When I’m Stressing…..
These are mats and cards made from the “Multi Layered Mats Using Corner Punches” technique. I’m looking forward to teaching this class. These are the new Piggy Tales papers – Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater collection.
The blog question asks what do I do to calm down when I’m really stressed. The picture above is my answer. I find fine detail work with paper very soothing. I like cutting the mats to size and getting them to fit together. I like to stamp a whole sheet of paper with one design, and then paint it in with different colors to see how they look. When I’m stressing, it isn’t the time for me to think about a whole layout, or design something specific – that would take too much thought. When I’m stressed, I like to keep my hands busy and let my mind wander! Music at this time is a wonderful thing. See I’m relaxing already – just thinking about it!
And, in the words of Rosanna Barr – “When I have a headache, I do exactly what it says on the bottle. I take two and stay away from children”
