But as grown-ups, the thrill often fades. Until now. I decided to try artist advent calendars this year, and it was a game-changer. Check out the video where I open all the surprises at once – pure joy!</p><p>No more cheap chocolates; this time, it's a beautifully crafted, oddly shaped box with artistic treasures behind each door. The excitement was contagious, and I'm now gifting some pieces to my favorite watercolorist. Can you guess which ones? Let me know in the comments!</p><p>Worth it? Absolutely. The Arteza's artist advent calendar not only revived the childhood magic but also came with sweet coupons for future buys. If you're curious about adding a dash of creativity to your December, this might be the way to go.

Join us on this journey as we witness the magic of blending the small-scale with the grand to create a truly magnificent masterpiece.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Artist Trading Cards, or ATCs, have become a beloved form of artistic expression, providing a canvas of 2.5 by 3.5 inches for creators to showcase their talents. In this unique venture, let's focus singular card, exploring the challenge of expanding its impact onto a larger canvas.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Often, the prospect of working on a larger canvas can be intimidating, overwhelming even the most seasoned creators. By choosing to expand the essence of a singular ATC onto an 11x8 canvas, here we offer a unique perspective on how these miniature masterpieces can serve as stepping stones, helping artists overcome the initial hesitations associated with larger formats. This approach allows for a focused exploration of theme, style, and technique, providing a bridge between the intimate world of ATCs and the grander canvas of artistic expression.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The objective here is to elevate the intricate details of one card, turning it into a focal point within a larger canvas. This approach allows for an in-depth exploration of the chosen theme, style, and technique.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The transformation from a single ATC to an 11x8 canvas demands a thoughtful selection of materials and techniques. Sometimes we have to carefully navigate this process, experimenting with our mixed media, layering, and replacing items that are not available in the size or style we need to ensure the enlarged canvas complements the original card.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Gain insights into the decision-making process, from adhesive choices to color schemes, as we bring our vision to life.

For the crafter, yes, we want to sell our things and make a profit, but I really enjoy meeting the people at the show. It's all very reminiscent of a small town. They are willing to help. I've seen people help others set up their tents. If you've forgotten something, they'll share. Or send a customer to their neighbor if they don't have what they need. They'll even watch your area while you hit the restroom. </p><p>As a consumer, I love seeing how many talented people there are in my area. I sometimes meet like-minded people whom I would have never met had I not ventured out to the show. I'm happy to spend my dollars at their tables instead of going online to purchase gifts or items I might want. I'm helping support a family by buying the item. </p><p>Yes, there are some things I don't need or want, but I like visiting with the crafter. The one thing I don't like as a shopper is a vendor who tries to sell things just to sell them. You know the one who, when you touch something at their table, it's a conversation about that item, how many colors it comes in, the sizes, and if you try to be nice and just acknowledge them, it's a big sales pitch. UGH. Cannot tolerate that I might wander away as quickly as possible. The crafter's table with a big crowd is nice to wander over because then you can really look at what the person has without being pounced on. </p><p>Of course, we don't want to approach the vendor who looks like this is their worst day ever, and they are unhappy to be there. So there has to be that happy medium. It takes a vendor who can read their viewer and know what approach to take with each. Does the person want to be engaged, or just let them browse? It's so difficult to read people anymore. I suggest just waiting for eye contact and saying a nice hello. Thanks for stopping by. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have; just let me know. Then leave them to it. </p><p>Almost every craft fair I attend has a fundraising component to it. Some of the proceeds go to a specific group, like an animal shelter, food bank, etc. Our monthly craft fair raises funds for local charities and non-profits. The people that show up there are really friendly and kind. But our attendance is low at the moment. I expect it will grow like the others; it's for a good cause. Each month a different organization benefits from the donations. </p><p>The nice thing is a representative from the organization usually stops by or shows up for a while, which is always nice to see. It sort of validates the fact that the funds are going where the show said it's going.</p>Maryanne Motthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01986510180701381055noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412450166293161110.post-60349586148803713342023-01-10T11:06:00.001-08:002023-01-10T11:06:10.274-08:00First Sunday craft fair of 2023<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"> You can find pictures at </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://maryannescreativemix.blogspot.com/">https://maryannescreativemix.blogspot.com/</a> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">I am dedicating that blog to only my crafts for the crafts fair. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Here will be all my other arts-n-crafts.

