Freebie Friday: Holly & Pine – Part 1

Freebie Freitag: Holly & Pine – Teil 1   Ok. This week I’m really excited because it’s time to start sharing a new freebie collection with you. And I spent pretty much every spare minute of this week to work on it (I don’t think I ever spent more time on any of my previous kits). But: I love how it turned out, love some of the patterns I managed to create for the papers, and I love how big this collection is. Yet another record: I’ve never added more items to any of my other collections. But then I thought: It’s a Christmas collection! Not only is Christmas my favorite time of year, but it’s also the time of gift giving and generosity.

Not that I actually care about filling up my home with articles of blue and white plastic (maybe a little gray, too). But that 3D printer was a curious thing, indeed. And it makes me wonder, what will we be able to “print” in the future? Ich habe euch von den fremdartigen Dingen erzählt, die es während der Kulturwoche hier auf dem Campus gibt, oder nicht? Jedenfalls, eine der Kuriositäten, denen ich diese Woche begegnet bin war der 3D Drucker. Nicht, dass ich Interesse daran habe, meine Wohnung mit Produkten aus blauem und weißem Plastik (und vielleicht noch ein bisschen grau) zuzustellen. Aber dieser 3D Drucker war schon eine interessante Sache! In jedem Fall wirft es die Frage in mir auf: Was werden wir in Zukunft noch alles “ausdrucken” können?                   …
