100 Handmade Foam Stamps - WE DID IT!!!
I achieved the goal of creating 100 Handmade Foam Stamps as part of the #dothe100dayproject!! This is my 100th Stamp...
What always amazes me is the different emotions that you feel along the way for any challenge. At the start you have doubts and wonder if you can finish, midway you can sometimes feel fed up and not sure if you can go on. At the finish line you can feel as if you could quite easily do another 100 days!
Looking back from this vantage point it feels as if the time has gone really quickly. I look back to when I started a little over 3 months ago and start to wonder about all the other challenges I could get myself to do and all the things that I could achieve in that time.
I think one of the good things was knowing that others were doing the challenge too, all be it different projects, but you had others who knew what it was like to make that 100 day commitment and share their ups and downs as well.
Here are all the stamps that I shared over the 100 days
The stamps were all made from recycled foam or thin sheet of craft foam that had been layered. I will be making some of the designs available on my Etsy store and Course Platform
Let me know if you took the challenge and how you found it, are you going to do another, take a break, how do you feel now you have completed it?