See, It is ridiculous we make so many things that really should stand out, but if you are not thoughtful in the setup, they all can get lost, and nothing really stands out. <div><br /></div><div>So what should one do? I was thinking of just putting some items into a bin and having one or two samples sitting outside the bin to get attention. The idea is to get people to pass by and look. Having something catch their eye. The Purse Pal wallets were all in one bin, and they did get noticed.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>It seems to me I should also present some items so that ideas of what to use them for are apparent. Sometimes I don't think people know how to use the bags. Some things are obvious, like cosmetics, but I bet you didn't see the pencil cases. I had a whole stack of them in the picture. </div><div><br /></div><div>If I put the pencil cases on a book which is how they were intended to be used, they might spark some interest, and once people start to look, they notice other things. <br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Below are a few of my other setups at craft fairs. You might be interested in comparing them or critiquing them. I always enjoy seeing other crafters' setups and seeing if they have some ideas I could borrow. I don't think we should be gatekeepers with these things.</div><div><br /></div><div> Comment below and let me know what you think. For clarity, I have done many craft fairs; sometimes, I would only be able to get a small space, sometimes too large of one. I have made my own jewelry and was a member of different direct sales groups.

I went to Ft. Lowell Arts and Craft fair in April, which was okay but not great. That is the first fair I changed up from papercraft to sewn items. I have been working to build an inventory of worthy items to show since the end of last year. This show actually had a really good inventory.</p><p>It seems that some of what I made was a hit. I earned my table fee back, which is always a bonus and then some. I would not rely on craft fairs to sustain myself, but I did better at this one than ever at any shows. </p><p>Now, I have to account that I think there wasn't anyone else who had what I made or anything quite like it. Most of my items are gothic, witchy-type bags and such. Looking around the room, I saw jewelry, jams, candles, acrylic items, beaded hanging window decorations, customizable water bottles, painted rocks, and oils. All of which have a uniqueness in and of themselves. </p><p>The foot traffic came in from the hotel lobby and was more significant than I expected. I really didn't know what kind of advertising was done. Since we were right in the middle of the labor day holiday, I didn't expect much foot traffic to come into visit us. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi740BiUj0w7grbvZVuXz-JvRH4BZmTdeEYUHkrrESzQH7WSLwKe-nOZUeOFoPS5sojUPbKMhZJo4m8MT6ndNDGAb-ok-p6POiNUcd1JECJHUEuVQ7JvTZ14BQh5Kq_fNe6GT9RYXL5hdPbGbTzqHA2t8wu3sxCgArY1p759WxzrFRHUyEJLCUiPTS1/s4032/IMG_3374.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="349" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi740BiUj0w7grbvZVuXz-JvRH4BZmTdeEYUHkrrESzQH7WSLwKe-nOZUeOFoPS5sojUPbKMhZJo4m8MT6ndNDGAb-ok-p6POiNUcd1JECJHUEuVQ7JvTZ14BQh5Kq_fNe6GT9RYXL5hdPbGbTzqHA2t8wu3sxCgArY1p759WxzrFRHUyEJLCUiPTS1/w459-h349/IMG_3374.jpg" width="459" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I believe many people who did come in who weren't registered as hotel guests were actually friends and family of the crafters. Which is really a great way to get the party started. Unfortunately, some of the crafters didn't do well at all. It does take a significant amount of guests to generate a nice profit from craft fairs. </p><p>I didn't take a good video of everyone, but now I wish I had since I think it is a learning opportunity. I have been doing craft fairs since my early 20s, and I started doing Holiday fairs where everyone expects to see the same things. But in general, you have to have a very interesting setup that draws people to your table or a unique variety of items that no one else has. </p><p>They plan to have the fair every first Sunday of the month, so they will be set up for October, which I think is suited for my crafts, being the witchy woman I am. So I am considering doing that one. Hope to see you there. </p>Maryanne Motthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01986510180701381055noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412450166293161110.post-35005365813823411302022-08-28T10:23:00.001-07:002022-12-10T09:31:48.467-08:00September Craft Fair<p> <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">So what is the number one rule about being a vendor a Craft Fair? </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXyjo2nrCss4jbmbMAR2WHUMAGH7UVP3tMyERMUh4sj-cKnXqoe96KYD0bQTZrO6uICFaro1aiAfmp4tFIyphByxEJDI-dV4bQ4L5vOuVdAiI6jatdOX3dvz-lMTkNVaMNyowcN-aLn5vZXYejSCIF7Tfy_DgV4ASHezTZtNk1P94rcAjxFeew0CXH/s1600/flyerdesign_17082022_170738.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1300" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXyjo2nrCss4jbmbMAR2WHUMAGH7UVP3tMyERMUh4sj-cKnXqoe96KYD0bQTZrO6uICFaro1aiAfmp4tFIyphByxEJDI-dV4bQ4L5vOuVdAiI6jatdOX3dvz-lMTkNVaMNyowcN-aLn5vZXYejSCIF7Tfy_DgV4ASHezTZtNk1P94rcAjxFeew0CXH/w325-h400/flyerdesign_17082022_170738.png" width="325" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fall 2022</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;">Make sure they are established first. </div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">So, why am I attending this one?

