It’s Technique Tuesday! Do you remember me saying look at your product not only the correct way, but also upside down and sideways? Well, today is no different. Today I am pulling apart a leaf from the Seasonal Layers Dies. This maple leaf often is too big for me. But a few simple cuts with the Snips and I have a ready made border all set to go.
Happy Crafting!
With inky fingers,
Joni 🙂
P.S. Does anyone see a bat in the remaining leaf on the bottom?

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest or re-charge.
Don’t be afraid to rest. It’s not quitting but it is necessary.
In music a rest allows you to turn the page or another instrument to be featured. It is necessary for the music to change and to keep the audience interested.
In life it is necessary to rest so muscles can heal after a workout. That way you can come back stronger and able to do more.
I hope you are getting the picture…don’t be afraid to rest. Now I am off of here to go put my feet up.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. Some days I am talking about sharing your smile or grabbing lunch with a friend. Other times it’s about mailing cards for an 18 year old boy that needs a full mailbox since he has no party or friends. And still at times it is buying the donuts, the pizza, the wrapping paper, and so on.
So for today I am asking you to show up to the many events happening locally. Not only is there Card Class, but there are several other things as well on Saturday.
I am sure there are others, but this is just to get you started. If you don’t show up then there is no reason for the coordinators to keep doing these events. I would encourage you to show up.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Tutorial Thursday! The air is starting to turn crisp in the mornings and evenings here. Fall is in the air. With autumn comes caramel apples and preparation for Halloween.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Sometimes you need a third hand. Use a punch upside down to help with it.
When the Snow Globe Shaker Dome is set upside down in the 2 1/2″ circle punch you can put glitter and sequins to fill the shaker without spilling. Then you pull the adhesive backing off and stick to the card base.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! Sometimes what would have been a boring card can really be spruced up by adding some metallic, shiny, or foil paper. This card looked rather dull until the Noble Peacock Foil Sheet was added.
If you would like to create this card then come to class this week.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest or re-charge.
And you’re probably reading the headline and shaking your head at me. Going back to the gym is not rest. You are probably wondering if I have lost my mind. Not quite. Keep reading to understand what I am trying to say.
This week I went back to the gym and started focusing on working harder. I went and didn’t just cruise through but actually worked until I felt I could give no more. So the rest in between workouts this week was very sweet.
But I also found with that rest was responsibility. In order for my muscles to grow and to rid itself of the toxins I needed to eat well and drink water.
What I would like to remind you of is that rest is so sweet after you have worked hard and to rest well.
Happy Crafting!
With inky fingers,
Joni 🙂
