Put a Little Spring in your Art

Normally, I post about {studio j} online scrapbooking, but I love this little spring gizmo so much, I just had to show you. When I was a little kid, I loved pop-up birthday cards so much, it became a big part of my childhood memory. Anything to do with paper, folded paper, spinning paper wheels, flip books, paper mosaic, and scrapbooks with photos and paper report cards - well I was really into that! In high school (two different high schools, in fact) I managed to get on the yearbook staff. In a college art class called "Collage and Mixed Media," I made a pop-up card to memorialize my dear English Springer Spaniel. (I'll post a photo soon) Now, Close To My Heart has these cool little springs to add another dimension to paper art. How fun! I'm putting in an order for some springs of my own soon. I'd be delighted to have a CTMH home gathering to play with these. Several Tuesday nights are open, or I can do a Saturday afternoon if that suits your schedule. Give me a jingle and we'll get spring-y!