I will update the blog on how it goes after the event. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The cost of a spot isn't that bad. When you consider some Fair organizers want over $150.00 to $250.00 and a white tent. It's worth my checking it out. One of the other crafters I know has been to this organizer's other events, and they did well. Which, in my mind, says it's worth a chance. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">2022 </span><span style="font-size: xx-large;">Our New Normal?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">See the photo for Lodge Fair 2022.

That isn't the best attitude for being a business person. Unfortunately, I have become more of an introvert after the lockdown and hiding in my craft room. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This craft fair was slow going and gave me an opportunity to go visit. Since I mostly buy my presents from my fellow artisans I could shop. It is better to have someone with you to watch your table. I don't have that advantage; honestly, the other crafters are very helpful in ensuring your table is covered while you hit the restroom or get a refreshment. This was a lovely gentle introduction back into the world for someone like me who can get rather panicky with too many people. Hopefully, we will get a better result at the next one.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span>one of my last events attended. <br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkGwuQTzzV1eGkwE_zZg2KSMCiOb7os0MK2QzOjvSxQsJRizkgoGgKbC6Vf4_1s-lZMgOY5LvpsBQ1i-WVFfSxfzfjrWaciFt6TqxRZ9bmJrSYwBpaDzJbxOxHN9_s-ejcBR7XpzIxCB_YoMTk_F_gIdqDJtrljuPq2wCUveVKcJ3AkpK_-4HwgkKj/s4618/IMG_20191026_091852380.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3464" data-original-width="4618" height="329" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkGwuQTzzV1eGkwE_zZg2KSMCiOb7os0MK2QzOjvSxQsJRizkgoGgKbC6Vf4_1s-lZMgOY5LvpsBQ1i-WVFfSxfzfjrWaciFt6TqxRZ9bmJrSYwBpaDzJbxOxHN9_s-ejcBR7XpzIxCB_YoMTk_F_gIdqDJtrljuPq2wCUveVKcJ3AkpK_-4HwgkKj/w438-h329/IMG_20191026_091852380.jpg" width="438" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Fall 2019</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span>The fall 2019 photo is the setup for a fair that was like a comic con for spooky stuff.

