Bits and Pieces

Published by Julia Stainton under Card Designs

As I clean up my creating corner to get ready to move into my new craft room, I’ve been finding bits and pieces of projects and embellishments that never quite made it into a final project. I don’t know what it is about cleaning up my craft space but it always gets me revved up to create something. Here’s one of the cards I created this weekend after coming across some odds and ends. It’s easily to make it into something new rather than find someplace to put it away, right?

As for the craft room, we made some progress yesterday! I have shelves in the tiny closet, a new countertop, the doors are trimmed and the baseboard is down. Yay! I think I’ll be spending tomorrow with a paintbrush in hand. As soon as I can get the baseboards done, I can start moving in as the things left to do can all be done with my desk in the room. I’m not sure how much actual papercrafting I’m going to get done this week but I’m going to have a blast getting things set up.

Creative Block

Actually this post is not about a creative block but about lots of creativity in block form. Today I have a new ScrapBLOCK release and also a fun wall art tutorial for the CLASSroom featuring square BLOCK canvases.

Here’s the new Scrapblock…

Calendar Year Scrapblock

I can’t wait to show you some fun ways to use it. A couple of the projects I made with it were picked up and I’ve been so under the weather that I haven’t managed to create some more.Hopefully soon!

Family Wall Art

Here’s a project I had so much fun creating for the CLASSroom. As you may know, I’m on a bit of a home dec kick right now and thought this would be a great project to play around with. Tutorial and step outs can be found here.

We have a busy weekend planned working on my craft room. I can’t wait until I can move in!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Giving Thanks

With American Thanksgiving around the corner, I thought today would be a great time to have a being thankful challenge. I know that Canadians, me included, have already celebrated in October…it’s good to be thankful all year. This challenge doesn’t necessarily be Thanksgiving related…feel free to make some thank you cards or even a thankful journal. Play along with the challenge here.

Coming Soon

I just couldn’t resist doing a vintage design with this little stork image and some Jenni Bowlin goodies. The soft yellows and greens make it perfect for either gender.

Fresh From God

Truly…the button and the paper on this card DO match. I’m not sure what is up with how the light was hitting that button!

Sorry so short but I’m still on the mend!

Take care!
