Here's the start of the Christmas Book: I'll post pictures of the other classes as I design them. Thanks for looking! Jackie

Use the code HALFOFF2 to get the discount. Here's last month's kit. I grab the box on my way out the door on a mini vacation with the family. I thought, "If we find some time to craft this will be perfect for it." It turns out that we had some down time on the trip. The girls said they were bored so I brought out the box. Here's my girls making cards, envelopes and stamping. Do you want to try receiving this box every month?

I am so excited to show you this card. I made it out of the scraps on my desk. I had to use one of my sponged "mess ups" so it wouldn't go to waste. But it was kinda plain so I stamped on it and added a photo of my husband and our two girls. Tip: I went into Microsoft Picture manager and played with the color on this photo. I wanted it to look muted and older. Then I printed it out on plain copy paper and cut it out. Here's the card I made. I finally got to try using the stamp set Peach Keen with the Photo Framelits. My downline and friend Kristie helped me figure this one out. Just cut out the camera shape with the framelits, flip it over and stamp the image of the camera on it. Easy! No scissors involved. Another fun embellishment on this card is the wooden arrow. I love that it helps draw your eye to the photo. Maybe I will give this to my hubby to brighten his day. Bringing back a memory from a carefree day. I hope you enjoyed my creation. Come back...

I know you all are just dying to see what I made so here it is. Supplies Used: Bermuda Bay cardstock, Crumb Cake Cardstock, glimmer silver paper, News Print Paper (retired), Early Espresso Co'ordination paper (sanded), Very Vanilla cardstock, Bermuda Bay Ink, Early Espresso Ink, Very Vanilla crochet ribbon, Thinlits die, Postage Due Stamp Set, Banner Blast Stamp Set, Postage Stamp Punch, Banner Punch. Yes all of these things were out and on my crafting tables. I even sponged the edges with Early Espresso Ink because I had a sponge sitting there. I should show you a picture of my desk clean now right? LOL. Hope you enjoyed this post. Leave me a comment if you would like to see this as a weekly post. Have a blessed day.

Well if you want to know what's on my crafting table take a look: This is just a small section of it too. So while I was cleaning up and putting away my crafts I had an idea. What if I showed you what my desk looks like every Wednesday and then on Thursday I show you what I made with the scraps I had on my desk. Sound fun? I think it would make me have more fun while cleaning up. So come back tomorrow and I'll show you what I made using what's on my crafting table. (and I didn't pull any extra paper out I swear!) The reason I had some scraps on my desk was because of this project I made. I think this will be my next card class. (See my events page for more info). I used new designer paper that I got out of the Mini Occasions catalog. It's so pretty. Plus I used a new embossing folder and punch. Makes this card easy to duplicate over and over. You could change it up and use whatever designer paper you have. Just have a coordinating cardstock and ink pad....