I can't really remember the year of this fair. It was the first time I attended the craft fair at Faith Tabernacle Church. As you can see, my booth was very tiny, but it was the first time at that location. I was trying to keep my chocolate from being in the sun. As you can see, I couldn't avoid the sun at all. The organizer has had a spring and fall fair and it has grown tremendously.

Cause I do a mix of things always have. </div><div><a aria-label="Photo - Landscape - Oct 26, 2019, 9:18:52 AM" class="p137Zd" href="https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipPIfhDcEw1shZo0j-r4VOhlB53_G2WDxD1Ngaww" jsaction="click:eQuaEb;focus:AHmuwe; blur:O22p3e;" tabindex="0"><div class="RY3tic" data-latest-bg="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ9OZZAn85-28ZLugoaMDUGVSnh9qvQh2LDCxgQX7sC81LLAlMGybj_3eqWuqVu69JbePyJPRbV5ReYhW_2uGo7bkkDH1c2aWVNzgYjjSj0DGhncbHOCzCXyNhGoWd2lbdkAUCF5AoMSE/w293-h220-no/?authuser=0" style="background-image: url("https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ9OZZAn85-28ZLugoaMDUGVSnh9qvQh2LDCxgQX7sC81LLAlMGybj_3eqWuqVu69JbePyJPRbV5ReYhW_2uGo7bkkDH1c2aWVNzgYjjSj0DGhncbHOCzCXyNhGoWd2lbdkAUCF5AoMSE/w293-h220-no/?authuser=0"); opacity: 1;"><div aria-hidden="true" class="eGiHwc"></div></div></a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj92ZyqitI9wc74swNdDtoKS3VWVJwAI96QvnqizwQZtBp6LkrDpw2_ETtbE5UFtrx36ZOujKrMxIS5qqdmd8d8PAVHRdtLDMX5uew5t_E0rP90Nu8Aa8nGCNO-9WhjEeOIo3Ax1NALcXHzrKJqZ_04FKFM9gBu8G6IsCGFWPPRL9fHjSvkP9K7RFmj/s4618/IMG_20191116_101648526.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="outdoor craft tent" border="0" data-original-height="3464" data-original-width="4618" height="126" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj92ZyqitI9wc74swNdDtoKS3VWVJwAI96QvnqizwQZtBp6LkrDpw2_ETtbE5UFtrx36ZOujKrMxIS5qqdmd8d8PAVHRdtLDMX5uew5t_E0rP90Nu8Aa8nGCNO-9WhjEeOIo3Ax1NALcXHzrKJqZ_04FKFM9gBu8G6IsCGFWPPRL9fHjSvkP9K7RFmj/w200-h126/IMG_20191116_101648526.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div>My craft fair adventures are because it is my social life now that I don't have a regular job to go to every day. Most people don't realize when they have spent much of their time at a job. I haven't done many things over my lifetime and mostly put too much into them. When you finally retire, it gets very quiet. Especially when you don't have grandchildren or family nearby to keep you busy. You can start feeling isolated when you stop going someplace daily. For me having my youtube channel and my crafty life keeps me going. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxNaWIXMU-_CM4_jCTB1ObpVTksRe3_cQybd8tm3W5yuWU0K4xkruM1YMCOPWxcX4Nb37JHwUTEAiZ84DqvyeZytrorAMCNwF3fmhikb2kuvh5mgbRl5f3AgonC1p7JPLDo_73EJfTHXZruO7pJR9zQvFdlZPItgtNDfKcW88dP8I3M9kdafywo68I/s2576/20191102_105749.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1932" data-original-width="2576" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxNaWIXMU-_CM4_jCTB1ObpVTksRe3_cQybd8tm3W5yuWU0K4xkruM1YMCOPWxcX4Nb37JHwUTEAiZ84DqvyeZytrorAMCNwF3fmhikb2kuvh5mgbRl5f3AgonC1p7JPLDo_73EJfTHXZruO7pJR9zQvFdlZPItgtNDfKcW88dP8I3M9kdafywo68I/w200-h150/20191102_105749.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div> So, I have been trying to build a community of crafters to engage with each other on social media platforms. Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, Instagram, and youtube. I'm not the media mogul all those young people are; I just want a place where we can get together and share ideas. Sort of like meeting at a coffee shop and doing our own crafts, but having time together and sharing our thoughts. </div><div><br /></div><div>We are starting a monthly craft fair in September, and I am so excited to see how my new items do at this show. Here are some photos so you can see what I'm bringing. I'll update how it went later on.

