I love to do anything crafty. With Pinterest and all the other crafty blogs I like to visit I get lots of ideas and inspiration. My problem is that I never sit down to do half of the things I would like to. I've decided that 2012 is going to be the year of the craft. I challenged my group of crafty friends to join me in trying to complete one craft per month for the coming year. Seems simple enough - right? We will see.
Those that accepted my challenge, along with myself will be posting a minimum of one craft project a month starting in January. Something to look forward to!
You may be wondering why I decided on "The Craft Lifters," as a blog title. In the world of scrapbooking , "scraplifting" is a pretty common. It refers to "lifting" or borrowing an idea from another scrapbooker. It is good practice to always credit the artist you have lifted and I think its a great way to get out of a rut and find new things to try. Most of the crafts that I do/want to do I have seen somewhere else and want to "lift" them and put a twist on it to make it my own - hence, "Craft Lifter."
