Greetings!
As I said in an earlier post, as crafters, we have to be ahead of the game or at least the seasons. I am still working on Patriotic ideas, but wanted to share with you my Straw Wreath and the Star which I did some embellishing on.
Here are both of them with our traditional Pop display…
Here are closeups of each of them…
The Straw Wreath (which usually connotates a bale of hay or straw!) was so fun to make. It takes an average of 45 straws, but I think I squeezed in 49. The most fun was collecting so many different patterns on these drinking straws. Some are from past years, and many found this year. A small MDF ring is the middle on which I glued the straws (after painting it navy blue). Then you can embellish as you wish! I am a "medallion" fan, so made a bunch and added a few other little items.
The Star will soon have it's partner to display. But I have so many other things to do at the moment, that will be in June.
Here is a card I made for my groups challenge for this week…staying in the Patriotic Theme..
Word to the wise – May 31st is the LAST day to get anything from the Occasions Catalog. Also the LAST day to get anything from the 2015-2016 catalog AND the Retired List. For those of you getting a catalog from me, I will be mailing them out the last week in May, since they aren't "live" until June 1st.

Well, that is it for me. Hope you all have a wonderful week – we are at Disneyland for several days, having the time of our lives!
Remember to be kind to others and make time to enjoy "Creating With Paper".
