Hello Everyone, here is my video on a swap I did for MAS (Mini Album Scrap). It was my first Chunky Charm swap and I'm please on how they turned out. The theme was fashion, and our presentation to hold the charms also had to be fashion related. So I made jewelry boxes out of the little boxes that I kept from something I ordered. I knew one day I could put those little boxes to use. The charms had to have 15 dangles and 5 of them had to be related to the theme. I had a hard time finding fashion charms in the craft stores. So I made some of them, I made a hair clip and I shrunk down Vogue magazine covers and made charms. I'm not sure what you are suppose to do with the charms since they are so chunky. I will have to ask the ladies in my swaps. I think they just like to collect them and don't do anything with them :). Not sure if I will do another chunky charm swap, it was expensive to make these. I had to make 3 charms and I will get 3 different ones back, so I excited to see what I get in returned. The women in these swaps are very creative and talented.

2015 Christmas Cards

Hi Crafters, I wanted to share this year's Christmas cards I made. Each year I like to come up for 4 designs to make and sell. I made 350 of these cards which took me about a month. There was some major mass producing going on. I even recruited my sister to help me while I was visiting her over Thanksgiving. She was a big help with the "Happy Holidays" card. When I'm thinking about the layout of a card, I know I want it to be quick to mass produce, but still look nice. So when I made just one of these cards, I thought these were simple and would be quick to mass produce, especially the " Happy Holidays" one. Wrong!!...HAHA The only one that was quick, was the snowman card. This card was made using this Stampin Up stamp set. I got the idea from Stampin Up, but added my twist. The others had too many steps. So my advice crafters, is when you want to mass produce cards, think twice what you may think that would be quick to make. Once I got my...

Hi Everyone,  I went to an indoor rummage sale yesterday and was on a hunt for glass pieces to glue together to use for my crafting embellishments. I would see vids on YT on other crafters and they would be talking about their candy stations and I didn't know what they were talking about. So I looked up some vids and saw that a crafter's "Candy Station" was pretty containers holding embellishments  placed on together in an area. Which I think is a great idea if you have the space. I have a lot of embellishments packed away, I forget what I have. So I am in the process of creating my own calorie free Candy Station. Oh I might sneak a bowl of chocolate in there, after all what's crafting without a little chocolate!  I thought I can make mine own. So I dug through old boxes of things I got from grandmother and found old glassware. The 2nd photo is what I bought for a 1.00 at the rummage sale.
