Happy Lunar New Year! 

2015 is the year of the goat..or is it the ram..or is it the sheep? The Chinese word for goat means ram and sheep as well.  Of the 5 elements, earth, fire, metal, wood, and water, this is the year of the wood goat.  

The Goat is probably the most artistic of all the twelve animals with a big passion for theatre, literature, music or art. They are natural creators and are rarely happier than when they are occupied in an artistic pursuit. As well as having a passion for art they can also be quite religious people and often have a deep interest in nature, animals and the countryside. - Feng Shui Store

This year I decided to make red envelopes for my family and it went amazingly!  It was 3 days of cutting, scoring, and gluing; it was quite relaxing even after a long day of work.  I'll cut this short and insert the images:

I wanted to stick to original envelope sizes to keep things familiar

These envelopes open out with a pocket for mullah and space for text

I have a collection of super old gel pens that barely work, the new gold metallic Uniball one I got was amazing to work with!



Happy Crafting!
