll make your smile more than cower thinking that I'm totally nuts ! LOL So fasten your&amp;nbsp;seat-belts&amp;nbsp;because it's going to be me warts and all. I started this blog back in 2007 just to share my cards that I've made but now I feel confident enough to share a little of me for posterity.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I came across these bloggers' posts who have read the same post from Christie and decided to give it a go at explaining to their readership and themselves what their blog's direction might be:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://modernsophist.com/what-is-this-website-about-you-help-decide/"&gt;What is this website about ? You help decide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://wss-scrapbook.blogspot.com/2010/07/is-this-newbie-blog.html"&gt;Is this a Newbie blog ?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://radioactivecats.blogspot.com/2010/08/mission-statement-for-my-blog-hmmmmm.html"&gt;A mission statement for my blog ?? Hmmmmm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://vent09.blogspot.com/2010/08/my-blog-mission-possible.html"&gt;My blog : Mission Impossible&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://beemiddle.blogspot.com/2011/09/does-your-blog-have-missionhat-dein.html"&gt;Does your blog have a mission ?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://knittingjourneymanredux.blogspot.com/2010/03/my-passions-revealed.html"&gt;My passions, revealed&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;So what's your own 'mission statement', in a nutshell why have you started a blog (if any) ?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;You're probably wondering why I write more about myself and how I feel recently. Well it's because I thought this blog of mine needed a new direction. I have 7 other blogs (listed on the right hand side) about different niche of card making, although I'm still featuring cards on this one too it's going to be also about me and how I feel about the card making process and my daily life. I won't write everyday but when I feel like I need to express myself and use this blog as a sounding board I will do so.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Something spurred this soul searching I discovered a blog through seededbuzz (google it, wink) and I felt like that post was talking to me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Ginger (The Seamstress of Avalon) is sharing how her mother's depression affected and how she has to cope with it now. In her own words '...&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://seamstressofavalon.blogspot.com/2010/05/in-fog.html"&gt;I had always felt that being in any kind of pain and letting it show was a sign of weakness that others would despise me for&lt;/a&gt; '... and it's kinda how it felt in my own family too. I had to look inward and show total indifference as a coping mechanism during my teenage years. Music was my saviour then and discovered years later when I was diagnosed with bi-polarism that most manic-depressive need something to distract them (some of those distractions are disruptives, I'm glad I picked music).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I've been card making for a few years now and I noticed that most crafters use this hobby as coping/healing distraction to their disabilities either physical or mental. I also realise that most of them are very vulnerable to criticism (me included) and we tend to kinda jump the gun. I guess in my case when I have one of those 'foggy' days I need just to craft and ignore what happens around me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;It's no easy and I don't have a magic solution, some days I'm capable to cope with some know downs and not being able to craft, others I feel super sensitive yet I can craft for England so to speak. I'm sure that makes an interesting individual albeit very erratic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Ruth Weal has a &lt;a href="http://wealie.co.uk/news-views/my-blog/dealing-with-depression/"&gt;five steps resource for dealing with depression&lt;/a&gt; on her blog and as she mentions that's what works for her. As for directing your energies and &lt;a href="http://www.sugarfilledemotions.com/2010/07/creative-depression/"&gt;dealing with your own creative depression&lt;/a&gt;, Melissa Shell opens up with her own view about it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I hope you can ride through the wave as I like to call it when I feel well enough to paper craft !&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Confession of a card maker !</title><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lightbox-photos.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/qh1Guq5oSrSzWhdmchAsVQ_lrg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://lightbox-photos.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/qh1Guq5oSrSzWhdmchAsVQ_lrg.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;So the big questions is... What do you do with your leftovers bits when paper crafting ?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I, personally, can't bear to part with even the most minuscule leftovers ( I know 'sad' ) but there's a method in my madness: I always believe that they can be useful for Artist Trading Cards (commonly referred as ATC). As you can see from the pictures I use small plastic containers to store them or plastic bags even worse I stuff them into cellophane bags meant for the cards I make. It's an illness !&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Are you ruthless (and if so can you 'cure' me ? lol ) with your bits and offcuts ? How do you manage your ever mounting stash of papers ? And the most difficult question to answer is what is the smallest allowable size of paper you can keep: 2X2 square inch can always be used for a topper as a mat...but then 1 inch is also good for an 'inchie' (minuscule art form &amp;nbsp;for the very patient). I despair of my sorting indecisions so when in doubt I keep everything. I need serious help !&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I need your input, how do you cope are you like me saving every single piece ? Or once you've taken your scissors to a nice 12X12 sheet of paper, you just trash/bin what's left (oh the agony) ?