There were no such things as YouTube where you could find out how to do anything. It was created and failed on your own.

As a preteen, I created my own paper doll clothes. It frustrated me that they didn't have backs, so I made them so that they wrapped around. Fail! Then, I built an appropriately sized dollhouse for my Penny Bright doll. She was a 6-inch tall doll. I felt that she needed an apartment. So I made one for her out of a cardboard box. My dad promptly threw it away. Long story and you thought you had problems!<p></p><br /><p>At 14, I learned to knit from my aunt, and then I taught myself embroidery and crocheting from a magazine. Yes, we read to figure things out, believe it or not. At school, I learned how to sew and make my own clothes. They don't teach that anymore.</p><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZeY-VqLwy2F1Xgy1EBimecVA2mZsJhI-47cklrqlSVmvb-O7Pq3gfA6E0-fJVa3b-GWRcjGV8gjLP-1vdQsCsTAK5qbT5yxTsG-dDrgD_x40yFuI-H6ozY4duGYlxWfxAasDSW_9n1n4/s736/939B3EF7-EADB-455F-91C3-61BA20A3B7F7_1_105_c.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="736" data-original-width="552" height="107" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZeY-VqLwy2F1Xgy1EBimecVA2mZsJhI-47cklrqlSVmvb-O7Pq3gfA6E0-fJVa3b-GWRcjGV8gjLP-1vdQsCsTAK5qbT5yxTsG-dDrgD_x40yFuI-H6ozY4duGYlxWfxAasDSW_9n1n4/w105-h107/939B3EF7-EADB-455F-91C3-61BA20A3B7F7_1_105_c.jpeg" width="105" /></a></div><p></p><p>When I was old enough to go to classes, I found many people the same as me.

Demonstrator, I wanted to give you fair notice. I hope you will stay after you read this, but I will understand if you don't.</p><p>Updating the blog regularly has been hard for me, which causes me a lot of stress and guilt. By the time I figure out what to do and get it uploaded well, it seems I'm always late to the party. It's important that the information gets out there and be accurate and timely. If I were looking at this as a subscriber, I would say GF get it together! </p><p>And so I will. </p><p>So my decision is to change my format, which will not feature Stampin'Up! in the blog. Although I will still provide crafty goodness, I will remove the sidebars and change the name to be clear. Since I always forget to upload a new hostess code or keep up with the sales details. It's probably not informative to anyone, and it causes me to feel totally inadequate.</p><p>My plan is to just make this an area where I can post ideas and be a possible landing page for patterns from videos. Things that are not necessarily time-sensitive. </p><p>Will I still be posting papercrafts? Of course, duh! I also want to share other parts of my crafting experience as well. Think of me as your creative coach; I want to inspire others. That's always been my dream. </p><p>Feel free to comment. I'd like to know what you think, and if you are leaving, please post something so I can thank you for being here and say goodbye.</p><p><br /></p>Maryanne Motthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01986510180701381055noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412450166293161110.post-72630612038185303892021-07-18T11:55:00.003-07:002022-12-10T10:23:37.622-08:00Inspired by<p> Inspired by Sam Calcott from the UK here is my version made with an 8-1/2 x 11” cardstock </p><p>My live video is available on my Facebook.com/creativemix12 although I do have some problems see how I work through it and avoid my mistakes.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgti_ciS-wwLsqGbFfTYEExJKxi1cncoq8NoCHpObAulqsUhoX6g-ap4IqcuSw2CSS5E9dTJdZ38QS_6XNmAY0pgIBqIyz8sXVnpqjQ4RayDyBbcxi8setyU6sha4BiOMsj7CjvmedCGbM/s2048/0248F2AC-DD51-4977-8B58-11E73E82DBC0.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgti_ciS-wwLsqGbFfTYEExJKxi1cncoq8NoCHpObAulqsUhoX6g-ap4IqcuSw2CSS5E9dTJdZ38QS_6XNmAY0pgIBqIyz8sXVnpqjQ4RayDyBbcxi8setyU6sha4BiOMsj7CjvmedCGbM/w432-h240/0248F2AC-DD51-4977-8B58-11E73E82DBC0.jpeg" width="432" /></a></div>Here are all the boxes even though I had some problems during my live broadcast it still worked out.

