Crafty Days...

During these cold, yucky days it's hard to get motivated to do anything much less head to the basement scraproom to create. But, I managed to get some inspiration and was able to get a few projects started and another finished. Since getting the SCAL software, I am really having fun with my Cricut. I spent today making some "jewelry envelope/boxes" for a lady looking for a way to present her home-made jewelry designs. This is so quick and easy, and can be dressed up with pattern papers and fancy ribbon.

Altered Placemat Project.......video

I thought I would try a new project and decided to film a “how to” video. It started as a 25 minute video and I cut it down to 8 minutes. I made an altered placemat to put under my dogs’ water bowls. This would be a fun project to do with your kids too. Shoot, you could use the placemat with some dry erase markers or crayons and let preschoolers use it for Basically you need a canvas placemat, contact paper and embellishments.
