Wow I finally had some time to work on some cards.
They are all from my Paper Wishes card kit.
It has been very busy around our home. We are trying to sell my mom's home. So lots of cleaning and packing and fixing. Getting my youngest ready for her driving test. She passed the written now has the driving part this Sat. We had to get her car ready. new mirrors, tabs, insurance. and School, and Dance and this year she added Color Guard to the list of stuff to do. I can't wait when she can drive her self it will free up SO much time for me.
Had someone ask how I did the tree.. I hope I can explain it. I am not good at telling just showing.
so here it goes.
first I cut 8 , 2 inch squares
then fold them in half
then open it back up
turn it over and fold 2 of the corners to the middle
Turn back to the front and fold the 2 corners to the middle again
when all 8 are folded glue into a tree shape starting with one on the bottom
then 4 for the bottom layer
then three for the top layer
I hope you got it...have fun.

The Ballet Font Project.... SOOOO Cool
http://www.balletfont.com/#/Home
While looking for inspiration, a team at WK12 (an experimental agency based within the Wieden + Kennedy advertising firm) came across a story about a young girl who needed to move in order to learn
“… In first grade, Paula Jones was assessed as 'learning disabled.' By sixth grade she was still at the first grade reading level when one empathetic teacher recognized her poise and graceful movements. This teacher encouraged Paula to go home and spell out the alphabet using her arms and legs as though she were a ballerina. Paula came in the very next morning dancing the letters and then sequencing all 26 into a unified performance. Within a week she moved from dancing words to writing them. By the end of 6th grade she was reading and writing at grade level. And the following year a 'learning disabled' Paula earned above-average grades. "
