Apology/Workshop Projects

I must apologize for not blogging much this week. I have had some things come up in my life this week that have made it a bit hectic! BUT, it's been wonderful! One thing that made this week a little crazy was a stamping workshop I hosted tonight! The pictures are of the projects we made. The top ones are more magnetic bookmarks and the last one is the card we made. :) I hope this inspires you to create today! Happy stamping--I'll try to be back to my CRAFTY self soon! ;D

Yesterday's Workshop...

Here is the picture of a sample project from yesterdays workshop...quick and easy! I used my favorite faux mod podge technique. :) For more details on HOW to faux mod podge, click HERE. Happy creating!

Here Comes Peter Cottontail...

Hoppin' down the bunny trail! Here is a sweet treat basket that we made at my last workshop. The die cut is from Stampin' Up! as are the stamps. :) I absolutely LOVE how it turned out--and it's quick and easy to make! Happy upcoming Easter! I hope that the love of Christ touches your hearts and enters your home this wonderful season! Happy crafting!

Open House Projects

Okay, here they are! Simple and quick. The birthday and bliss cards are the ones you will make, the St. Patrick's day one is a demo and the diaper fold pouches are samples of how to use the Sale-a-bration items. I can't wait! :) PS: Sorry some of the pictures are on messy backgrounds...I need to re-paper my tables. :)

Sale-a-brate!

Ok...here's a quick post of the items I'll be using for my open house projects on Saturday. Aren't they AMAZING! I will post the project pictures later... :)

Be Mine Workshop Projects

Sorry for the lack of posts this month (and sorry this one is SO short)--I've been distracted by other things lately. I've tried to simplify my life and not stress about things that may or may not be necessary for my and my family's well being.

ANYWAY...here are pictures of the three projects we made at my Be Mine Workshop last Saturday--quick, cute and LOVEly! :) The inside of the big card says, "You're just my 'type'!" and the inside of the little card says, "You're the apple of my eye." I hope they inspire you to make a Valentine today!!! Happy crafting!

Very Merry Workshop Projects

I love Christmastime! And I love crafting--as you all know! The pictures above are of the three projects we will be making at my Very Merry Workshop this weekend. I want to share the instructions on how to make the ornament. They are really wonderful to make as a gift and they can be personalized with whatever patterned paper you want. Hope you can make one soon! Happy crafting!!!

Double Ball Ornament

Supplies:

*1 sheet of 12"x12" DOUBLE SIDED patterned paper
*Small hole punch
*Hat pin with cap
*Beads
*Ribbon
*Silver elastic cording

Instructions:

1. Cut 10 pieces of 4" x .75" paper.
2. Cut 10 pieces of 3" x .75" paper.
3. Group the same sizes of paper together and punch a hole about 1/4" from the end.
4. Place the bigger pieces on the hat pin alternating the pattern that is face up. Take the BOTTOM piece and loop it over through the hat pin. Repeat this until all 10 pieces form the top ball.
5. Do the same thing with the smaller pieces.
6. Add beads and cap the hat pin.
7. Add ribbon and elastic cording.
8. Gift it or use it!!!

FALL in Love with Stamping!

I am so excited for my upcoming workshop! I'm calling it Thanksgiving Table. Why? Because my customers and friends will get to make 3 quick, easy, gorgeous projects to enhance their upcoming Thanksgiving table setting. They'll get to make a place card, a napkin ring and a treat dish for just $10 using exclusive Stampin' Up! products. Take a look at the pic above--these are two of the projects! I just know that you will FALL in love with stamping if you come and join us!!! I'll post project instructions after my workshop. Happy stamping!

A Boo-tiful Thing

Well, it's that time again. FALL!!! I love fall because we have awesome holidays during this season. First up is Labor Day (blessed day of no work!) then comes Columbus Day and then....HALLOWEEN! I just love Halloween! It's so much fun to have kids come to your door and see everyone's costumes. I also love snitching candy from the candy bowl. :) But I really adore the wonderful stamps that Stampin' Up! has come out with this season. The projects above are for this year's Trick-or-Treat workshop. Have a boo-tiful day, and as always, happy stamping!