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;What's your practical side telling you that isn't working with me ?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Please help !&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Signed&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;A hopeless hoarder (who's still tidying up his craft corner after 4 days of moving stash from A to B) LOL&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1128823106880006152-2214248331025436441?l=craftingmad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I'm very excited to tell you that I'm part of a very talented team of crafters for Panpastel. Their weekly challenge for the UK market is starting tomorrow (Sunday Sept 25th) and this is my contribution for this weeks' challenge. You can see more infos on their blog :&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://panpasteluk.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://panpasteluk.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;You can also purchase the panpastel in the UK at 'Your Creativity Store'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.yourcreativitystore.com/categories/PanPastel/"&gt;http://www.yourcreativitystore.com/categories/PanPastel/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Now I've been playing with them and will make a full demo live in one of my future craft webcasts on &lt;a href="http://papermood.com/"&gt;papermood.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;please check the fanpage on Facebook for when this will happen. &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/papermood"&gt;Papermood on Facebook&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Here's another picture where I've started to play with these panpastels, they're very light and high in pigment they have almost no binders and a little goes a long way. Also they have almost no dust residue when using them. &amp;nbsp;The clever tools that you should use with them are sponges specifically created for a velvety application. I simply love them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZJqpKQvOmjU/Tn1AAeCg9-I/AAAAAAAAJ68/ubdnnVtFDcU/s1600/R0014382.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZJqpKQvOmjU/Tn1AAeCg9-I/AAAAAAAAJ68/ubdnnVtFDcU/s400/R0014382.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I received a 9 colours and the applicators from the lovely Berni at Panpastel UK but I was so persuaded by their practicality and ease of use that I purchased 3 more colours to expand my palette.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I've been trying with a few techniques and I'm enjoying them. Please watch this space or my other &lt;a href="http://www.kimtag.com/fabrizio"&gt;card making craft blogs&lt;/a&gt; to see how I've used Panpastel.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1128823106880006152-3523440156232614614?l=craftingmad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Well I never thought I would be featured on the &lt;a href="http://letrasetblog.com/craft/hey-crafters-guys-use-promarkers-too/"&gt;Letraset blog&lt;/a&gt;, but I have to thank the super kawaii &lt;a href="http://limegreenbogiegirl.blogspot.com/"&gt;Kirsty Wiseman&lt;/a&gt; to have set up the mini interview asking me questions. So thank you Kirsty I'm still pinching myself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I got this Kanban ultra cute stamp set 'Special Moments' for Vince but I soon got hold of it and played with my &lt;a href="http://letraset.com/"&gt;promarkers&lt;/a&gt;. You can get &lt;a href="http://www.foilplay.co.uk/default.aspx?cat=54"&gt;Kanban stamps at Foilplay&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I used the gorge &lt;a href="http://brendapinnickfanaticscardscrapbooking.blogspot.com/"&gt;Brenda Pinnick&lt;/a&gt; papers, Stampin Up sentiment and punch for the frame and faux class book edge. Some wool from stash completed the card, I also used some &lt;a href="http://ihearthotoffthepress.blogspot.com/"&gt;Hot Off the Press&lt;/a&gt; Dazzles (little holographic dots in the middle of the flowers)&lt;br /&gt;

I had so much fun today at &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_205381339477144"&gt;Come2Chat&lt;/a&gt; demoing how I coloured &lt;a href="http://craftymomentscardmaking.blogspot.com/2011/05/poor-kitty-digi-stamp.html"&gt;Vince's latest digi stamp&lt;/a&gt; using promarkers ! I was a bit worried that seeing me colouring in would be like watching paint dry but I did fairly quickly and didn't finish the image as the time was up ! It was fun and I enjoyed myself ! :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Supplies are promarkers, Bella Blvd 'Honey I'm Home' papers, a paper clip from Stampin' Up and the punches to create the heart and scalloped square, also a crimper from stash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm still learning how to colour in if you want to see how the real professional do it then visit &lt;a href="http://meeshsplace.blogspot.com/"&gt;Meesh's blog&lt;/a&gt;, you won't regret it ! Her &lt;a href="http://meeshsplace.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-coloring-with-promarkers-tutorial.html#links"&gt;promarkers tutorial&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is an eye opener !&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;div class="zemanta-related"&gt;&lt;h6 class="zemanta-related-title" style="font-size: 1em; margin: 1em 0 0 0;"&gt;Related articles&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;ul class="zemanta-article-ul"&gt;&lt;li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"&gt;&lt;a href="http://halloweencardmaking.blogspot.com/2011/05/3d-halloween-card-our-first-challenge.html" target="_blank"&gt;3D Halloween Card - Our First Challenge !