Mothers day card

I was inspired by the paper weaving 'The Crafty-Arty Kid' shared on her website.  You can check out her tutorial here

I started by collecting pink strips of paper.  I used my paper slicer to make straight lines, because I cannot do it on my own.  After cutting I got started.





 After making my pretty slices I used tape to secure them while I wove the strands in the other direction.  After this tedious task I had something really wonderful.





After making sure my weave pattern was big enough I added tape to the sides, then cut off the ends.  I had a lot of excess paper hanging off the edges.  I think it is pretty and didn't want to waste it.  So by some miracle I thought about putting it on a scrapbook page.  It looks like this:

And some day I hope to add some pictures to it.  I think it would be a good summer page, something with flowers and pool time pics.






This is what an hour of procrastination of homework looks like in my house.  Plus that papers not due for 5 days, so I've got time.  ;)
