Here's what I've been up to a bit:I taught a technique class last Thursday with Ranger Products and Studio 490 Stamps. These are my a few of my friends from Fellowship of Scrapbookers.
Does it look like we all had fun? I know I did. I can't wait until our next meeting!
Here is what my husband I did yesterday. LOL Jim would not let me take my camera into the grocery store, but I had my trusty phone with camera. He let me take a few pictures, but he was always saying "hurry up, hurry up!" LOL LOL LOL I nearly died laughing with him and my camera. Usually the kids get in this situations and just roll their eyes. Jim was a very good sport. Must be the spirit of the season.
Scrappy News:
There is too much inspiration on the Internet right now for me to narrow it down. Oh, my goodness it is everywhere. Here are a few...but keep looking for what is out there.
Ali Revisits Last Year's Projects
Paper Crazy has a project every few days. Right now there is one using a Fiskars Scallop punch.
Here is a wonderful class you can take from one of our Garden Girls at Two Peas in a Bucket. Journal your Christmas.
I could go on for an awful long time. But instead of me what about YOU? Post a comment with your favorite crafty link(s) with holiday fun projects. I'll randomly draw a winner for a set of either Heidi Grace or Lil' Davis Christmas acrylic stamps at the end of the week.
Gratitude List
1. Fellowship of Scrapbookers

I love getting craft and gift ideas from http://tipjunkie.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteMy favorite blog to visit for inspiration is: www.heroarts.com/blog. They always have layouts and cards there with videos even on different techniques. check it out
ReplyDeleteI am really liking the Fiskars Craft website with their project for the day. There are a few things in there I plan on making. I just gotta hurry my butt and get things done.
ReplyDeleteWell...they are not so much holiday related, but I am taking advantage of all my scraps and making quilts this season (this was my original inspiration http://www.quiltville.com/stringx.shtml and there are lots of other great patterns here too!) I won't be keeping any of these quilts...I will be giving them to the women's shelter and I hope they will bring some light into a child's life this season. So far, I have two tops prepared and 3 on the go :) I can't wait to see others links...I love holiday crafting and I am highly inspired right now (just wish time would work with me :) Hehe) Thanks for the opportunity!

ReplyDeleteHere's a site that has a tutorial for a squash book. They're quick, easy, and can work for any occassion.
Do you think that you could make a tutorial about the technique you taught your friends? What they made looked really nice. Enjoyed your pictures of your shopping trip too.
That LO is beautiful! It is so much fun to play with old pictures!!

Anonymous pretty much said it all!
I saw your post on the sb.com site and thought I'd pop over for a visit! So glad I did! I thought your photos in the grocery store were pretty funny. I do that all the time for challenges on sb.com! I have been getting some serious holiday inspiration from Ali Edwards' blog. She has some very simple and beautiful things over there! I have already made the little button trees and December Daily Album...who knows whats next!

First I want to say thanks to you for always doing a wonderful job. I love to look at your post.
ReplyDeleteFiskateer/Fiskars is one of my most go spots. As I too, am a Fiskateer, aka Ms. Jackie #3017. Better know as Ms. Starbucks. But I am also on Scrapbook.com and Cricut.com all the time. These are some of my must list.
Congrad on being one of the five FOY. I was up in VC when Julie was almost "hung" We had such a great time. I believe none of the other crops were as orange as we were. Now I have to get going on my album. Lots of wonderful photos
Thanks again.
