Christmas is a season for crafts, but also a time of year when the days aren’t long enough. We’re doing our best to show fun crafts, quick enough to squeeze in to the hectic time around Christmas. Inspired by The Crafty Crowand her experiment with Q-tips, we print pretty Christmas- and place cards in todays post. You need a tp roll cut in half, q-tips, two rubber bands and acrylic paint. A paper plate to pour out the color on can be good to have at hand. 1. We begin by attaching a bunch of q-tips around the tp roll. You need to be two to do this, one to hold the tp roll and the q-tips and one to attach the rubber bands. It doesn’t matter if the q-tips end up in a mess to begin with. When the rubber bands are on, you can gently adjust the q-tips evenly around the roll. Pour out a some acrylic paint on a paper plate. 2. Dip the stamp in acrylic paint and start printing! For best result spinn the stamp two or three times on each print. That way the wreath becomes full and pretty. Done! Printing is fast and […]

Thank you for the overwhelming response to this post! If you're interested in holiday themed dates and activities, check out unromantic date night ideas just in time for Valentine's Day! My lovely sister and her husband celebrate their one year anniversary this year. How to celebrate? Well, with a year's worth of date nights, of course. The idea here is that everything needed for each date is included in the box. I made a binder (see below) that acted as the guide to the date night box. Each month they will pick one of the dates, read through the directions found in the binder, and open any accessories marked with that number. I wanted the gift to be all-inclusive so I did my best to include everything they could possibly need for that date. And of course I tried to find new and different ideas. The binder has twelve tabs, one for each month. While I did my best to vary the dates and put them in a logical order they are not sequential. Hence the numbered, rather than monthly, labels. Each tab starts out with a page of directions that describe what they need and will do. Following the directions are checklists, score-cards, etc. You can find all of the documents below. Date Night rules: One date per month. No matter what. Even if you’re busy, even if you move. You must do a date each month; no more, no less. The date (as in day of the month) on which you plan your date (as in the fun thing where you do something special together) is up to you. Some of these activities are great for a weeknight and others lend themselves to a Saturday morning. You decide! You must report back. We need a short note via email or phone call with details about what you did and how it went. Pictures are also required. Ideally you’d take one per date to make a mini series. Anything that allows you to document each of the twelve dates will work. The dates are not in sequential order. Switch things around if you need. Only open the boxes, envelopes and other strangely wrapped accessories only when you’re going on that date. The write- ups provide as much information as you need ahead of time. No peeking! Here's the assortment of boxes and envelopes. I used a mismatch of tissue paper, ribbons, wrapping paper and butcher paper because it's what I had around the house. Somehow everything fit perfectly into this box we had around the house. I actually like the way it turned out! All documents are available via Google Drive. If you want to make changes, click "file," "make a copy," and save it into your drive. If you don't have or use Google Drive you can still download the file and edit that way. Below are the lists of items I included with each date. I tried to choose accompanying objects that would be light and easy to pack (ie a box of pudding mix). If you have more flexibility in packing and transporting you can make changes accordingly. Just remember to avoid anything that can't last a year in a box :) The template and any other documents or lists were printed, hole punched and included in the binder. Other items were wrapped and labeled (see pictures above).

It's a printmaking challenge of my own. There are 52 Fridays in 2014, and my wish is to post a print I made every Friday. 52 prints made this year is a commitment with myself to get back into printmaking after a 13 years hiatus.