&lt;/a&gt; (halloweencardmaking.blogspot.com)&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I'm always there on Monday and Wednesday at noon (Eastern) and we've having fun just chatting and showing what we're up to craft wise. Everyone is welcome to drop in and if you have a webcam you're encouraged to show us your latest craft creations as I find other people's work of heart, so inspiring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a card I did during my 'Card Under an Hour' spot each Wednesday, I use Claudine Hellmuth 'Scrapbooker Creativity Kit' and people in the chat room pick a number and a draw some coloured cards and themes to spur a card making session by myself...it's very daunting every time because I never know what I'm going to get and if I have the right supplies etc...to match the colour and theme picked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last Wednesday I was lucky as the colour drawn was an olive green so I went for my Stampin' Up Old Olive cardstock pack and the theme was Wind so there was a mini picture of a pinwheel so I thought why not I found the perfect paper for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a lot of fun and I'd love you to join in next Wednesday at Noon (&lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Time_Zone" rel="wikipedia" title="Eastern Time Zone"&gt;Eastern Time&lt;/a&gt;) and chit-chat with everyone in the room. It's very informal and we alway end talking about other things so it's not strictly craft.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;div class="zemanta-related"&gt;&lt;h6 class="zemanta-related-title" style="font-size: 1em; margin: 1em 0 0 0;"&gt;Related articles&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;ul class="zemanta-article-ul"&gt;&lt;li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ihearthotoffthepress.blogspot.com/2011/03/birthday-greeting-card-under-hour.html"&gt;Birthday Greeting Card 'Under an Hour' - Come2Chat Quick Challenge&lt;/a&gt; (ihearthotoffthepress.blogspot.com)&lt;/li&gt;

Oh la la.....what a lovely set of designs from Craftwork cards, I used it with Ranger's Tim Holtz inks to just fade them a bit. Then used my triple embossing faux acetate technique. Coloured in, then black plus white on top. Off-setting the image !&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;As promised here's another card made using the Banners4all and Cake2Build stamp sets from '&lt;a href="http://www.stephaniebarnardstamps.com/"&gt;Stamps of Life&lt;/a&gt;'.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I used a patterned paper from Craftwork Cards and I do like the pink hues and vintage roses motifs of those papers. I made also another card but sent it before taking a picture of it !

&lt;div&gt;I'm loving these stamps set from Stephanie Barnard's '&lt;a href="http://www.stephaniebarnardstamps.com/"&gt;Stamps of Life&lt;/a&gt;' I got the Banners4all &amp;nbsp;and Cake2Build set to create two lovely cards (the other one will be showing tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do like simple and understated cards. As the eyes focus on the main element. The embossing just gives a subtle touch to frame the two elements (bunting and sentiment).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Hello everyone ! :) This is the card I made for my 'Card under an hour' challenge on &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_205381339477144"&gt;Come2Chat&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm a permanent fixture on their weekly show (Thank you Cynthia) so I'll be doing all sort of paper craft on Monday at Noon Eastern Time / 5pm UK &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Summer_Time" rel="wikipedia" title="British Summer Time"&gt;BST&lt;/a&gt; and on Wednesday same time but with my 'Card under an hour' challenge where I use the 'Scrabpooker's Creativity Kit!' from Claudine Hellmuth to jump start my creativity to make card right under your eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now this is the room link to get to Come2Chat (Monday / Wednesday / Friday at Noon Eastern);&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Another great challenge from &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_205381339477144"&gt;Come2Chat&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="http://creativeedventures.wordpress.com/"&gt;Creative Edventures&lt;/a&gt;), this week it was using a piece of cardboard or corrugated board. I used the box, Charlie Bear came in and recycled it making a pencil case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I had this lovely decoupage pad from My Mind's Eye, Bloom &amp;amp; Grow and it's full of lovely flowers etc.. but tucked in almost hidden these &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arts_and_crafts" rel="wikipedia" title="Arts and crafts"&gt;art and craft&lt;/a&gt; like blooms where screaming to be used.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I've covered the cardboard with decopatch glue and let it dry which makes it very shiny and stiff. Easy to apply then the die-cuts toppers from that pad to complete the look some old metallic brads from Making Memories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally I thought it would be cool to use some hemp string across the two elements inside the flap that something I purchased from Stampin' Up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope you can join us in our new challenge next Monday, you need to make something out of a CD or Cd case and should be useful for a Party.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_205381339477144"&gt;Come2Chat&lt;/a&gt; have set up a challenge in using TP roll(s) but I cheated as I used an inner kitchen paper tube. Same thing though. I created the main tree with it and the branches. All done using some glue, My Mind's Eye papers Bloom &amp;amp; Grow and Decopatch glue.&lt;br /&gt;

Happy Valentine's day everyone ! &amp;nbsp;I hope you're having a fabulous and romantic day today !&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I made this card from the lovely &lt;a href="http://foilplay.co.uk/default.aspx?item=PKB7"&gt;Patchwork Kingdom 'Love &amp;amp; Anniversary'&lt;/a&gt; 3D decoupage sheet I got from Gill at f&lt;a href="http://oilplay.co.uk/"&gt;oilplay.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I used DCWV textured cardstock and HOTP turquoise flock with the double sided sticky heart borders. Trusted Fiskars plastic template with cutter for the big heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The card is a whopping 7X10 inches ! :)&lt;br /&gt;
