Hee hee! New post! So I think most of the people I scrapbook with know that I'm not much of an actual 'paper crafts' person. I don't like to make knick knacks or albums from paper....I really just prefer to scrapbook memories. I just don't know what to do with those cute little albums and knicker knacks that I would potentially make. They'd probably just pile up in my scraproom and I would be afraid to toss them because 1.) they're so cute 2.) they're made with my cute patterned paper and embellishments 3.) I put lots of effort into them. So I stick to the good old traditional scrapbooking thingy. Anyhow, having said that, I've been reading the My Mind's Eye blog lately and noticing that they do paper challenges over there. They did a 'spooooooky' challenge over there this month and I gave in and gave it a try.
I made a wall hanging that I'm going to hang on my wall for Halloween!! And it's made from paper! I guess you could consider it a knicker knack. But I'll just pack this one up after Halloween is over and then pull it out again next year to once again hang on my wall. BUT. I didn't just make one....I made TWO!! See, the one I submitted to contest won't be shown until Oct.28. Much too long to wait. So I've got this other one that I'm going to post here!
This is a big thing for me. I don't normally make knicker knackers people!!!!!
You'll have to wait until Oct.28 to see the other one. Cackle cackle cackle!!1

Wow. I had given up on your blog, and then I find 3 new entries! I love the paper cats... what a great Halloween hanging! Can't wait to see the other one!
I'm really going to try to update at least once a week with something interesting. I'm feeling bloggy again.
Edmonton's got TALENT!
I think holiday knickerknackers are fine to make. It's nice to decorate the place for holidays . . . it's a visual departure from the same old same old and it makes you excited about each holiday. Of course, having a little girl to dress up for Halloween, or unwrap Christmas presents, or eat Easter candy helps too.
Those paper cats are pretty cool! I like the knick knacks for holidays, because then you don't have to look at it all the time, but you can reuse it again next year!
The cats somehow have a 'Connie' signature to them......maybe it's the 'google' eyes....cute!
