Getting Crafty During The Virus

Getting Crafty During The Virus


It has been hard for me and my family during the Stay At Home orders for Colorado.  The COVID-19 virus has made life different for everyone.  My husband and my 16 year old daughter are both considered essential employees.  I never thought I would see the day when my teenager was needed at work more than those her senior.  She works as a bagger in the military commissary (grocery store) and many of those who work with her are retired military guys, all over 60 years old.  They have been staying home and staying safe instead of going into work.  The younger folks, high school and college age kids, are working extra days to fill in the gaps.  Sadly, my daughter and my husband have both fallen ill this week.  We are waiting to hear the results for the virus tests.  In the meantime, I am trying to keep my mind elsewhere instead of dwelling on the what ifs. 

I have been working on a bunch of cards since the Stay At Home orders were given by our Governor.  Here are a few that I have created.


These are the items I used to create them.

Today I will start on my Week 14 scrapbook layout for the Year In The Life album I began this year.  Here is the Week 13 layout I did last week.


I used an older Cut Above Kit for the base paper and some of the die-cuts and turned a Christmas layout into a COVID-19 virus and birthday layout.  I have been trying to use up a bunch of my paper crafting stash during the long days at home.  I am sure if you dig into what you have, you will find things that were once old new again!
