I named myself The Crafting Professor, since I'm a crafter, and I'm a college professor. I went through many, many years of graduate school, and the best source of relaxation and stress relief was being in my craft room or going to a local crop. Back then, I never told anyone that I was a full-time graduate student. I was waiting for the day I would scrapbook my graduation page. Now, I run the ScrapbookerPhD challenge blog (http://scrapbookerphd.blogspot.com), and am bringing my passion for crafting and teaching together. But here, at The Crafting Professor, I'm just sharing my work with like-minded crafters from all over the world.

For my project, I created a tri-fold card for a friend of mine whose mother died suddenly. I want her to know that I am thinking about her. I started with the base DP from My Mind's Eye, Bohemia stack. I used the Cricut cartridge Creative Cards to create this cut. All the flowers were cut with cardstock, and I added touches of gold colored glitter. Then, I added paper flowers with clear gems in the center. Finally, I added a bumble bee brad at the top of the flowers.
