Skull for birthday card & other misc.

Hey up crafters, 

How's your crafting coming along? What are your inspirations for crafting? Please share with me your inspirations. 
Just a few days ago I was working on my new craft project; the skull project that is. It's slowly but surely coming along nicely now. I've spent quite a few hours doodling and sketching ideas to see what I can do and like. I ended up deciding to draw a skull wearing a hat and a bow tie which had been picked out of thousands to be added to a birthday card to a member of the Backstreet Boys by the boys themselves. Unfortunately not everyone had theirs added but at least they made the effort. It's funny really as when I was drawing it, I had no intention of it being used for a card but glad that I did. I know I still need to come up with more ideas for the skull theme so as time goes on over the next week or so, I will keep researching and sketching new ideas, maybe hopefully moving over to colour. 
I do want to try and stitch a skull together this weekend but not sure whether to have it flat or stuffed like my Christmas tree decs? So far I'm thinking bookmarks, door hangers and maybe key rings... I know I should just do one thing at a time but I'm so keen to see how my ideas look in reality. 
Another thing I'm testing out at the moment is a little wooden photo frame that I want to decorate. I can't wait to have a play around and see what ideas I come up with. Buttons might look nice, don't you think? 
Easter may be around three months away but time will fly by so fast and I don't want to be overloading myself with lots of projects that need doing/finishing at like a month beforehand. I want to steady myself and enjoy crafting as I go along. One thing I have learned from my previous stall is that enough is never enough so every little thing that I do here and there now is one thing extra that's done. 
What ideas do you have that I may like to do? Please share with me. Let me know what you think. See you soon crafters xxx
