Local class March 24

Date: March 24  At Scrapbook Territory in Berkeley, CA    Time: 10a – 4p
With spring just around the corner and new products rolling into the store every week, it’s the perfect time to settle in for some creative play. Author and long time instructor May Flaum is visiting Scrapbook Territory for a special exclusive crop! Attendees will receive goodie bags and a layout kit featuring brand new (not even on store shelves yet!) Pink Paislee London Market Papers. There will also be give-aways during class, bottled water and snacks for attendees, and May will be doing five product demonstrations featuring Ranger, Pink Paislee, and more. She  will also be available to show you loads of her new projects that she’s been making, share tips and tricks, and assist you with your projects as well. More than just a crop – this is a day of creative play! Seating is limited so reserve your space soon.

Note: attendees should bring crop supplies and projects to work on

Stamper’s Corner May 19 in Elk Grove, CA

time for a silly [non craft] break…

Oh He Man… [can't. stop. laughing. this funny or die video is hilarious.]

Fun fact: This is one of my fave songs playing in my studio these days…

Now taking requests…

I’m working on some new series of posts here, working on fresh content/projects/etc. to bring to you, and always so much more, but I thought I’d ask…

any requests?

Any specific product, or subject, or burning question you have for me about crafting or in general?

let me hear it!

I thank you for stopping by my blog, for reading, for wanting to spend a bit of time here with me.

I’ve got a mini-series that involves fresh projects + prizes every Friday in March.

YES. I will be posting about Tim’s new Distress Markers (so many requests for this)

I’m bringing a new version of my most popular on-line class to this blog (for free) this summer.

So yes, I’ve got ideas and will be sharing a lot of things… but if you’ve got a question, request, etc… well now’s a real good time as I plot out the upcoming weeks/months…

This week via Pinterest…

I won’t be doing a pinterest post every week, but if I have a big pinning week (as I did this week) I’ll be sure to share inspiring finds and/or things I pinned.

I have spring fever…

 

 

 

and a party to plan this weekend…

Here’s hoping for a very inspired week!

May’s Pick | Crafter’s Workshop stencils

I’ve been crafting a lot, and working on a lot of projects to share. A regular feature you’ll be seeing here on my blog is “May’s Pick”. Essentially this is a way I’ll be sharing favorite products that I’m using a lot. Not just pretty things to look at – but useful things! This week I pick a Balzer designs stencil.

Blue Moon Scrapbooking has a huge selection available of the new designs! I prefer the 6″ stencils, the size just works better on my projects, and I use them all the time. Today’s pick is the stars & circles stencil. Used as a stencil, or inked and then “stamped” onto paper the design has so many possibilities. I could see it with reds and blues for a patriotic look, greens and browns for an outdoors or more masculine look, or any number of combos! I know it’s going to become a favorite and highly used one for sure.

Watch for a new stencil video + project coming this Thursday. I’ve got a lot of projects to make and mess to make with my new treasures – I’ll be sure to share here (and if you’re in Field Guide you’ll see it there too!) soon!
