I'm excited about bring you wonderful people of Craftsville two (count them TWO, bwa-ha-ha-ha, I love to count the) demos this week.
Up first I'll be demo-ing the Paper-ED class Tags of Christmas Past in which we'll use some of the Tim Holtz Distress Inks, some stamps, and punches, and all kinds of other fun embellishments to create some amazing vintage look holiday tags. That's Tuesday 10/25/11 from 4pm-6pm.
And secondly, I've got some glitter up my sleeve, that I'll be using for my Glittering Demo Friday 10/28/11 from 11:00-1:00. If you've tried glittering before without success, come ask your questions, I can help. I've made all the mistakes, and learned from them. I can show you new adhesives, and new glitters, and new tools to make your glittering process neat, fun, and tear free from beginning to end.
Both demos take place at Michaels West Broad Street. Hope to see you there.

Thank You Card for Bus Driver
I made this "card", which is really a 9x9 single page, doesn't fold, using the Cricut machine and three different cartridges. Plantin for the lettering, Stretch Your Imagination for the school bus and the Paper Doll Dress Up for all the kids. I absolutely LOVE the paper dolls. It was so simple to use each button had all the parts for one costume and there are so many accessories. You could make entire story books. There are princesses and knights and dragons and castles, and horses. It was so much fun.
I took the card to the bus stop this morning and had all the kids from our stop sign the card and we gave it to him. We could tell he was happy to have received the gift.

Halloween Altered Album
I've decided to step away from my Halloween album. I don't think I can ever really call it finished, but at least until I have some photos to put in it, we're taking a break. Because the album barely closes as it is, and there are no photos yet. I can't resist posting a few photos now, there will be more later as this was an intense from scratch album build. The album itself is built on the brown paper bag technique, which is offered as a Paper-ED class at Michaels. This album is my person take on the paper bag album, complete with hand-stitched leather cover. And let me tell you, folks, this is were being an omnicrafter is super useful. I already had ALL these tools.
