There’s lots happening in the studio. And by the looks of the mess I think everyone would agree. 😉 It’s just like the weather outside. I’m trying to figure out what season it is too. So, I should probably tell you what’s coming up. Tomorrow night we have the encouragement card class. Thank you toContinue reading “Lots happening…”

Festival Hangovers
After being out at the Mesa Fest yesterday all day and dealing with the wind, sun, and dust I am feeling a bit hung over. A little bit beat up. My face and lips are a little tighter today due to the sun and wind. I had a good time but I am still aContinue reading “Festival Hangovers”
Festivals, food, and fun!
Good morning! I am up at the Yucca Mesa Community Center all set and ready for you during Mesa Fest. I have new kits, favors, vouchers, and more for you. And I have to say that I am hoping for someone selling a funnel cake. For everyone that orders $25 or more you will getContinue reading “Festivals, food, and fun!”
Sometimes you get back when you least expect it.
I wasn’t expecting much, but I have to say the outpouring of love and support has been overwhelming. In case you haven’t heard I hit the $100K goal on Monday evening. 🙂 And I figured that once the announcement was made about the goal being hit that things would slow down. You proved me wrong!Continue reading “Sometimes you get back when you least expect it.”
Outlines make things stand out.
Take a normal card with a normal stamp and then outline it. Do you see how different a little bit of marker can make a card look? So next time things are looking a little bit dull take a pen to it. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂
Stamping is not just for paper.
Remember to think outside the box. You can stamp on more than just cardstock. Recently I ran across an idea to stamp on wood to create those signs that it seems everyone is doing right now. If you stamp on glass with basic black you will want to take a heat gun to fully dryContinue reading “Stamping is not just for paper.”
Boxes out of envelopes.
Did you know that our tools have multiple uses? For example, the envelope punch board can also be used to create boxes. I found a perfect tool to be used to find out what measurements were needed to create a box. Go to http://thecraftyowl.co.uk/boxbuster/ and keep it handy. This is awesome! And here is what IContinue reading “Boxes out of envelopes.”
Here’s to a new start…
It’s Monday again. I look forward to Mondays as they are a new start to the week. For me it’s all about perspective. That’s it. If I think it will be bad, it probably will be. So, here are the opportunities to get your creative mojo going. This Saturday the 23rd from 10-10 the MesaContinue reading “Here’s to a new start…”
Sundays are usually for rest…
While usually I save Sundays to sleep in, catch up on the mess from the week, and read the paper it’s not the case today. Today we drive to see my husband’s brother that flew in from Germany. It’s a reminder for me to savor the moments you can even if you wanted to sleepContinue reading “Sundays are usually for rest…”
Today is craft fair day!
Some days I wake up and try to remember what day is which. They all seem to run together. Pay bills, get the mail, cook dinner… Well, today is different for me at least. I get a chance to hopefully see you! I will be at Yucca Valley United Methodist Church on Onaga until 2:00Continue reading “Today is craft fair day!”
