Leave a comment

Welcome to my Corner of the World

For the last 5 – 6 years I have designed and enjoyed making my flip over desk calendar for the ladies who came to my classes.  As I have done for the last few years I am going to be sharing one at the start of each month. Like last year, I recognize not everyone is into making 3D items so have created a card for each month, using elements from the calendar for that month and included a video to show how I went about making the card.

So today I share 2 versions, a July 4th for my American friends and a pretty bee for my friends in the rest of the world!

Welcome to my Corner of the World
