Fabulous Friday - Free Day

At Scrap Shotz, every Friday is fabulous and this one is no different! But this friday is our Fabulous Free Day. A day where we tip toe out of comfort zone. Check out my challenge below.

Every once in a while, don't you feel like just creating whatever pops into your mind? Well, that feeling overcame me last weekend. My youngest was dancing around the house in her play clothes and accessoried her outfit with a necklace similar to the picture below.



During one of her pirouettes, her wand caught the necklace and it shattered everywhere. Of course, she cried. So what is a Mom to do? A princess cannot possibly dance without a necklace...so I set out to make her a paper necklace! I dug into my scraps bin and pulled out some pink paper. I made some "beads" and "flowers" and set out to re-create my version of the necklace.

Here is my princess's new necklace! The smile says it all.


(I'm still in the running for Mom of the Year!)

I hope I've inspired you to create somethng that is outside of your comfort zone. So what have you made lately that was "just-because?" I would really love to see it!