Happy Monday! Can you believe it's the last full week of March already?!?! I sure can't ~ this year is just flying by. Well the last week of the month is always fun for me because two very fun things occur....the last Tuesday of the month is Altered Pages "Trending Tuesday" - that's where the AP DT is asked to created based upon a current trend, product or project. This month's Trending Tuesday cue combines two things I love...collage & stencils! I can't wait for you to see what I've created :) The last Wednesday of the month is the Club Scrap Blog Hop! Another very fun event because if you've ever had a chance to play with Club Scrap's paper or stamps you'll understand how cool it is. Well this month's kit was based around the theme - Trees! Today you will get an idea of the project I made because I'm going to share some assembly instructions with you on how to make it....the Never Ending Card!! This card is a real wonder once assembled. It offers so many decorating options is amazing. I have to warn you it is a bit confusing the first couple times and if it's not assembled exactly as shown it won't work so you have to follow the instructions to the T or you will end up very frustrated. Trust me, it took me a couple times to get it just so. Now I tried to make this card several different sizes and finally ended up on the 6x6" finished card. I'll explain why later on. So, let's begin! The Never Ending Card Finished size: 6x6 To begin you will need to cut 4 pieces of cardstock measuring 3" x 6". These could be all one color, two colors as I am using for this example or all 4 different colors. It's totally up to you. Note: This is paper from the Club Scrap Trees kit... Next, score each strip at 1.5" and 4.5" as shown. Orientate your cardstock pieces as shown in the photo - one set horizontally, the other vertically. Number the 4 outer corners of each set of cardstock. You will notice that 1 & 3 are on the outside corners and 2 & 4 are on the inside corners of both sets. Apply 1" of adhesive to each of the outer corners (where the numbers are) on one set of your cardstock pieces. Slide the two pieces of light green cardstock together so you have a 6x6 block of cardstock. To assemble the card you need to match up the numbers - 1 and 3 of the dark green cardstock gets glued to the corresponding 1 & 3 on the light green cardstock; 2 & 4 dark green to the 2 & 4 on the light green cardstock. Now you need to open up the card and crease the score lines. Gently open up the dark green flaps - and fold them under - you will see that you are bending the light green cardstock on it's score lines. Use a bone folder to help sharpen those score lines. Now take the two flaps of light green cardstock and gently fold them towards the back and the dark green cardstock will be folded open on their score lines. Crease these score lines as well. At this point your basic never ending card base is assembled! It's time to decorate...This card offers you 24 different areas to embellish spread over 4 different folded lay-outs!! That's a whole lot of real estate to fill up. Here is why I ended up making the 6x6" card. If you go with a smaller card the individual areas are so small and have funky measurements that it just makes it more of a headache than it's worth. The 6x6 card gives you large enough spaces to use normal stamps and embellishments without having to figure out how to stuff it all in and the measuring is so easy....no confusing fractions down to the tenth of an inch to deal with. The quantity and sizes the the areas are as follows: 8 - 1.5" x 1.5" squares 8 - 1.5" x 3" rectangles 8 - 3" x 3" squares. The next few photos are just to help illustrate each of the different elements available for each of the 4 different folds/lay-outs of the card. You can orient the card either way but I'm starting with the dark green cardstock as the front with vertical flaps. The card front has (4) 1.5" x 3" sections and (2) 3" x 3" sections. Open the green flaps to open the card up to the second lay-out - notice the two narrow rectangles between 7 & 11 and 8 & 12 aren't numbered. This is because they are actually part of the next flip. They do show through on this fold so you may want to keep that in mind when you're laying out the card. This lay-out has (4) 1.5" x 1.5" squares (in the corners) and (2) 3" x 3" squares in the center. Open up the light green squares of the last lay out to reveal (4) 1.5" x 1.5" squares and (2) 3" x 3" squares. Remember the outer 1.5" of each of the 3x3" squares will show in the previous lay-out. The dark green squares from the previous lay-out open up to reveal the very back of the card which has (4) 1.5" x 3" rectangles and (2) 3" x 3" squares. NOTE: When you open up these light green flaps you will be taken back to the beginning. So there you go...assembly instructions and a detailed map of all 4 different lay-outs. You'll have to wait until Wednesday to see how I decorated my card but I assure you it's worth the wait. This card is a real stunner once finished ~ people will be in awe once they start flipping and flipping and flipping... well, you get the picture.
