Bring on the sun!

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are all staying warm and dry. Maybe it’ll be over soon, but not too quickly! I saw some more snow a little bit ago, not sure what it’s doing now.  I'm ready to see the sun!

I’ll be starting some crafting classes. I love paper and making things, I hope you’ll let me show you how! For now we’ll be making cards, but I’ll throw in some other fun stuff now and then. Let me know if there is something else you’d like to learn.

The classes will begin in March.

Cricut Stuff

Hi there,

All I can say is "baby steps" I really want to be more consistent, but alas!  Here I am anyway, today I played with some adorable svg files and I made a Butterfly Fairy House, from Dreaming Tree.  So cute, there's a set of three, I'll start the next one tomorrow, yay!

Just so you know, I took creative license with this project.  That's my only excuse.  But hey! It was fun and I love it.

New Class

Okay, I'm ready to do some crafting, join me in my Kraft Kottage!   I'll be offering some new classes and open crafting.   The first class will be to make a gift bag, and it will be held on two different days.  You can do one or both.

Splitcoaststampers calls it a box in a bag, others call it a bag in a box.

It's pretty cute and sort of looks like a purse.

Come on and join me!

New Classes and Workshops!

The seasons are upon us!  Soon the Halloween costumes will be put away to make way for the fall decor for Thanksgiving!  Such beauty in all of it, well, except some of the costumes!  They go way out sometimes, but what fun!

The following is a photo of the projects from a class I did earlier this month. They were so fun!

I've got some new classes posted after a long and fun break.  I've been having lots of fun with family and friends, but now it's time to get serious with the crafting!  I love papercrafting and love to share with friends.  I hope you can join me.

Go on now, get creative! Have a great day!

Fun Sunday

I was invited to do a demo for some ladies and had a lot of fun.  I met some new friends and got to visit with a friend.  We made a quick little card, then I tried to show them how to cut and make a box from the Art Philosophy cartridge, but my Cricut quit! Bummer, they were very understanding and even invited me back!

Here's the card, they really liked it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sit Down Saturday

How funny, I just can't figure out how to create a blog title so I'm going to 'wing it' for awhile until I come up with just the right ones.  But if you're reading this I appreciate that you're not running off.  Thank you!

The card I created for today is so cute and simple.

It's a 4x4 card.  I used Colonial White for the card base, Sarita for the mat, Goldrush and Buttercup for the flower, cut using Artiste (pg.55) and the banner cut from Buttercup using Artiste (pg.35), Happy Birthday is from the Banner Wishes, My Acrylics stamp set.  All are products from Close to My Heart.

Don't forget to make a comment and/or follow my blog to be entered into this months drawing!

Have an enjoyable day and get creative!

Happy August

I have been traveling around this summer.  Not a lot by some folks standards but for me... a lot!  I've acquired a few things along the way and want to share with some of my BUNCO peeps.  I play BUNCO twice a month with 11 other girls each time and on Fridays I organize a group at the Kennewick Senior Center.  So my craft today sort of shows a bit of craftiness and frugalness.

(I did my best with the photography.)

I found some really cute post-its in Disneyland.  There were so many of them I decided to divide them up to share with lots of my friends.  I cut the tag from White Daisy cardstock using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.  I sponged the edges with Blush, Creme Brulee, Heavenly Blue (sorry all retired colors) and Sweet Leaf. So there you go with some tightwad craftiness.

I hope you have a wonderful day.
