We celebrate this national holiday by scrapping today and into the weekend with projects that remind us of housework or getting away from it!!! Take the day off, put up your feet and let's hop!

MY PROJECT

I tried a couple different projects for my no housework day.  My first project was a postcard that feature's the wording "Apron's Away" with a couple aprons I made out of cardstock, ribbon, Studio G glitter glue, and a couple stamps.  I was trying to capture the thrill of not having to take care of a house for one day!  (Those are aprons by the way...They kind of look like a really cute dress and skirt, I know!)

My second project was a flower embellishment.  I found the idea in the April issue Scrapbooks Etc. and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to try it.  I used a Martha Stewart border punch on plain white paper and on patterned paper.  I sprayed the white paper with Tattered Angels Lime Twist glimmer mist and let dry.  After a couple tries folding I finally figured out how to get the paper to fold correctly and to lie flat.  Using Aleene's Tacky Glue, I glued the green flower to a cardstock circle, followed by the patterned flower.  I then layered it with a silk flower and finished it off with a pearl. 

I am offering a small giveaway to be awarded at the end of the National No Housework Day Online Blog hop.  All you have to do is follow my blog and leave a comment.  At the end of the hop a winner will be chosen at random.  Please make sure you leave your email address so I can get in touch with you.  The winner will also be announced on http://ifitsgroovy.blogspot.com
