I made a couple different cards today and only videotaped one of them.  It wasn’t the greatest idea, because the card I didn’t record, turned out to be the better of the two.  Isn’t that the way it always works out?

The card that I made and intended to make on film, was a card using chalks.  I started making the card and it was really warm and muggy in my office, so I had the window open.  About half way through the card, it started to rain and then it started to hail and my window was still open..  You’d think I would have gotten up and closed it, but I’m such a crafty hoarder that I can’t reach my window and Rich always has to open and close them for me.

I had a really great time with the chalks and think the card came out better in person than on video.  It’s a lot more vibrant in person.  Regardless, it was a lot of fun to play with the chalks and it reminded me of being a kid again.  Of course it didn’t occur to me that I could erase the chalk mistakes I made, so just covered them up.  All in all, the card came out ok.  I’ll probably get more requests for a video on the card I didn’t make a video of, but that’s ok too.