The end result will be awesome with so many different ideas.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> Everyone can post their final ideas and we all get to see how each of us interpreted the clues.<a href="http://Facebook.com/creativemix12" target="_blank"> Facebook.com/creativemix12</a></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIcGpQR0tVeoJwKaCNRn6CTmUUMZnKq23cIqN37LpREqnrPOF1ivxzoHj3Czf7FwVOPnJFPPhFSpgsBU1gdHVhO3EFfHYpiAJK3VtjLMcnMbNNYXbZ7exc0Cl_7Auarq6F-8C8eNOusKk/s1080/Free+card+class.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="372" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIcGpQR0tVeoJwKaCNRn6CTmUUMZnKq23cIqN37LpREqnrPOF1ivxzoHj3Czf7FwVOPnJFPPhFSpgsBU1gdHVhO3EFfHYpiAJK3VtjLMcnMbNNYXbZ7exc0Cl_7Auarq6F-8C8eNOusKk/w435-h372/Free+card+class.png" width="435" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p>Maryanne Motthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01986510180701381055noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412450166293161110.post-37200600176901497402021-04-01T14:00:00.021-07:002021-04-01T14:00:00.703-07:00Butterfly Bouquet Blog Hop April 2021<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh30qOIXJXsud5Dqt1BlWoOz4lmmQFhedLz2pJfa8Ql0tcEKDUpFB6FXS8EytmjT2TmkDb5VjKdhGv9K08TRowAur7fQrrHPk1kFuBFa21GFyBQhgwa8TkyIrbVakhGyFZP8GW5PWlnVs8/s2662/demo+training+program+blog+hop.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1182" data-original-width="2662" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh30qOIXJXsud5Dqt1BlWoOz4lmmQFhedLz2pJfa8Ql0tcEKDUpFB6FXS8EytmjT2TmkDb5VjKdhGv9K08TRowAur7fQrrHPk1kFuBFa21GFyBQhgwa8TkyIrbVakhGyFZP8GW5PWlnVs8/w640-h203/demo+training+program+blog+hop.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtBJp_MbNsLyMG6FyHdxsqUejhyfENKnbgRix2yOyp4e1uXsGb2eJplqgBpKJpEqkj4xC_Bw2m519_4YDtVJ4kJPqDuVafH7QBWkcCiH6eWDiLOoPvGQB8i03n8dIF89escSBdk5D0pfA/s2048/IMG_1975.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtBJp_MbNsLyMG6FyHdxsqUejhyfENKnbgRix2yOyp4e1uXsGb2eJplqgBpKJpEqkj4xC_Bw2m519_4YDtVJ4kJPqDuVafH7QBWkcCiH6eWDiLOoPvGQB8i03n8dIF89escSBdk5D0pfA/s320/IMG_1975.HEIC" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Die cut card and die cut and embossed butterflies </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyGV7o5BnPJU6a5dLJDVJwiqK4ll3eZZdcKEJpfunr9k8CKtykcMFsg6uGjlU4X8Nc4Rcmf0vjDxc7NFlZd0Q' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Please don't forget to visit my friends and be kind with your comments. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div>
