Here’s a project that I was excited to have featured in the this month’s new issue of Crafts N Things. It’s a card that I made for my sweet hubby a while back. I used my Scor-Pal to create a ‘oh-so-quick’ nut or popcorn or pretzle cup. Stamps are ‘For the Man’ and Card Suits backgrounder from CHF.

This is a gorgeous issue filled with lots of project ideas for any crafter (beads, cards, fabric, yarn). The editors work really hard to bring a balanced crafting publication to us, and they include many crafting mediums. You can pick it up for a mere ‘five smacks’ at your local Wal-Marts (plural only in the Ozark Mountains!) :)

Thanks for stopping by today!

Heart Warming

Here is a project that my mom and I teamed up on for the current November/December issue of Crafts & Things. Mom embroidered the designs on this tea towel set, and I finished them off with tags and wraps. The top right towel is wrapping a loaf of bread. It was so fun to work together on this. I hope we can do it again. :) Crafts and Things is full of great ideas with easy to follow step-by-step instructions. You can generally find it at your grocery store or Wal-Mart.

  • Stamps: Heart Warmers - Kim Hughes Collection (Cornish Heritage Farms)
  • Cardstock: Kraft and light blue/purple (Prism)
